The reaction of cobalt （II） nitrate and 1,3,5-benzenetriearboxylic （BTC） acid in a mixed solution of N,N-dimethylformarnide （DMF）/C2H5OH/H2O （1：1：1, v/v） at low temperature for short reaction times produced this crystalline compound. Compared with traditional hydrothermal method, a mixed solution method for the synthesis of crystalline metal complex was found to be highly efficient. After water molecules were removed from this metal complex, its exposed nodes served as active sites. When this MOF-Co was employed in the oxidation of CO, it showed good catalytic properties causing 100% conversion of CO to CO2 at low temperature of 160 ℃.展开更多

文摘The Zr(Ⅳ)ions are easily hydrolyzed to form oxides,which severely limits the discovery of new structures and applications of Zr-based compounds.In this work,three ferrocene(Fc)-functionalized Zr-oxo clusters(ZrOCs),Zr_(9)Fc_(6),Zr_(10)Fc_(6) and Zr_(12)Fc_(8) were synthesized through inhibiting the hydrolysis of Zr(Ⅳ)ions,which show increased nuclearity and regular structural variation.More importantly,these Fc-functionalized ZrOCs were used as heterogeneous catalysts for the transfer hydrogenation of levulinic acid(LA)and phenol oxidation reactions for the first time,and displayed outstanding catalytic activity.In particular,Zr_(12)Fc_(8) with the largest number of Zr active sites and Fc groups can achieve>95% yield for LAto-c-valerolactone within 4 h(130℃)and>98% yield for 2,3,6-trimethylphenol-to-2,3,5-trimethyl-pbenzoquinone within 30 min(80℃),showing the best catalytic performance.Catalytic characterization combined with theory calculations reveal that in the Fc-functionalized ZrOCs,the Zr active sites could serve as substrate adsorption sites,while the Fc groups could act as hydrogen transfer reagent or Fenton reagent,and thus achieve effectively intramolecular metal-ligand synergistic catalysis.This work develops functionalized ZrOCs as catalysts for thermal-triggered redox reactions.
