ABSTRACT
Stable metal-organic frameworks containing periodically arranged nanosized pores and active Lewis acid-base active sites are considered as ideal candidates for efficient heterogeneous catalysis. Herein, the exquisite combination of [Y2(CO2)7(H2O)2] cluster (abbreviated as {Y2}) and multifunctional linker of 2,4,6-tri(2,4-dicarboxyphenyl)pyridine (H6TDP) led to a nanoporous framework of {[Y2(TDP)(H2O)2]·5H2O·4DMF}n (NUC-53, NUC = North University of China), which is a rarely reported binuclear three-dimensional (3D) framework with hierarchical tetragonal-microporous (0.78 nm) and octagonal-nanoporous (1.75 nm) channels. The inner walls of these channels are aligned by {Y2} clusters and plentifully coexisted Lewis acid-base sites of YIII ions and Npyridine atoms. Furthermore, NUC-53 has a quite large void volume of â¼65.2%, which is significantly higher than most documented 3D rare-earth-based MOFs. The performed catalytic experiments exhibited that activated NUC-53 showed a high catalytic activity on the cycloaddition reactions of CO2 with styrene oxide under mild conditions with excellent turnover number (TON 1980) and turnover frequency (TOF 495 h-1). Moreover, the deacetalization-Knoevenagel condensation reactions of benzaldehyde dimethyl acetal and malononitrile could be efficiently prompted by the heterogeneous catalyst of NUC-53. These findings not only pave the way for the construction of nanoporous MOF based on rare-earth clusters with a variety of catalytic activities but also provide some new insights into the catalytic mechanism.
