Synthesis, structural characterization and selectively catalytic properties of metal-organic frameworks with nano-sized channels: A modular design strategy

Modular design method for designing and synthesizing microporous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with selective catalytical activity was described. MOFs with both nano-sized channels and potential catalytic activities could be obtained through self-assembly of a framework unit and a catalyst unit. By selecting hexaaquo metal complexes and the ligand BTC (BTC=1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate) as framework-building blocks and using the metal complex [M(phen)₂(H₂O)₂]²⁺ (phen=1,10-phenanthroline) as a catalyst unit, a series of supramolecular MOFs 1-7 with three-dimensional nano-sized channels, i.e. [M¹(H₂O)₆]·[M²(phen)₂(H₂O)₂]₂·2(BTC)·xH₂O (M¹, M²Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), or Mn(II), phen=1,10-phenanthroline, BTC=1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate, x=22−24), were synthesized through self-assembly, and their structures were characterized by IR, elemental analysis, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. These supramolecular microporous MOFs showed significant size and shape selectivity in the catalyzed oxidation of phenols, which is due to catalytic reactions taking place in the channels of the framework. Design strategy, synthesis, and self-assembly mechanism for the construction of these porous MOFs were discussed.

Effect of organic linker substituent on catalytic activity of UiO-66 metal-organic framework in selective oxidation of propylene glycol: homolytic versus heterolytic activation of hydrogen peroxide

A family of isoreticular metal-organic frameworks, based on the UiO-66 structure with NH₂-, OH-, HSO₃-, and NO₂-substituted terephthalic acid, are synthesized and tested as catalysts in liquid-phase oxidation of propylene glycol (PG) with hydrogen peroxide and compared with the catalytic performances of unsubstituted UiO-66. The obtained materials are characterized by X-ray diffraction, FT-IR, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (¹H NMR), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) of adsorbed CO and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) methods. Hydroxyacetone (HA) is the main product over all X-UiO-66 catalysts under the reaction conditions used. The nature of substituent drastically affects the PG conversion and the oxidant utilization efficiency. The presence of electron-withdrawing groups in the organic linker leads to preferential heterotic activation of H₂O₂, whereas the increase of electron density around Zr active sites, promoted by electron-donating groups, enhances the unproductive homolytic oxidant decomposition. The insertion of NO₂ group results in almost double increase in the HA yield (15.5 vs. 8.8%) and hydrogen peroxide utilization efficiency (98 vs. 36%) in comparison with the reaction catalyzed by H-UiO-66. The NO₂-UiO-66 can be recycled without the loss of the catalytic activity and preserves its structure after the catalytic cycle.     

Recent developments in the adsorptive removal of heavy metal ions using metal-organic frameworks and graphene-based adsorbents

Clean and potable water is a growing concern around the globe. Among the different water pollutants, heavy metal ions pose a serious health concern to all living beings. The quest for new adsorbents to remove heavy metal ions received a boost with the development in the field of metal-organic framework (MOF). The advancement in synthetic strategies and designing of MOF enabled the researchers to tune the adsorption characteristics and tailor the material specific to a heavy metal ion. Similar to MOF, graphene-based two-dimensional and three-dimensional materials are also promising due to the diverse functionalization possibilities and cost-effectiveness. There had been growing interest in applying MOF and graphene-based materials for the removal of heavy metal ions in the past decade. This review summarizes these developments in detail.     

Chiral ansa-bridged η-cyclopentadienyl molybdenum complexes: Synthesis, structure and application in asymmetric olefin epoxidation

Ansa-bridged η⁵-cyclopentadienyl carbonyl molybdenum complexes were synthesized with stereogenic centers located in the side chain. An exemplary X-ray crystal structure and the catalytic activity for asymmetric olefin epoxidation are reported. In non-chiral epoxidation the compounds show a good catalytic activity, comparable to activities observed for the related non-chiral complexes of composition CpMo(CO)₃X (X = Cl, CH₃). For the asymmetric epoxidation of trans-β-methylstyrene the chiral induction is up to ca. 20%. The high ring strain of the ansa-bridged system hampers, unfortunately, its stability under oxidative condition.
