A Pyridinium-Pyridinium Zinc(II) Porphyrin Ion Porous Organic Polymer as Efficient Heterogeneous Catalyst for Cycloaddition of Epoxides with CO2

A zinc(II)porphyrin-based ion porous organic polymer (ZnTPyPBr₄-iPOP) is successfully synthesized from newly designed pyridinium-functionalized cationic Zn-porphyrin monomer (ZnTPyPBr₄) by free radical self-polymerization, and is employed as an efficient bifunctional heterogeneous catalyst for CO₂ cycloaddition reaction with epoxides. The ZnTPyPBr₄-iPOP exhibits excellent catalytic performance and good substrate expansion in CO₂ cycloaddition reaction under solvent-free and cocatalyst-free conditions with a TOF as high as 15,500 h⁻¹ for the cycloaddition of CO₂ and epichlorohydrin. The synergistic effect of zinc(II)porphyrin as the Lewis acidic site and the Br⁻ anion as the nucleophile in ZnTPyPBr₄-iPOP responds to the high catalytic activity. Moreover, ZnTPyPBr₄-iPOP can easily be recovered and reused at least seven times without the loss of activity. This work provides a valuable approach for the synthesis of novel and efficient heterogeneous catalyst for CO₂ cycloaddition.     

Synthesis of a Pyridine–Zinc‐Based Porous Organic Polymer for the Co‐catalyst‐Free Cycloaddition of Epoxides

The synthesis of solid catalysts for the co‐catalyst‐free cycloaddition of CO₂ has attracted much attention. Herein, we report a hierarchical porous organic polymer, Py‐Zn@MA, that is able to catalyze the cycloaddition reaction of epoxides and CO₂ without using any additives or co‐catalyst to afford turnover frequency (TOF) values as high as 250 and 97 h⁻¹ at 130 °C by using pure and diluted CO₂ (simulating flue gas), respectively. These results are superior to those obtained from previously reported heterogeneous co‐catalyst‐free systems. The high activity of Py‐Zn@MA is mainly attributed to its bifunctional nature with ZnBr₂ and pyridine activating the epoxide in a cooperative way. Notably, Py‐Zn@MA can be easily prepared on a large scale without using any catalyst and the chemicals are cost effective. Moreover, Py‐Zn@MA shows good substrate universality for the cycloaddition reactions of epoxides. Our designed porous organic polymer Py‐Zn@MA material has the potential to serve as an efficient catalyst for the direct conversion of flue gas with epoxides into value‐added cyclic carbonates.     

Chemical Fixation of CO2 and Other Heterogeneous Catalytic Studies by Employing a Layered Cu‐Porphyrin Prepared Through Single‐Crystal to Single‐Crystal Exchange of a Zn Analogue

A solvothermal reaction of Zn(NO₃)₂ ? 6 H₂O, tetra‐(4‐pyridyl)porphyrin (H₂TPyP), and 4,4′‐oxybis(benzoic acid) (H₂OBA) resulted in a new two‐dimensional Zn‐ porphyrin metal–organic framework compound, [Zn₂(C₄₀H₂₄N₈)_0.5(C₁₄H₈O₅)(DMA)](DMA)(H₂O)₆ ( 1 ; DMA=N,N‐dimethylacetamide). The Zn^II ions present in 1 could be exchanged by using a solution of Cu(NO₃)₂ ? 3 H₂O in DMA at room temperature to give [Cu₂(C₄₀H₂₄N₈)_0.5(C₁₄H₈O₅)(DMA)](DMA)(H₂O)₃ ( Cu∈1 ). The extra‐framework solvent molecules have been shown to be reversibly removed or exchanged without collapse of the framework. Solvent‐free Cu∈1 was explored as an active heterogeneous catalyst towards three different organic reactions: 1) the chemical fixation of CO₂ into cyclic carbonate at room temperature and 1 atm; 2) the nitroaldol reaction under solvent‐free conditions, and 3) the three‐component coupling of aminopyridine, benzaldehyde, and aryl alkynes followed by 5‐exo‐dig cyclization to produce the important pharmacophore imidazopyridine.     

