  1. aConv. = olefins conversion; Oxo yield = yield of oxo products. B/L and conversion were calculated using GC-FID with p-cymene as external standard. Oxo products yield was calculated by combining the mass of the raw product after reaction and the purity determined by GC-FID (see Supplementary Information). The oxo products were identified as aldehydes (Supplementary Table 10) and aldol condensation products.
  2. bCo2(CO)8 (1.5 mol%) were dissolved in olefin (500 µL) and the MOF was added. The mixture was brought to 30 bar and then heated to 100 °C for 17 h.
  3. cmolMOF/molCo = 0.4.
  4. dmolMOF/molCo = 3.3.
  5. e1:2:3 ratio (homogeneous and MixUMCM-1-NH2) = 3:1:0. 1:2 ratio (MOF-74(Zn)) = 2:1:0.

  10. jEleven per cent of hydrogenated olefin was detected by GC-FID and GC-MS.
  11. kTen per cent of hydrogenated olefin was detected by GC-FID and GC-MS.
  12. lFive per cent of hydrogenated olefin was detected by GC-FID and GC-MS.
