A thiadiazolopyridine-functionalized Zr(iv)-based metal-organic framework for enhanced photocatalytic synthesis of tetrahydroquinolines under visible light.

ABSTRACT: Metal-organic framework (MOF) materials provide a versatile and promising platform for constructing heterogeneous photocatalysts with applications in organic transformations. One of the methods for enhancing MOFs' performance in photocatalysis relies on the elaborate design and functionalization of organic linkers. Here we reported a photoactive thiadiazolopyridine (TDP) moiety functionalized UiO-68 isoreticular Zr(iv)-based MOF (denoted as UiO-68-TDP) that was synthesized by the de novo approach of mixed dicarboxylate struts. Under blue LED irradiation and in an open air atmosphere, MOF UiO-68-TDP exhibited a largely higher photocatalytic activity for the synthesis of tetrahydroquinolines by oxidative annulation reaction between N,N-dimethylanilines and maleimides, in comparison to the benzothiadiazole decorated analogue MOF. Besides, UiO-68-TDP can be reused at least three times without significant loss of its photocatalytic activity and its framework was well maintained after these cycles. Furthermore, the related mechanism involving reactive oxygen species was properly proposed.

Project description:Formic acid is considered as one of the most promising liquid organic hydrogen carriers. Its catalytic dehydrogenation process generally suffers from low activity, low reaction selectivity, low stability of the catalysts, and/or the use of noble-metal-based catalysts. Herein we report a highly selective, efficient, and noble-metal-free photocatalyst for the dehydrogenation of formic acid. This catalyst, UiO-66(COOH)2-Cu, is built by postmetalation of a carboxylic-functionalized Zr-MOF with copper. The visible-light-driven photocatalytic dehydrogenation process through the release of hydrogen and carbon dioxide has been monitored in real-time via operando Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, which revealed almost 100% selectivity with high stability (over 3 days) and a conversion yield exceeding 60% (around 5 mmol·gcat-1·h-1) under ambient conditions. These performance indicators make UiO-66(COOH)2-Cu among the top photocatalysts for formic acid dehydrogenation. Interestingly, the as-prepared UiO-66(COOH)2-Cu hetero-nanostructure was found to be moderately active under solar irradiation during an induction phase, whereupon it undergoes an in-situ restructuring process through intraframework cross-linking with the formation of the anhydride analogue structure UiO-66(COO)2-Cu and nanoclustering of highly active and stable copper sites, as evidenced by the operando studies coupled with steady-state isotopic transient kinetic experiments, transmission electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses, and Density Functional Theory calculations. Beyond revealing outstanding catalytic performance for UiO-66(COO)2-Cu, this work delivers an in-depth understanding of the photocatalytic reaction mechanism, which involves evolutive behavior of the postmetalated copper as well as the MOF framework over the reaction. These key findings pave the way toward the engineering of new and efficient catalysts for photocatalytic dehydrogenation of formic acid.