Co‐Catalyst‐Free Chemical Fixation of CO2 into Cyclic Carbonates by using Metal‐Organic Frameworks as Efficient Heterogeneous Catalysts

The concentration of carbon dioxide (CO₂) in the atmosphere is increasing at an alarming rate resulting in undesirable environmental issues. To mitigate this growing concentration of CO₂, selective carbon capture and storage/sequestration (CCS) are being investigated intensively. However, CCS technology is considered as an expensive and energy‐intensive process. In this context, selective carbon capture and utilization (CCU) as a C1 feedstock to synthesize value‐added chemicals and fuels is a promising step towards lowering the concentration of the atmospheric CO₂ and for the production of high‐value chemicals. Towards this direction, several strategies have been developed to convert CO₂, a Greenhouse gas (GHG) into useful chemicals by forming C?N, C?O, C?C, and C?H bonds. Among the various CO₂ functionalization processes known, the cycloaddition of CO₂ to epoxides has gained considerable interest owing to its 100% atom‐economic nature producing cyclic carbonates or polycarbonates in high yield and selectivity. Among the various classes of catalysts studied for cycloaddition of CO₂ to cyclic carbonates, porous metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) have gained a special interest due to their modular nature facilitating the introduction of a high density of Lewis acidic (LA) and CO₂‐philic Lewis basic (LB) functionalities. However, most of the MOF‐based catalysts reported for cycloaddition of CO₂ to respective cyclic carbonates in high yields require additional co‐catalyst, say tetra‐n‐butylammonium bromide (TBAB). On the contrary, the co‐catalyst‐free conversion of CO₂ using rationally designed MOFs composed of both LA and LB sites is relatively less studied. In this review, we provide a comprehensive account of the research progress in the design of MOF based catalysts for environment‐friendly, co‐catalyst‐free fixation of CO₂ into cyclic carbonates.     

Highly Porous Metalloporphyrin Covalent Ionic Frameworks with Well-Defined Cooperative Functional Groups as Excellent Catalysts for CO2 Cycloaddition

The development of multifunctional heterogeneous catalysts with high porosity and remarkable catalytic activity still remains a challenge. Herein, four highly porous metalloporphyrin covalent ionic frameworks (CIFs) were synthesized by coupling 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-nitrophenyl)porphyrin (TNPP) with 3,8-diamino-6-phenylphenanithridine (NPPN) or 5,5′-diamino-2,2′-bipyridine (NBPy) followed by ionization with bromoethane (C₂H₅Br) or dibromoethane (C₂H₄Br₂) and then metalization with Zn or Co. The resulting CIFs showed high efficiency in catalyzing the cycloaddition of propylene oxide (PO) with CO₂ to form propylene carbonate (PC). All of the Zn-containing CIF catalysts were able to catalyze the cycloaddition reaction with a PC yield greater than 97 %. The TNPP/NBPy (CIF2) catalyst ionized with C₂H₄Br₂ and metalized with Zn (Zn-CIF2-C₂H₄) exhibited the highest catalytic activity among the synthesized catalysts. The high catalytic performance of Zn-CIF2-C₂H₄ is related to its high porosity (577 m² g⁻¹), high Br:metal ratio (1:3.89), and excellent synergistic action between the Lewis acidic Zn sites and the nucleophilic Br⁻ ions. Zn-CIF2-C₂H₄ is sufficiently stable that greater than 94 % PC yield could be obtained even after six cycles. In addition, Zn-CIF2-C₂H₄ could catalyze the cycloaddition of several other epoxides with CO₂. These highly porous materials are promising multifunctional and efficient catalysts for industrially relevant reactions.     

[Zn4O] Cluster‐Based Metal‐Organic Frameworks as Catalysts for Conversion of CO2

One unique two‐dimensional (2D) Zn‐MOF {Na[Zn_1.5(μ₄‐O)(L)]}_n ( 1 ) was synthesized under hydrothermal conditions and characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. Four Zn atoms are bridged through μ₄‐O to form [Zn₄O] clusters, which are further linked to form a 2D layer network through sharing Zn as vertexes. 1 exhibits high thermal stability up to 280 °C and keeps stable in common solvents and water solutions with pH ranging from 1 to 13. The catalytic studies reveal that compound 1 exhibits excellent catalytic activity for cycloaddition of CO₂ with epoxides into cyclic carbonates under mild conditions. Furthermore, 1 demonstrates good generality in CO₂ coupling reaction with extensive epoxides. Importantly, 1 can be reused for at least five times without significant reduction in catalytic ability.     

