For the first time, a ~100% sulfonic acid functionalized metal-organic framework (MOF), MIL-101-SO3H, with giant pores has been prepared by a hydrothermal process followed by a facile postsynthetic HCl treatment strategy. The replete readily accessible Lewis acidic and especially Bronsted acidic sites distributed throughout the framework as well as high stability endow the resultant MOF exceptionally high efficiency and recyclability, which surpass all other MOF-based catalysts, for the ring opening of epoxides with alcohols (especially, methanol) as nucleophiles under ambient conditions.

The fact that the homogeneous acid catalysts are usually separated difficulty than heterogeneous catalysts from the reaction media, the opportunity to combine the advantages of both homogeneous and heterogeneous catalytic systems by immobilizing ILs within the pores of a porous solid support host is an alternative method. In this research, a multi-SO3H functionalized ionic liquid derived from hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA) and 1,3-propane sultone was entrapped inside the pores of MIL-100(Fe) through the ship-in-bottle method and utilized for heterogeneous acid-catalyzed ring-opening of epoxides under solvent-free conditions. The physicochemical properties of prepared catalyst were fully elucidated by various methods. FT-IR spectroscopy and elemental analysis approved the successful incorporation of modified groups within the MIL-100(Fe) cavities. The concentration of acid sites was measured via the acid–base titration which exhibited the 0.9?mmol/g H+ in the catalyst structure. Also, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) profile showed the loosing of modified groups at 300–600°C. Moreover, X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis showed that the MIL-100(Fe) structure was retained after modification and nitrogen adsorption–desorption analysis (BET method) manifested the decrease in surface area caused by incorporation of ionic liquid. The fabricated catalyst exhibited high catalytic efficiency in methanolysis of styrene oxide (99% conversion in 3?h) under ambient conditions and used without a substantial drop in product yield in further rounds.

The detailed promotion mechanism of nitrogenous compounds in the cobalt-catalyzed methoxycarbonylation of epoxides has not been studied to date. Herein, we present the intrinsic correlation between nitrogenous promoters and activity and selectivity in the alkoxycarbonylation of epoxides by a comprehensive in situ IR spectroscopy and DFT studies. In situ IR spectroscopy confirmed the acid-base neutralization of the nitrogenous promoters and HCo(CO)4, resulting in reduction of the acidity of the catalyst. With the reduced acid-derived activity for formation of ethers as by-products, the selectivity of desired esters was increased. DFT calculations showed that a nitrogenous base could facilitate the methanolysis of cobalt-acyl species with lowered activation energy, which is considered to be the rate-determining step in the catalytic cycle. As a result, the reaction activity towards carbonylation was also improved by nitrogenous promoters. The present studies will provide new insights to the long-term confusing problems in epoxides carbonylation.

A novel macromolecular-metal coordination complex, MBA-cross-linked PNVP/FeCl3 material was fabricated by immobilization of water intolerant ferric chloride onto the porous cross-linked poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) carrier beads as a macromolecular ligand or carrier which was prepared by suspension free-radical copolymerization of N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone (NVP) and N,N′-methylene bis-acrylamide (MBA) as a crosslinking agent in water. The obtained PNVP/FeCl3 was characterized by UV/vis and FT-IR spectroscopies, TGA, FE-SEM, EDX, and ICP techniques. This heterogenized version of ferric chloride is a convenient and safe alternative to highly water intolerant ferric chloride. The catalytic performance of (PNVP/FeCl3) as an efficient and recyclable polymeric Lewis acid catalyst was appropriately probed in the regio-and stereoselective nucleophilic ring opening of various epoxides with various alcohols in excellent yields with TOF up to 182.48 h?1 without generating any waste. The activity data indicate that this heterogeneous catalyst is very active and could be easily recovered, and reused at least six times without appreciable loss of activity indicating its stability under experimental conditions.
