Density functional theory calculations were employed to investigate hydroperoxide decomposition reactions over metal sites within metal-organic frameworks.  Results imply that periodic copper and cobalt sites are not catalytically active, while undercoordinated metal sites on the surface could catalyze these reactions of interest.