Pyridinium-functionalized metalloporphyrins as bifunctional catalysts for cycloaddition of epoxides and carbon dioxide

New pyridinium-functionalized metalloporphyrins MEtPpBr₄ (M = Zn²⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Cu²⁺; EtPp = 5, 10, 15, 20-tetra(4-(3-(N-ethyl-4-pyridyl)pyrazolyl)phenyl)porphyrin) were synthesized as bifunctional catalysts for the cycloaddition reactions of epoxides and CO₂. The effects of catalyst loading, CO₂ pressure, reaction temperature and time on catalytic activity were investigated. ZnEtPpBr₄ ( 1 ) and CoEtPpBr₄ ( 2 ) exhibited efficient activities in the cycloaddition reactions of various epoxides with CO₂ as at 120 °C under 2 MPa of CO₂ pressure without solvent. Most of corresponding cyclic carbonates could be obtained in almost quantitative yields and > 99.9% selectivity with molar ratio of epoxide/catalyst 2222 after 8 hr of reaction.     

Metal–Organic Gel Material Based on UiO‐66‐NH2 Nanoparticles for Improved Adsorption and Conversion of Carbon Dioxide

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) including the UiO‐66 series show potential application in the adsorption and conversion of CO₂. Herein, we report the first tetravalent metal‐based metal–organic gels constructed from Zr^IV and 2‐aminoterephthalic acid (H₂BDC‐NH₂). The ZrBDC‐NH₂ gel materials are based on UiO‐66‐NH₂ nanoparticles and were easily prepared under mild conditions (80 °C for 4.5 h). The ZrBDC‐NH₂‐1:1‐0.2 gel material has a high surface area (up to 1040 m² g^?1) and showed outstanding performance in CO₂ adsorption (by using the dried material) and conversion (by using the wet gel) arising from the combined advantages of the gel and the UiO‐66‐NH₂ MOF. The ZrBDC‐NH₂‐1:1‐0.2 dried material showed 38 % higher capture capacity for CO₂ at 298 K than microcrystalline UiO‐66‐NH₂. It showed high ideal adsorbed solution theory selectivity (71.6 at 298 K) for a CO₂/N₂ gas mixture (molar ratio 15:85). Furthermore, the ZrBDC‐NH₂‐1:1‐0.2 gel showed activity as a heterogeneous catalyst in the chemical fixation of CO₂ and an excellent catalytic performance was achieved for the cycloaddition of atmospheric pressure of CO₂ to epoxides at 373 K. In addition, the gel catalyst could be reused over multiple cycles with no considerable loss of catalytic activity.     

Mechanism of the Cycloaddition of Carbon Dioxide and Epoxides Catalyzed by Cobalt‐Substituted 12‐Tungstenphosphate

Co^II‐substituted α‐Keggin‐type 12‐tungstenphosphate [(n‐ C₄H₉)₄N]₄H[PW₁₁Co(H₂O)O₃₉]‐ (PW₁₁Co) is synthesized and used as a single‐component, solvent‐free catalyst in the cycloaddition reaction of CO₂ and epoxides to form cyclic carbonates. The mechanism of the cycloaddition reaction is investigated using DFT calculations, which provides the first computational study of the catalytic cycle of polyoxometalate‐catalyzed CO₂ coupling reactions. The reaction occurs through a single‐electron transfer from the doublet Co^II catalyst to the epoxide and forms a doublet Co^III–carbon radical intermediate. Subsequent CO₂ addition forms the cyclic carbonate product. The existence of radical intermediates is supported by free‐radical termination experiments. Finally, it is exhilarating to observe that the calculated overall reaction barrier (30.5 kcal mol^?1) is in good agreement with the real reaction rate (83 h^?1) determined in the present experiments (at 150 °C).

