Abstract

A novel and convenient approach for the construction of the bifunctional MIL-101 material bearing sulfonic acid and amino groups was established via the post-synthetic modification. This material possesses high BET surface area (1446 m2/g) and large pore volume (0.77 cm3/g). Significantly, this material could serve as a bifunctional heterogeneous catalyst and was initially employed for one-pot deacetalization-Knoevenagel reaction, exhibiting excellent catalytic performance (yield 99.74%). More importantly, it can be easily recovered and reused at least three times. Finally, our proposed catalytic mechanism indicated that amino and the sulfonic acid groups played a synergistic effect on this one-pot deacetalization-Knoevenagel reaction.
