A new metal-organic framework-based solid acid catalyst was prepared and employed in the catalytic ring-opening of epoxides. The catalyst showed excellent efficiency and stability in the reaction.
A new metal-organic framework-based solid acid catalyst was successfully prepared and exploited in the catalytic ring-opening of epoxides. First, NH2-MIL-88B(Fe) (Fe-MOF) was prepared through the solvothermal reaction of NH2-BDC and FeCl3 center dot 6H(2)O. Then, the prepared MOF was functionalized with 1,3-propane sultone and subsequently treated with H2SO4 to form Fe-MOF-SO3H. The XRD pattern confirmed the stability of the primary MOF after post-modification steps. Moreover, the presence of -SO3H groups was exactly proved via FT-IR and X-ray photoelectron (XPS) spectroscopies as well as elemental analysis. In addition, a significant reduction in the specific surface area provided another proof to verify the successful post-modification process. Finally, the prepared MOF-SO3H was employed in the catalytic ring-opening reaction of epoxides. The obtained results revealed the excellent effect of the prepared catalyst on the epoxide ring-opening in a short time. Moreover, the recovered catalyst exhibited good stability in five successive recycling tests with no considerable loss of its activity.