Study of factors influencing the fabrication of Co‐porphyrin porous coordination polymer via metal–organic gel intermediate

In this work, 5, 10, 15, 20‐Tetra‐(4‐aminophenyl) porphyrin (TAPP) was used as gelator to prepare metal‐porphyrin porous coordination polymer (PCP) via solvothermal process, Soxhlet extraction and supercritical CO₂ extraction. Firstly, the metal‐porphyrin organic gel (MOG) was prepared as intermediate with solvothermal method. The generation of gels is associated with many factors. When four acetates [Co(Ac)₂?4H₂O, Zn(Ac)₂?2H₂O, Mn(Ac)₂?4H₂O and Ni(Ac)₂?7H₂O] reacted with TAPP, only the reaction between Co(Ac)₂?4H₂O and TAPP could form desired metal‐porphyrin organic gel. The influences of solvent, concentration and anions were investigated in the gelation process. Secondly, the residual reactants and solvent molecules in MOG were removed through Soxhlet extraction and supercritical CO₂ extraction. The Co‐PCP is an amorphous material with a hierarchical porous structure can effectively catalyze the oxidation of ethylbenzene and also exhibits a strong adsorptive capacity for the strong‐polar solvent molecules.     

Oxygenation of saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons with sodium periodate catalyzed by manganese(III) tetra-arylporphyrins, to study the axial ligation of imidazole

Competitive oxygenation of cyclooctene and tetralin with sodium periodate catalyzed by Mn^(III)(TPP)OAc, TPP = meso-tetraphenylporphyrin; Mn^(III) (TNP)OAc, TNP =meso-tetrakis(1-naphthyl) porphyrin; Mn^(III) (TMP)OAc, TMP =meso-tetrakis(2,4,6-trimethyl-phenyl)porphyrin; Mn^(III) (TDCPP)OAc, TDCPP =meso-tetrakis(2,6-dichlorophenyl) porphyrin, and Mn^(III) (TPNMe₂-TFPP)OAc, TPNMe₂-TFPP =meso-tetrakis(para-NMe₂-tetrafluorophenyl)porphyrin, was carried out in the presence or absence of imidazole. This study showed that, in the absence of imidazole, selectivity for epoxide formation was high with electron-rich catalysts such as Mn(TPP)OAc, Mn(TNP)OAc and Mn(TMP)OAc, but low with electron-deficient catalysts such as Mn(TDCPP)OAc and Mn(TPNMe₂-TFPP)OAc. Presumably, not only the axial ligation of imidazole to the four-coordinate Mn(III)-center, but also the steric and electronic influences of aryl-substituents on the porphyrin periphery affect the selectivity of the catalytic oxidation reaction.     

Synthesis,Crystal Structure,and Properties of the 3D Porous Framework [Zn(INAIP)]·DMA·H2O

A new three‐dimensional (3D) porous framework [Zn(INAIP)] · DMA · H₂O ( 1 ) [INAIP = 5‐(isonicotinamido)isophthalate, DMA = N,N′‐dimethylacetamide] was synthesized by solvothermal methods and characterized by single‐crystal and powder X‐ray diffraction, as well as thermogravimetric analysis. The results of X‐ray diffraction analyses revealed that complex 1 has an unusual 3D architecture with the (3,6)‐connected rutile ( rtl ) topology. The adsorption behavior shows that compound 1 exhibits selective adsorptions of CO₂ over N₂ after the removal of the solvent molecules within the pores.     

Efficient fixation of CO2 at mild conditions by a Cr-conjugated microporous polymer

We reported a bifunctional material, Cr-salen implanted conjugated microporous polymer (Cr-CMP), which is able to capture excellent CO₂ amounts and has a remarkable catalytic activity towards the cycloaddition reaction of CO₂ to epoxides forming cyclic carbonates at mild conditions without additional solvents. This heterogeneous Cr-CMP catalyst has a superior catalytic activity to its related homogeneous catalyst and can be reused more than ten times without a significant decrease in catalytic activity.     

