Title: Site-Selective Catalysis of a Multifunctional Linear Molecule: The Steric Hindrance of Metal–Organic Framework Channels

Abstract

The site-selective reaction of a multifunctional linear molecule requires a suitable catalyst possessing both uniform narrow channel to limit the molecule rotation and a designed active site in the channel. Recently, nanoparticles (NPs) were incorporated in metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) with the tailorable porosity and ordered nanochannel, which makes these materials (NPs/MOFs) highly promising candidates as catalytic nanoreactors in the field of heterogeneous catalysis. Inspired by a “Gondola” sailing in narrow “Venetian Canal” without sufficient space for a U-turn, a simple heterogeneous catalyst based on NPs/MOFs is developed here that exhibits site-selectivity for the oxidation of diols by restricting the random rotation of the molecule (the “Gondola”) in the limited space of the MOF channel (the narrow “Venetian Canal”), thereby protecting the middle functional group via steric hindrance. This strategy is not limited to the oxidation of diols, but can be extended to the site-selective reaction of many similar multifunctional linear molecules, such as the reduction of alkadienes.

Scheme 1 Scheme 1: Schematic representation of the site-selective catalysis of multifunctional linear molecule. The multifunctional linear molecule corresponds to the “Gondola” and each channel of the MOF corresponds to a narrow “Venetian Canal.” When the “Gondola” sails into a narrow “Venetian Canal,” it can only proceed directly ahead because the narrowmore » canal does not supply sufficient space for rotation of the “Gondola.” Hence, even though the side of the middle group enters the MOF pore apertures, reaction rarely occurs because of the lack of space for the middle group rotation.« less
