“…In recent years, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have induced a great interest owing to their prospective applications in gas separation and storage, molecular recognition, drug delivery, and heterogeneous catalysis. − Zr-containing MOFs turned out to be active and recyclable catalysts for oxidative transformations using H 2 O 2 as an oxidant. − Recently, some of us have discovered a notable effect of acid additives on the selectivity of alkene oxidation with H 2 O 2 catalyzed by Zr-based MOFs. , It was shown that protons favor heterolytic activation of the oxidant and suppress its unproductive decomposition over Zr-MOFs, leading to the epoxidation of the CC bond and avoiding allylic oxidation of C–H bonds. However, the structure of the active peroxo zirconium intermediates operating in Zr-MOFs remained unclear.…”

Zr-monosubstituted Lindqvist-type polyoxometalates (Zr-POMs), (Bu 4 N) 2 [W 5 O 18 Zr(H 2 O) 3 ] (1) and (Bu 4 N) 6 [{W 5 O 18 Zr(μ-OH)} 2 ] (2), have been employed as molecular models to unravel the mechanism of hydrogen peroxide activation over Zr(IV) sites. Compounds 1 and 2 are hydrolytically stable and catalyze the epoxidation of CC bonds in unfunctionalized alkenes and α,β-unsaturated ketones, as well as sulfoxidation of thioethers. Monomer 1 is more active than dimer 2. Acid additives greatly accelerate the oxygenation reactions and increase oxidant utilization efficiency up to >99%. Product distributions are indicative of a heterolytic oxygen transfer mechanism that involves electrophilic oxidizing species formed upon the interaction of Zr-POM and H 2 O 2 . The interaction of 1 and 2 with H 2 O 2 and the resulting peroxo derivatives have been investigated by UV−vis, FTIR, Raman spectroscopy, HR-ESI-MS, and combined HPLC-ICPatomic emission spectroscopy techniques. The interaction between an 17 O-enriched dimer, (Bu 4 N) 6 [{W 5 O 18 Zr(μ-OCH 3 )} 2 ] (2′), and H 2 O 2 was also analyzed by 17 O NMR spectroscopy. Combining these experimental studies with DFT calculations suggested the existence of dimeric peroxo species [(μ-η 2 :η 2 -O 2 ){ZrW 5 O 18 } 2 ] 6− as well as monomeric Zr-hydroperoxo [W 5 O 18 Zr(η 2 -OOH)] 3− and Zr-peroxo [HW 5 O 18 Zr(η 2 - O 2 )] 3− species. Reactivity studies revealed that the dimeric peroxo is inert toward alkenes but is able to transfer oxygen atoms to thioethers, while the monomeric peroxo intermediate is capable of epoxidizing CC bonds. DFT analysis of the reaction mechanism identifies the monomeric Zr-hydroperoxo intermediate as the real epoxidizing species and the corresponding α-oxygen transfer to the substrate as the rate-determining step. The calculations also showed that protonation of Zr-POM significantly reduces the free-energy barrier of the key oxygen-transfer step because of the greater electrophilicity of the catalyst and that dimeric species hampers the approach of alkene substrates due to steric repulsions reducing its reactivity. The improved performance of the Zr(IV) catalyst relative to Ti(IV) and Nb(V) catalysts is respectively due to a flexible coordination environment and a low tendency to form energy deep-well and low-reactive Zr-peroxo intermediates.

“…Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted a great deal of research interest owing to a unique ensemble of properties, such as inherent hybrid nature, crystalline open structures, extraordinarily high surface areas, and content of uniform and accessible metal sites. Their remarkable synthetic tunability allows for chemical and physical properties to be adapted to targeted applications, including gas storage, separation, molecular recognition, biomedicine, sensing, and heterogeneous catalysis. − Zr-MOFs constructed from very robust Zr 6 -oxo-hydroxo clusters and various carboxylate linkers remain one of the most appealing classes of MOFs because of their outstanding chemical, thermal, hydrothermal, and mechanical stability. − In particular, the member of the UiO family (UiO stands for University of Oslo), UiO-66 constituted by Zr 6 O 4 (OH) 4 nodes connected by maximally 12 terephthalates or 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate (BDC) ligands, withstands temperature up to 350–450 °C under air and tolerates a broad range of solvents and reagents. − , …”

Nucleophilic versus Electrophilic Activation of Hydrogen Peroxide over Zr-Based Metal–Organic Frameworks

Zr-based metal–organic frameworks (Zr-MOF) UiO-66 and UiO-67 catalyze thioether oxidation in nonprotic solvents with unprecedentedly high selectivity toward corresponding sulfones (96–99% at ca. 50% sulfide conversion with only 1 equiv of H2O2). The reaction mechanism has been investigated using test substrates, kinetic, adsorption, isotopic (18O) labeling, and spectroscopic tools. The following facts point out a nucleophilic character of the peroxo species responsible for the superior formation of sulfones: (1) nucleophilic parameter XNu = 0.92 in the oxidation of thianthrene 5-oxide and its decrease upon addition of acid; (2) sulfone to sulfoxide ratio of 24 in the competitive oxidation of methyl phenyl sulfoxide and p-Br-methyl phenyl sulfide; (3) significantly lower initial rates of methyl phenyl sulfide oxidation relative to methyl phenyl sulfoxide (k S/k SO = 0.05); and (4) positive slope ρ = +0.42 of the Hammett plot for competitive oxidation of p-substituted aryl methyl sulfoxides. Nucleophilic activation of H2O2 on Zr-MOF is also manifested by their capability of catalyzing epoxidation of electron-deficient CC bonds in α,β-unsaturated ketones accompanied by oxidation of acetonitrile solvent. Kinetic modeling on methyl phenyl sulfoxide oxidation coupled with adsorption studies supports a mechanism that involves the interaction of H2O2 with Zr sites with the formation of a nucleophilic oxidizing species and release of water followed by oxygen atom transfer from the nucleophilic oxidant to sulfoxide that competes with water for Zr sites. The nucleophilic peroxo species coexists with an electrophilic one, ZrOOH, capable of oxygen atom transfer to nucleophilic sulfides. The predominance of nucleophilic activation of H2O2 over electrophilic one is, most likely, ensured by the presence of weak basic sites in Zr-MOFs identified by FTIR spectroscopy of adsorbed CDCl3 and quantified by adsorption of isobutyric acid.
