Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the alkoxylation of organic compounds comprising the reaction of at least one organic compound with at least one alkoxylating agent in the presence of a catalyst system, wherein a polyether alcohol is obtained. The catalyst system comprises a metallo organic framework mate-rial comprising pores and at least one metal ion and at least one at least bidentate organic compound, which is coordinately bounded to said metal ion. Furthermore it relates to polyurethanes or polyurethane foams, which are obtainable by using a prepared polyether alcohol as a starting material.

Abstract: An organometallic framework material is prepared by a process which comprises reacting a fluid mixture comprising a metal salt with at least one at least bidentate organic compound capable of coordination to metal ions in the presence of at least one base and a solvent, where the solvent comprises at least one cyclic amide (lactam) and/or at least one cyclic ester (lactone).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of iron-doped ruthenium catalysts supported on carbon, and their use for the selective liquid phase hydrogenation of carbonyl compounds to give the corresponding alcohols, in particular for the hydrogenation of citral to give geraniol or nerol or of citronellal to give citronellol.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the technical field of storing gas including methane and hydrogen, in particular to the fuel cell technology. In particulars it relates to a method of using a metallo-organic framework material comprising pores and at least one metal ion and at least one at least bidentate organic compound.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel class of shaped bodies containing metal-organic frameworks. Said metal-organic frameworks comprise at least one metal ion and at least one at least bidentate organic compound and contain at least one type of micro- and mesopores or micro- or mesopores. Said shaped bodies comprise at least one metal-organic framework material and may optionally contain further substances, in particular at least one supporting material.
