Abstract
The construction of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) with desirable structures for high-performance photocatalysis is attractive but remains challenging. Here, a hierarchically meso- and microporous scCu-MOF-74 was synthesized in supercritical CO2 (scCO2)/methanol solution. Compared with the conventional microporous Cu-MOF-74, the meso- and microporous scCu-MOF-74 has more exposed and accessible Lewis acid sites derived from the missing-linker defects. The unique structure endows scCu-MOF-74 with superior molecular accessibility, enhanced separation, and transfer efficiency of photogenerated charges. High catalytic activity and reusability can be achieved in photo-oxidative coupling of amines, reaching a maximum N-benzylbenzaldimine yield rate of 4.80 mmol g−1 h−1 under mild conditions, that is, air atmosphere and room temperature. This study provides a new idea for improving the intrinsic photocatalytic activities of MOFs.
期刊介绍:
All new compounds should be satisfactorily identified and proof of their structure given according to generally accepted standards. Structural reports, such as papers exclusively dealing with synthesis and characterization, analytical techniques, or X-ray diffraction studies of metal-organic or organometallic compounds will not be considered. The editors reserve the right to refuse without peer review any manuscript that does not comply with the aims and scope of the journal. Applied Organometallic Chemistry publishes Full Papers, Reviews, Mini Reviews and Communications of scientific research in all areas of organometallic and metal-organic chemistry involving main group metals, transition metals, lanthanides and actinides. All contributions should contain an explicit application of novel compounds, for instance in materials science, nano science, catalysis, chemical vapour deposition, metal-mediated organic synthesis, polymers, bio-organometallics, metallo-therapy, metallo-diagnostics and medicine. Reviews of books covering aspects of the fields of focus are also published.