Highly Efficient C?H Oxidative Activation by a Porous MnIII–Porphyrin Metal–Organic Framework under Mild Conditions

A simple strategy to rationally immobilize metalloporphyrin sites into porous mixed‐metal–organic framework (M′MOF) materials by a metalloligand approach has been developed to mimic cytochrome P450 monooxygenases in a biological system. The synthesized porous M′MOF of [Zn₂(MnOH–TCPP)(DPNI)] ? 0.5 DMF ? EtOH ? 5.5 H₂O ( CZJ‐1 ; CZJ=Chemistry Department of Zhejiang University; TCPP=tetrakis(4‐carboxyphenyl)porphyrin); DPNI=N,N′‐di(4‐pyridyl)‐1,4,5,8‐naphthalenetetracarboxydiimide) has the type of doubly interpenetrated cubic α‐Po topology in which the basic Zn₂(COO)₄ paddle‐wheel clusters are bridged by metalloporphyrin to form two‐dimensional sheets that are further bridged by the organic pillar linker DPNI to form a three‐dimensional porous structure. The porosity of CZJ‐1 has been established by both crystallographic studies and gas‐sorption isotherms. CZJ‐1 exhibits significantly high catalytic oxidation of cyclohexane with conversion of 94 % to the mixture of cyclohexanone (K) and cyclohexanol (A) (so‐called K–A oil) at room temperature. We also provided solid experimental evidence to verify the catalytic reaction that occurred in the pores of the M′MOF catalyst.     

Metal‐Ion Metathesis and Properties of Triarylboron‐Functionalized Metal–Organic Frameworks

An anionic metal–organic framework, H₃[(Mn₄Cl)₃ L ₈]?30 H₂O?2.5 DMF?5 Diox ( UPC‐15 ), was successfully prepared by the reaction of MnCl₂ with tris(p‐carboxylic acid)tridurylborane (H₃ L ) under solvothermal conditions. UPC‐15 with wide‐open pores (～18.8 Å) is constructed by packing of octahedral and cuboctahedral cages, and exhibits high gas‐sorption capabilities. Notably, UPC‐15 shows selective adsorption of cationic dyes due to the anion framework. Moreover, the catalytic and magnetic properties were investigated, and UPC‐15 can highly catalyze the cyanosilylation of aromatic aldehydes. UPC‐15 exhibits the exchange of metal ions from Mn to Cu in a single‐crystal‐to‐single‐crystal manner to generate UPC‐16 , which could not be obtained by the direct solvothermal reaction of CuCl₂ and H₃ L. UPC‐16 exhibits similar properties for gas sorption, dye separation, and catalytic activity. However, the magnetic behaviors for UPC‐15 and UPC‐16 are distinct due to the metal‐specific properties. Below 47 K, UPC‐15 exhibits a ferromagnetic coupling but UPC‐16 shows a dominant antiferromagnetic behavior.     

Robust and efficient amide-based nonheme manganese(III) hydrocarbon oxidation catalysts: substrate and solvent effects on involvement and partition of multiple active oxidants

Two new mononuclear nonheme manganese(III) complexes of tetradentate ligands containing two deprotonated amide moieties, [Mn(bpc)Cl(H₂O)] ( 1 ) and [Mn(Me₂bpb)Cl(H₂O)] ? CH₃OH ( 2 ), were prepared and characterized. Complex 2 has also been characterized by X‐ray crystallography. Magnetic measurements revealed that the complexes are high spin (S=5/2) Mn^III species with typical magnetic moments of 4.76 and 4.95 μ_B, respectively. These nonheme Mn^III complexes efficiently catalyzed olefin epoxidation and alcohol oxidation upon treatment with MCPBA under mild experimental conditions. Olefin epoxidation by these catalysts is proposed to involve the multiple active oxidants Mn^V?O, Mn^IV?O, and Mn^III? OO(O)CR. Evidence for this approach was derived from reactivity and Hammett studies, KIE (k_H/k_D) values, H₂¹⁸O‐exchange experiments, and the use of peroxyphenylacetic acid as a mechanistic probe. In addition, it has been proposed that the participation of Mn^V?O, Mn^IV?O, and Mn^III? OOR could be controlled by changing the substrate concentration, and that partitioning between heterolysis and homolysis of the O? O bond of a Mn‐acylperoxo intermediate (Mn? OOC(O)R) might be significantly affected by the nature of solvent, and that the O? O bond of the Mn? OOC(O)R might proceed predominantly by heterolytic cleavage in protic solvent. Therefore, a discrete Mn^V?O intermediate appeared to be the dominant reactive species in protic solvents. Furthermore, we have observed close similarities between these nonheme Mn^III complex systems and Mn(saloph) catalysts previously reported, suggesting that this simultaneous operation of the three active oxidants might prevail in all the manganese‐catalyzed olefin epoxidations, including Mn(salen), Mn(nonheme), and even Mn(porphyrin) complexes. This mechanism provides the greatest congruity with related oxidation reactions by using certain Mn complexes as catalysts.     

