title: Room-temperature acetylene hydration by a Hg(II)-laced metal-organic framework.
abstract: Thiol (-SH) groups within a Zr(IV)-based metal-organic framework (MOF) anchor Hg(II) atoms; oxidation by H2O2 then leads to acidic sulfonate functions for catalyzing acetylene hydration at room temperature.
