Abstract

<b>UiO-66</b>, <b>MOF-808</b> and <b>NU-1000</b> metal-organic frameworks exhibit a differentiated reactivity toward [Mg(OMe)<sub>2</sub>(MeOH)<sub>2</sub>]<sub>4</sub> related to their pore accessibility. Microporous <b>UiO-66</b> remains unchanged while mesoporous <b>MOF-808</b> and hierarchical micro/mesoporous <b>NU-1000</b> materials yield doped systems containing exposed MgZr<sub>5</sub>O<sub>2</sub>(OH)<sub>6</sub> clusters in the mesoporous cavities. This modification is responsible for a remarkable enhancement of the catalytic activity toward the hydrolytic degradation of P-F and P-S bonds of toxic nerve agents, at room temperature, in unbuffered aqueous solutions.