Silica‐Bound 3‐{2‐[Poly(ethylene Glycol)]ethyl}‐Substituted 1‐Methyl‐1H‐imidazol‐3‐ium Bromide: A Recoverable Phase‐Transfer Catalyst for Smooth and Regioselective Conversion of Oxiranes to β‐Hydroxynitriles in Water

A series of β‐hydroxynitriles were efficiently synthesized from the regioselective ring opening of oxiranes by cyanide anion in the presence of silica‐bound 3‐{2‐[poly(ethylene glycol)]ethyl}‐substituted 1‐methyl‐1H‐imidazol‐3‐ium bromide (SiO₂? PEG? ImBr) as a novel recoverable phase‐transfer catalyst in H₂O (Scheme 1 and Table 2). The workup procedure was straightforward, and the catalyst could be reused over four times with almost no loss of catalytic activity and selectivity.     

Catalytic Oxidation of Methane to C2‐C4 Hydrocarbons over CeO2 Promoted W‐Mn/SiO2 Catalysts at Higher Pressure

CeO₂‐promoted Na‐Mn‐W/SiO₂ catalyst has been studied for catalytic oxidation of methane in a micro‐stainless‐steel reactor at elevated pressure. The effect of operating conditions, such as GHSV, pressure and CH₄/O₂ ratio, has been investigated. 22.0% CH₄ conversion with 73.8% C₂‐C₄ selectivity (C₂/C₃/C₄ = 3.8/1.0/3.6) was obtained at 1003 K, 1.5 × 10⁵ h^?;1 GHSV and 1.0 MPa. The results show: Elevated pressure disadvantages the catalytic oxidation of methane to C₂‐C₄ hydrocarbons. Large amounts of C₃ and C₄ hydrocarbons are observed. The unfavorable effects of elevated pressure can be overcome by increasing GHSV; the reaction is strongly dependent on the operating conditions at elevated pressure, particularly dependent on GHSV and ratio of CH₄/O₂. Analyses by means of XRD, XPS and CO₂‐TPD show that CO₂ produced from the reaction makes a weakly poisoning capacity of the catalyst; information of changeful valence on Ce and Mn was detected over the near‐surface of the Ce‐Na‐W‐Mn/SiO₂ catalyst; the existence of Ce³⁺/Ce⁴⁺ and Mn²⁺/Mn³⁺ ion couple supported that the reaction over the catalyst followed the Redeal‐Redox mechanism. Oxidative re‐coupling of C₂H₆ and CH₄ in gas phase or over surface of catalyst produces C₃ or C₄ hydrocarbons.     

Catalytic Conversion of CO2 to Cyclic Carbonates through Multifunctional Zinc‐Modified ZSM‐5 Zeolite

The production of fine chemicals using CO₂ as C₁ building block through inexpensive heterogeneous catalysts with high efficiency under low pressure is challenging. Herein we propose for the first time the utilization of a multifunctional heterogeneous zinc‐modified HZSM‐5 (ZnHZSM‐5) catalyst for upgrading CO₂ by incorporation into cyclic carbonates from CO₂ and epoxides. Owing to the nice surface properties such as abundant Lewis acid, Brønsted acid and Lewis base sites, large surface area, and plenty of micropores, CO₂ could be concentrated and well activated in ZnHZSM‐5 verified by CO₂‐TPD, TG‐MS, etc. Meanwhile, the epoxides were also activated through metal center and hydrogen bond. Therefore, the reaction can easily assemble at the catalyst interface and show exceptional performance, affording the aimed products with high yield of up to 99% in the presence of commercial tetra‐n‐propylammonium bromide (90% in kilogram scale with 0.004 mol% ZnHZSM‐5 and 0.015 mol% ⁿPr₄NBr).
