A series of highly stable porphyrinic metal-organic frameworks based on iron-oxo chain clusters: design, synthesis and biomimetic catalysis

Iron-based porphyrinic metal-organic frameworks (PMOFs) are desirable for biomimetic applications, due to the low toxicity and high abundance of Fe as well as the rich biomimetic functions of metalloporphyrins. Besides, the uniform dispersion of porphyrin centers in PMOFs can effectively protect them from self-dimerization. Nevertheless, it remains a big challenge to synthesize iron-based PMOFs. In this study, a series of Fe-oxo chain-based PMOFs incorporating different metals in porphyrinic centers (namely M-PMOF-3(Fe), M = Fe, Co, Ni, Cu) are synthesized directly from the reaction of metalloporphyrin and iron salts with an improved modulating strategy using a pair of monocarboxylic acids and water as the three-component modulator. The prepared materials of M-PMOF-3(Fe) possess high stability to resist a broad pH range (0-11) and even 2 M HCl in aqueous solutions for 2 days, and their frameworks can be maintained up to 350 °C. Catalytic tests show that M-PMOF-3(Fe) are effective in the aerobic oxidation of C-H bonds using oxygen from the air as the oxidant.

A Porphyrinic Zirconium Metal-Organic Framework for Oxygen Reduction Reaction: Tailoring the Spacing between Active-Sites through Chain-Based Inorganic Building Units

The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is central in carbon-neutral energy devices. While platinum group materials have shown high activities for ORR, their practical uses are hampered by concerns over deactivation, slow kinetics, exorbitant cost, and scarce

Remote ion-pair interactions in Fe-porphyrin-based molecular catalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction

The environmentally benign production of clean energy is extremely important for the sustainable progress of our society. In this respect, dihydrogen (H2) has been considered in the last decades as an efficient energy carrier and much effort has been directed to the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Herein, we report on the efficiency of iron-based 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrins containing carboxylate groups in different positions (ortho, meta and para of the meso-substituted aryl groups of the porphyrin backbone) as molecular catalysts for the HER. The iron-based porphyrin containing the carboxylic acids in the ortho position was found completely inactive in the HER. Furthermore, besides stereoelectronic control, the subtle differences observed in the cyclic voltammograms (CV) as well as those associated with the electrocatalytic activity might involve a previously neglected ion-pair interaction between the carboxylate groups of the porphyrin scaffold and the chloride anions belonging to the proton source, which highlights the relevance of ion-pair contacts remote from the active center for this type of catalytic system.

Single-Atom catalysts templated by metal-organic frameworks for electrochemical nitrogen reduction

The electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) has much prospect for substituting the energy-consuming Haber-Bosch process. Nevertheless, its sluggish reaction kinetics and the competing hydrogen evolution reaction always result in limited ammonia yield and low faradaic efficiency (FE). In this work, an Fe-decorated porphyrinic metal-organic framework (MOF) is employed as a precursor to construct single-Atom Fe implanted nitrogen-doped carbon catalysts (Fe1-N-C) through a mixed ligand strategy. Benefiting from the highly dispersed single-Atom Fe sites, hierarchically porous structure and good conductivity, Fe1-N-C shows a FE of 4.51% and an ammonia yield rate of 1.56 × 10-11 mol cm-2 s-1 at-0.05 V versus the reversible hydrogen electrode, superior to those of Co1-N-C and Ni1-N-C. Theoretical calculations reveal that Fe1-N-C shows the lowest energy barrier of the rate-determining step during the NRR process, consistent with its highest activity obtained in experiments. This work reveals the unique potential of single-Atom catalysts for the electrochemical NRR and provides in-depth insights into the catalytic mechanism of the NRR.

Iron-based metalloporphyrins as efficient catalysts for aerobic oxidation of biomass derived furfural into maleic acid

A series of porphyrin type catalysts with the metal active sites of Fe were prepared and investigated in aerobic oxidation of biomass-based furfural to maleic acid (MAD) in aqueous phase. The catalytic performance of meso-tetrakis(4-bromophenyl)porphyrin iron (III) chloride (FeT(p-Br)PPCl) immobilized on different supports was evaluated. It was interesting to find that the catalytic activity varied with the supports and followed the trend: FeT(p-Br)PPCl/SBA–15 > FeT(p-Br)PPCl/meso-ZSM–5 > FeT(p-Br)PPCl/MCM-41. The effect of reaction conditions were discussed in detail over FeT(p-Br)PPCl/SBA-15 catalyst, and 56.1% yield and 73.8% selectivity of MAD were obtained from renewable furfural under the optimal conditions. Moreover, the FeT(p-Br)PPCl/SBA-15 catalyst could be reused five times without a significant decrease of activity in recycling examinations.

Systematic Engineering of Single Substitution in Zirconium Metal-Organic Frameworks toward High-Performance Catalysis

Zirconium-based metal-organic frameworks (Zr-MOFs) exhibit great structural tunability and outstanding chemical stability, rendering them promising candidates for a wide range of practical applications. In this work, we synthesized a series of isostructural PCN-224 analogues functionalized by ethyl, bromo, chloro, and fluoro groups on the porphyrin unit, which allowed us to explicitly study the effects of electron-donating and electron-withdrawing substituents on catalytic performance in MOFs. Owing to the different electronic properties of ethyl, bromo, chloro, and fluoro substitutes, the molecular-level control over the chemical environment surrounding a catalytic center could be readily achieved in our MOFs. To investigate the effects of these substitutes on catalytic activity and selectivity, the oxidation of 3-methylpentane to corresponding alcohols and ketones was utilized as a model reaction. Within these five analogues of PCN-224, an extremely high turnover number of 7680 and turnover frequency of 10 240 h-1 was achieved by simply altering the substitutes on porphyrin rings. Moreover, a remarkable 99% selectivity of the tertiary alcohol over the five other possible by-products are realized. We demonstrate that this strategy can be used to efficiently screen a suitable peripheral environment around catalytic cores in MOFs for catalysis.

Cis -Decalin oxidation as a stereochemical probe of in-MOF versus on-MOF catalysis

Development of catalyst-controlled C-H hydroxylation could provide direct access to valuable synthetic targets, such as primary metabolites. Here, we report a new family of porous materials, comprised of 2-dimensional metalloporphyrin layers and flexible aliphatic linkers, and demonstrate C-H hydroxylation activity. We demonstrate that the stereochemistry of cis-decalin oxidation provides a useful tool for differentiating catalysis in from catalysis on porous materials, which is critical to leveraging the potential of porous materials for catalyst-controlled oxidation chemistry.

A highly stable porphyrinic zirconium metal-organic framework with shp-a topology

Through a kinetically controlled synthetic process, we synthesized PCN-223, a new porphyrinic Zr-MOF constructed from the newly reported hexagonal prismatic 12-connected Zr6 cluster through an unusual disordered arrangement, giving rise to the first example of the shp-a network in MOFs. With its extremely high connectivity, PCN-223 shows high stability in aqueous solutions with a wide range of pH. Cationic PCN-223(Fe) formed by postsynthetic treatment is an excellent recyclable heterogeneous catalyst for the hetero-Diels-Alder reaction.
