Three-Dimensional Co(II)-Metal–Organic Frameworks
with Varying Porosities and Open Metal Sites toward Multipurpose Heterogeneous
Catalysis under Mild Conditions
Posted on 2019-08-22 - 20:49
In
recent years, heterogeneous catalysis has become one of the
most active domains in the research of metal–organic frameworks
(MOFs). Here, two three-dimensional (3D) Co(II)-MOFs with open metal
sites and exposed azo functionality on the MOF backbone have been
constructed via mixed ligand assembly. Both the MOFs, 1 {[Co2(1,4-NDC)2(L)(H2O)2(μ2-H2O)]·(DMF)2(H2O)}n and 2 {[Co(fma)(L)(H2O)2]·S}n [1,4-NDC = 1,4-naphthalene dicarboxylic acid, fma
= fumaric acid, L = 3,3′-azobis pyridine and S = disordered
solvents] exhibit 3D frameworks with metal-bound aqua ligands. These
metal-bound aqua ligands, as well as the lattice solvent molecules,
could simply be removed upon activation affording the desolvated frameworks 1a and 2a respectively maintaining the original
crystallinity with a varying number of open metal sites. Although
crystallographic analysis revealed a porous structure for both the
MOFs (34.4% and 14.3% void volume for 1 and 2, respectively), 1 showed a permanently microporous
nature with a Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface area of
197 m2 g–1 and moderate CO2 uptake capacity as established through a gas sorption study. Both
MOFs exhibit efficient catalytic activity for the chemical fixation
of CO2 to cyclic carbonate in the presence of a cocatalyst,
cyanosilylation reaction, and Knoevenagel condensation under solvent-free
and mild conditions and thus demonstrating their multipurpose heterogeneous
catalytic nature. The limited pore space decorated with the exposed
metal sites and the functional azo groups were efficient for size-selective
heterogeneous catalysis with varying catalytic efficiencies. A systematic
comparison in their catalytic performances could be made with the
establishment of a structure–function relationship. Besides,
both MOFs can easily be separated out from the reaction mixtures and
reused for at least four cycles without any loss of catalytic activity
and structural integrity.
