Abstract

Two metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) were prepared based on post-synthetic modification (PSM) method. To design advanced functional material with enhanced catalytic activity, Cu3(BTC)2 (H3BTC = benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate) was synthesized and functionalized with 4-aminopyridine and 2-pyridine carboxaldehyde to achieve a supported bidentate Schiff base. Then, molybdenyl acetylacetonate MoO2(acac)2 and vanadyl acetylacetonate VO(acac)2 were immobilized on Schiff base functionalized Cu3(BTC)2. These newly prepared catalysts were studied by powder X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), and also N2 adsorption–desorption (BET method) analyses. After characterization, different parameters influencing the reaction were optimized. A comparative study of the catalytic activity was carried out in the epoxidation of various olefins and allylic alcohols over tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP). The maximum conversion was achieved in the case of Mo-catalyst as an effective and selective catalyst in the epoxidation of allylic alcohols.
