Solvothermally derived Me2(H2O)4(5SSA)3·DMF and Me2(H2O)4(4NSA)2·DMF: Application as Biginelli reaction catalysts

Abstract

The solvothermal synthesis between Me(NO3)x ∙ yH2O (Mex+ = Fe3+, Ni2+, Mn2+, Co2+, Cu2+) and respectively 4-nitrosalycilic (4NSA) and 5-sulfosalicylic (5SSA) acids produced hybrid organic-inorganic compounds composed of Mex+ ions and organic fragments which include three different functional groups, carboxylic, hydroxyl and sulfonic, each coordinated to the Mex+ ions. The phase and chemical composition, microstructure and properties of Me2(H2O)4(5SSA)3·DMF and Me2(H2O)4(4NSA)2·DMF (DMF – dimethylformamide) hybrid compounds were evaluated and discussed. The synthesised materials were characterised by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The catalytic properties of the obtained compounds were also investigated.

Investigation of upconversion phenomenon in Y1-xLn3+x(BTC)(DMF)2(H2O) and Y0.8-xYb0.2Ln3+x(BTC)(DMF)2(H2O) metal organic frameworks

“…In the present day, the most attention of scientific investigations is put on the synthesis and structural characterisation of new MOFs, analysis of their physical and chemical properties and post-synthetic modification. MOFs can be used in gas storage and separation [9][10][11][12], serve as catalysts [13][14][15][16][17] and luminescent materials [18][19][20][21]. However, today only about 14 MOFs are commercially available [22], mostly produced by Baden Aniline and Soda Factory (BASF), Germany.…”
