Regioselective Ring-Opening of Spiro-Epoxyoxindoles by a Dual-Ligand Zinc-Based Metal-Organic Framework as an Efficient Heterogeneous Catalyst

Parth Patel et al.

Summary: Developing a novel heterogeneous catalyst for regioselective ring-opening reactions of spiro-epoxyoxindoles has significant importance in the pharmaceutical industry. In this study, a chiral-phase pure Zn-based metal-organic framework (MOF) was synthesized and shown to efficiently catalyze the formation of beta-alkoxy/beta-hydroxy alcohols. The catalyst exhibited excellent activity and stability, and the catalytic products were confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SXRD) analysis.

Bimetallic CuZn-MOFs derived Cu-ZnO/C catalyst for reductive amination of nitroarenes with aromatic aldehydes tandem reaction

Wei She et al.

Summary: Tuning of metal-metal/oxide interaction is crucial for enhancing supported catalyst performance. In this study, a Cu/Zn bimetallic MOFs was synthesized and converted into a ZnO/nitrogen-doped carbon composite supported Cu catalyst (Cu-ZnO/NC-BMOFs) for hydrogenation-amination tandem reaction. The developed catalyst exhibited superior performance and stability compared to traditional Cu/ZnO/NC-IWI catalyst, converting nitroarenes into imines or secondary amines with high selectivity.

Mimicking the Electron Transport Chain and Active Site of [FeFe] Hydrogenases in One Metal-Organic Framework: Factors That Influence Charge Transport

Ashleigh T. Castner et al.

Summary: This study focuses on the preparation and characterization of a redox-active PCN-700-based MOF that mimics the [FeFe] hydrogenase enzyme, revealing similarities and limitations in the MOF-enzyme analogy. The dual-functionalized MOF shows nonideal interactions between linkers and restricted mobility of charge-compensating redox-inactive counterions upon successive charging, leading to absent expected redox features in cyclic voltammetry. These nonlinear effects may play an important role in MOFs for catalytic applications.
