A novel series of two zirconium- and one indium-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), namely, MOF-892, MOF-893, and MOF-894, constructed from the hexatopic linker, 1',2',3',4',5',6'-hexakis(4-carboxyphenyl)benzene, were synthesized and fully characterized. MOF-892 and MOF-893 are two new exemplars of materials with topologies previously unseen in the important family of zirconium MOFs. MOF-892, MOF-893, and MOF-894 exhibit efficient heterogeneous catalytic activity for the cycloaddition of CO, resulting in a cyclic organic carbonate formation with high conversion, selectivity, and yield under mild conditions (1 atm CO, 80 °C, and solvent-free). Because of the structural features provided by their building units, MOF-892 and MOF-893 are replete with accessible Lewis and Brønsted acid sites located at the metal clusters and the non-coordinating carboxylic groups of the linkers, respectively, which is found to promote the catalytic CO cycloaddition reaction. As a proof-of-concept, MOF-892 exhibits high catalytic activity in the one-pot synthesis of styrene carbonate from styrene and CO without preliminary synthesis and isolation of styrene oxide.
一种新型的锆基和铟基金属有机骨架(MOF)系列,即 MOF-892、MOF-893 和 MOF-894,由六连接体 1',2',3',4',5',6'-六(4-羧基苯基)苯合成,并进行了全面的表征。MOF-892 和 MOF-893 是两种具有拓扑结构的新型材料,在重要的锆基 MOF 家族中以前没有见过。MOF-892、MOF-893 和 MOF-894 在温和条件下(1atmCO、80°C 和无溶剂)对 CO 的环加成反应具有高效的多相催化活性,导致高转化率、选择性和产率的环状碳酸酯形成。由于其构筑单元提供的结构特征,MOF-892 和 MOF-893 分别充满了位于金属簇和连接体的非配位羧酸基团上的可及路易斯和布朗斯台德酸位,这被发现促进了催化 CO 环加成反应。作为一个概念验证,MOF-892 在无需预先合成和分离环氧苯乙烯的情况下,从苯乙烯和 CO 一锅法合成苯乙烯碳酸酯中表现出高催化活性。
