Abstract

Phenol is one of the most important chemicals in industry. One-step selective benzene hydroxylation is an attractive yet challenging method for phenol production, especially when such a reaction can be driven by solar energy. Herein, we reported that a highly selective benzene hydroxylation to phenol can be achieved over two Fe-based metal–organic frameworks [MIL-100(Fe) and MIL-68(Fe)] under visible light irradiations using hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) as an oxidant. An optimal benzene conversion of 30.6% was achieved with a H₂O₂:benzene ratio of 3:4 over MIL-100(Fe) after 24 h irradiations. ESR results and the kinetic studies suggested that a successful coupling of the photocatalysis of Fe–O clusters in Fe-based metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) with a Fenton-like route is involved in this benzene hydroxylation process. The comparison of the reaction over MIL-100(Fe) and MIL-68(Fe) reveals that the structure of MOFs significantly influences the photocatalytic efficiency. Because the composition and the structure of MOFs are highly tunable, this study highlights the great potential of using Fe-based MOFs for photocatalytic benzene hydroxylation to form phenol, which may result in an economical, sustainable, and thus green process for phenol production.

Commun., 2015, Advance Article DOI: 10.1039/C5CC07956J Received 22 Sep 2015, Accepted 15 Oct 2015 First published online 28 Oct 2015 http://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlelanding/2015/cc/c5cc07956j#!divAbstract Abstract The synthesis of the first example of a third-row metallocorrolazine characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction is reported. This ReV(O) porphyrinoid complex shows an exclusively ligand-based reactivity with strong acids and oxidizing agents. The one-electron oxidized π-radical-cation complex is capable of H-atom abstraction.

Ligands LX (X = 1, 2, 3, and 4) stand for tridentate imine ligands resulting from spontaneous condensation of 2-pycolyl-amine and 4-substituted-2-picolyl aldehydes. Fast and quantitative formation of the complex occurs just upon mixing aldehyde, amine, and Fe(OTf)2 in a 2:2:1 ratio in acetonitrile solution. The solid-state structures of (L1)2Fe(OTf)(ClO4) and (L3)2Fe(OTf)2 are reported, showing a low-spin octahedral iron center, with the lig...
