Fine-Tuning the Activity of Metal–Organic Framework Supported Cobalt Catalysts for the Oxidative Dehydrogenation of Propane
Few-atom cobalt-oxide clusters, when dispersed on a Zr-based metal–organic framework (MOF) NU-1000, have previously been shown to be active for the oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of propane at low temperatures (< 230 °C), affording a selective and stable propene production catalyst. In our current work, a series of promoter ions with varying Lewis acidity, including Ni(II), Zn(II), Al(III), Ti(IV) and Mo(VI), are anchored as metal-oxide,hydroxide clusters to NU-1000 via SIM (solvothermal deposition within MOFs–specifically the nodes) followed by incorporation of Co(II) ions via vapor-phase AIM (atomic layer deposition (ALD) in MOFs). This process yields a series of NU-1000-supported bimetallic-oxo,hydroxo,aqua clusters. Using difference envelope density (DED) analyses, the spatial locations of the promoter ions and catalytic cobalt ions are determined. For all samples the SIM-anchored promoter ions are sited between pairs of Zr 6 nodes along the MOF c-axis (channel-aligned axis) whereas the location of the AIM-anchored cobalt ions varies depending on the identity of promoter metal ion. With Ni(II)-, Al(III)-, or Ti(IV)-containing clusters as promoters, the oxy-cobalt species are sited atop the promoter sites; with Mo(VI) they grow exclusively on the MOF nodes sites (hexa-Zr(IV)- oxo,hydroxo,aqua units); with Zn(II) they grow on both the node and promoter.

The NU-1000- supported bimetallic-oxide clusters are active for propane ODH after thermal activation under O2 to open a cobalt coordination site and to oxidize Co(II) to Co(III), as evidenced by operando Xray absorption spectroscopy at the Co K-edge. The cobalt component is exclusively responsible for the observed catalysis. In accord with the decreasing Lewis acidity of the promoter ion, catalytic activity increases in the order: Mo(VI)},
