A thorough grasp of the mechanism underlying organic reactions requires an understanding of key concepts, including the “anomeric effect” (AE). This concept clarifies the stereoelectronic interactions that occur during the formation of structures containing heteroatoms. The term “anomeric-based oxidation” (ABO) has been coined to describe the process by which reactive intermediates yield final products through the interaction of lone pairs on nitrogen atoms with the anti-bonding orbitals of C-H bonds (nN σ*C-H). This novel approach facilitates the oxidation of molecules without relying on external oxidizing agents. Additionally, stereoelectronic effects are crucial in the oxidation-reduction processes of sensitive biological compounds. Recently, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as a new category of highly customizable porous materials, owing to their wide variety of ligands and metals. MOFs possess numerous advantageous properties, including exceptionally high surface area, tunable pore size, adjustable inner surfaces, and charge conduction capabilities. These unique features make them suitable for applications in various fields such as gas absorption, energy storage, drug delivery, and catalysis. Furthermore, the distinctive characteristics of MOFs make them particularly adaptable for catalytic applications, positioning catalysis as a rapidly advancing interdisciplinary research domain.
