Redox-Active Metal-Organic Frameworks for the Catalytic Oxidation of Hydrocarbons

摘要

The disclosure provides for metal organic frameworks (MOFs) which comprise a plurality of redox-active metals or metal ions that are linked together by a plurality of dioxide-benzenedicarboxylate-based organic linking ligands. The disclosure further provides for the use of these MOFs in variety of applications, including catalyzing the oxidization of various hydrocarbons to higher oxidation states.

1. A metal organic framework (MOF) that comprises a plurality of redox-active metals or metal ions connected by a plurality of organic linking ligands comprising the structure(s) selected from the group consisting of:wherein R1-R14 are independently selected from H, D, halo, optionally substituted FG, optionally substituted (C1-C20)alkyl, optionally substituted (C1-C19)heteroalkyl, optionally substituted (C1-C20)alkenyl, optionally substituted (C1-C19)heteroalkenyl, optionally substituted (C1-C19)alkynyl, optionally substituted (C1-C19)heteroalkynyl, optionally substituted (C1-C19)cycloalkyl, optionally substituted (C1-C19)cycloalkenyl, optionally substituted aryl, optionally substituted heterocycle, optionally substituted mixed ring system, wherein one or more adjacent R groups can be linked together to form one or more substituted rings selected from the group comprising cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, heterocycle, aryl, and mixed ring system; wherein, the MOF is capable of catalytically oxidizing of small hydrocarbons to their corresponding alcohols and aldehydes
