Title Synthesis and catalytic study of open metal site metal-organic frameworks Cu3(BTC)2 microbelts [Cu(BTC)-MBs] in selective organic sulfide oxidation
Type JournalPaper
Keywords metal–organic framework; open metal site MOFs; microbelts (MBs); hydrogen peroxide; sulfide
Abstract The synthesis of open metal site metal–organic frameworks of Cu3(BTC)2 with microbelt morphology and a study of the catalytic oxidation of organic sulfides are reported. This CuBTC was found to be an efficient, selective and waste-free green heterogeneous co-catalyst for the green H2O2 catalytic oxidation of sulfides. The catalyst can be isolated from the reaction mixture and reused at least five times.
