Post-functionalized iridium-Zr-MOF as a promising recyclable catalyst for the hydrogenation of aromatics

The multifunctional heterogeneous catalyst iridium-Zr-based MOF is able to effectively catalyze the hydrogenation of aromatic compounds in high yields under mild conditions. The catalyst was found to be highly active and reusable, giving similar reactivity and selectivity after at least five catalytic uses.
