Abstract

In this research, a controlled route for straightforward synthesizing novel microporous nanocomposites of ZIF-8 type metal-organic frameworks material incorporated with copper (II) was synthesized by the sol–gel method. The nanocatalyst was characterized using SEM, XRD, FT-IR, EDX, TGA and BET methods. The prepared nanocatalyst with truncated rhombic dodecahedron morphology and average particle size around 270 nm shows the BET surface area, mean pore size and total pore volume 1767 m2 g−1, 1.6 nm and 0.7 cm3 g−1, respectively. The high surface area, suitable pore size, having a layered structure, and mobility of the active centres in the ionic liquid units make the active sites of the synthesized nanocatalyst more accessible for interaction with organic compounds. The synthesized CuZIF@CuLDH/IMIL-Cu2+ nanocatalyst was applied as a robust nanocatalyst for the Huisgen and Pechmann reactions for the synthesis of the triazole and coumarin derivatives with excellent yields (> 80%). The high catalytic capacity and good reusability of the nanocatalyst suggest that it can be applied as new nanocatalyst showing attractive potential.
