Gold nanoparticles (NPs) were deposited to a zeolite-type metal−organic framework (MOF) by a simple solid grinding method. A catalyst, Au@ZIF-8, represents the first example of an active catalyst in CO oxidation by using a MOF as a novel support for noble metal NPs. The catalytic activity for CO oxidation is improved along with increasing Au loadings, and the highest catalytic activity is obtained for 5.0 wt % Au@ZIF-8, which presents half conversion of CO at 170 °C. Gold NPs are close to being monodisperse and have no aggregation during catalytic reaction, and the catalytic activity is reproducible.
