Introducing a novel MOF-based UiO۶۶-N/DAMO/Cu nanocatalyst for the oxidation of benzyl alcohols

In recent years Metal Organic Frameworks (MOF) has attracted considerable attention due to their special characteristics. One of the important uses of these compounds is their use as a catalyst support, which is important because of their porous structure.In this research, we aim to report preparation, characterization and catalytic application of a novel MOF-based catalyst for the oxidation of benzyl alcohols to the corresponding aldehyde. The specific substrate employed in this study is a type of MOF commercially known as UiO۶۶-NH۲[۱]. The desired catalyst was obtained by functionalizing of MOF with diacetyl monoxime (CH۳C(O)C(NOH)CH۳) and then complexation of copper metal to the oxime ligand (UiO۶۶-N/DAMO/Cu).UiO۶۶-N/DAMO/Cu DAMO: Diacetyl monoxime (CH۳C(O)C(NOH)CH۳)UiO۶۶-N/DAMO/Cu was applied in the oxidation reaction of various benzyl alcohols and corresponding aldehydes were obtained in good to excellent yields[۲,۳]. The catalyst is reusable many times with moderate decrease in its activity.
