摘要
UiO-66-NH_(2),an important metal-organic framework,is usually synthesized by solvothermal method and the particle size is generally larger than 200 nm,which limits its catalytic applications in chemical reactions.It is very meaningful to produce UiO-66-NH_(2) nanoparticles with ultrasmall size,but remains challenging.Herein,we synthesized UiO-66-NH_(2) nanoparticles in size of 8-15 nm that are immobilized on g-C_(3)N_(4)nanosheets.Compared with the UiO-66-NH_(2) synthesized by the traditional solvothermal method(>200 nm),the ultra-small UiO-66-NH_(2) nanoparticles immobilized on g-C_(3)N_(4)have more unsaturated coordination positions and increased Lewis acidity.Owing to these combined advantages,the ultra-small UiO-66-NH_(2)nanoparticles exhibit greatly improved catalytic activity for Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley reaction than larger UiO-66-NH_(2)particles.
