Postmodification of reticular materials with well-defined catalysts is an appealing approach to produce new catalytic functional materials with improved stability and recyclability, but also to study catalysis in confined spaces. A promising strategy to this end is the postfunctionalization of crystalline and robust metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) to exploit the potential of crystal-to-crystal transformations for further characterization of the catalysts. In this regard, two new photocatalytic materials, MOF-520-PC1 and MOF-520-PC2, are straightforwardly obtained by the postfunctionalization of MOF-520 with perylene-3-carboxylic acid (PC1) and perylene-3-butyric acid (PC2). The single crystal-to-crystal transformation yielded the X-ray diffraction structure of catalytic MOF-520-PC2. The well-defined disposition of the perylenes inside the MOF served as suitable model systems to gain insights into the photophysical properties and mechanism by combining steady-state, time-resolved, and transient absorption spectroscopy. The resulting materials are active organophotoredox catalysts in the reductive dimerization of aromatic aldehydes, benzophenones, and imines under mild reaction conditions. Moreover, MOF-520-PC2 can be applied for synthesizing gram-scale quantities of products in continuous-flow conditions under steady-state light irradiation. This work provides an alternative approach for the construction of well-defined, metal-free, MOF-based catalysts.

Perylene, a simple polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, was used as a photoredox catalyst to enable the reductive coupling reaction of aromatic aldehydes, ketones, and an imine under visible-light irradiation using a white LED.

Selective syn and anti diacetoxylations of alkenes have been achieved using a PhI(OAc)2/BF3·OEt2 system in the presence and absence of water, respectively. A broad range of substrates including electron-deficient alkenes (such as α,β-unsaturated esters) could be elaborated efficiently at room temperature with this methodology, furnishing the desired products in good to excellent yields and diastereoselectivity. In particular, a multigram-scale diastereoselective diacetoxylation of methyl cinnamate (5.00 g) was also accomplished in a few hours, maintaining the same efficiency as small-scale reaction. This novel methodology provides an alternative approach for the preparation of various 1,2-diols.
