Building a cobaloxime-based metal-organic framework for photocatalytic aerobic oxidation of arylboronic acids to phenols

Herein, the design and synthesis of an unprecedented cobaloxime-based zirconium metal-organic framework (Zr-TCPCo) with an she net is reported. This heterogeneous material as a photocatalyst exhibits excellent catalytic activity for aerobic oxidation of arylboronic acids to phenols. Recycling experiments demonstrate the stability and reusability of Zr-TCPCo as a robust catalyst.
