Dimensional Reduction ofEu‐Based Metal‐OrganicFramework as Catalysts for Oxidation Catalysis of C(sp³)–H Bond

Abstract

Developing new catalysts for highly selectivity and conversion of saturated C(sp 3 )-H bonds is of great significance. In order to obtain catalysts with high catalytic performance, six Eu-based MOFs with different structural characteristics were obtained by using europium ions and different organic acid ligands, namely Eu-1~Eu-6. Eu-1, Eu-2 and Eu-3 featured three-dimensional structures, while Eu-4 and Eu-5 featured two-dimensional structures. Differently, a one-dimensional chain structure of Eu-6 was obtained by changing the ligand. All the six MOFs were applied to the catalytic reaction of C(sp 3 )-H bond, and it was found that the catalytic effect was gradually enhanced with the decrease of dimension and the increase of the size of channels. As expected, Eu-6 showed the highest selectivity (~99%) and conversion (~99%). Moreover, catalytic cycling and stability tests showed Eu-6 can be a reliable catalyst.
