Non -covalent LDH/MOF composite formation: a new approach in sustainability for solvent-dependent photocatalytic aerobic alcohol oxidation

“…In order to check the progress of the reaction, Gas Chromatography (GC) (Yonglin 6100; BP-5; 30 m × 0.25 mm × 0.25 μm) was utilized in which toluene was used as a general solvent for injection and nitrogen as an inert carrier gas. Moreover, to identify the obtained products, 1 H-NMR and 13 C-NMR analyses were conducted on a Bruker Avance (DRX 400 MHz) using deuterated CDCl 3 as solvent and tetramethylsilane (TMS) as the internal standard.…”

“…When the reaction was over, the reaction solution was extracted with ethyl acetate, and the catalyst was also separated from the reaction mixture through centrifugation and rinsed three times with ethanol. Identification methods such as 13 C-NMR, 1 H-NMR, IR and mass spectrometry were carried out to validate the successful synthesis of aldehyde products.…”

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6] During the last decade, this field of interest has been developing in organic synthesis in sustainability. Various photocatalysts have been designed and developed for organic syntheses, such as metal oxides, [7][8][9] polymeric graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ), [10][11][12][13] metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] and layered double hydroxides (LDHs). [24][25][26] In order to prepare the most efficient photocatalysts, researchers have mainly attempted to separate photo-induced electron-hole pairs and adjust the number of band gaps of photocatalytic materials, while focusing less on the modification of the surface in organic synthesis.…”

“…50,51 More importantly, since MOFs are effective candidates for deterring recent environmental damages, 52 investigators are trying to develop MOFs with optical absorption properties for use as heterogeneous photocatalysts to eliminate and degrade detrimental substances. 13,51,53,54 Further, MOFs exhibit low hydro-stability, reducing their efficiency as photocatalysts, whereas, LDH compounds have better water stability; 55 thus, hybridization between LDHs and MOFs may provide advantageous conditions for a synergy between them. By doing so, the MOF porosity will be increased through the formation of mesoporous house-of-cards-type stacking structures, and the aggregation of MOF crystals will be stopped.…”

Photocatalytic aerobic oxidative functionalization (PAOF) reaction of benzyl alcohols by GO-MIL-100(Fe) composite in glycerol/K2CO3 deep eutectic solvent

“…In recent years, many semiconductor materials, especially species with conjugate structures, have been extensively studied in optical instruments 7 , 8 . Among them, 2D transition metal chalcogenides 9 , conductive polymers 10 , and carbon-based backbones such as carbon nitride 11 , carbon nanotubes 12 , 13 , graphene 14 , and graphene oxide (GO) 15 are of particular interest. The development and improvement of economical and cost-effective methods for GO preparation, as a promising option, is more considered than the others 16 , 17 .…”
