- Metal-organic frameworks with pyridyl-based isophthalic acid and their catalytic applications in microwave assisted peroxidative oxidation of alcohols and Henry reactionPublication . Karmakar, Anirban; Martins, Luisa; HAZRA, SUSANTA; Guedes Da Silva, M. Fátima C.; Pombeiro, ArmandoReactions of 5-{(pyridin-4-ylmethyl)amino} isophthalic acid (H(2)L1) with copper(II), zinc(II), and cadmium(II) were studied, and the obtained metal organic frameworks (MOFs) [{Cu(L1)(DMF)}center dot DMF center dot H2O](n) (1), [Zn(L1)(H2O)(n) (2), and [Cd(L1)](n) (3) were characterized by elemental analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray single-crystal diffraction. As shown by X-ray crystallography, novel hybrid organic inorganic coordination-driven assemblies were obtained which exhibit different two- and three-dimensional (2D and 3D) polymeric architectures. Compounds 1 and 2 have 2D structures, whereas compound 3 features a 3D network type polymer with a dimetallic core acting as a secondary building unit. These frameworks act as heterogeneous polymeric solid catalysts (the most effective one being the copper MOF 1) for solvent-free microwave assisted peroxidative oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols. They also effectively catalyze the nitroaldol (Henry) reaction of different aldehydes with nitroalkanes in water. These MOF-based heterogeneous catalysts can be easily recovered and reused, at least for a few consecutive cycles, without losing activity.
- Solvent-free microwave-assisted peroxidative oxidation of alcohols catalyzed by iron(III)-TEMPO catalytic systemsPublication . Karmakar, Anirban; Martins, Luisa; Guedes Da Silva, M. Fátima C.; HAZRA, SUSANTA; Pombeiro, ArmandoThe iron(III) complexes [H(EtOH)][FeCl2(L)(2)] (1), [H(2)bipy](1/2)[FeCl2(L)(2)].DMF (2) and [FeCl2(L)(2,2'-bipy)] (3) (L = 3-amino-2-pyrazinecarboxylate; H(2)bipy = doubly protonated 4,4'-bipyridine; 2,2'-bipy = 2,2'-bipyridine, DMF = dimethylformamide) have been synthesized and fully characterized by IR, elemental and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses, as well as by electrochemical methods. Complexes 1 and 2 have similar mononuclear structures containing different guest molecules (protonated ethanol for 1 and doubly protonated 4,4'-bipyridine for 2) in their lattices, whereas the complex 3 has one 3-amino-2-pyrazinecarboxylate and a 2,2'-bipyridine ligand. They show a high catalytic activity for the low power (10 W) solvent-free microwave assisted peroxidative oxidation of 1-phenylethanol, leading, in the presence of TEMPO, to quantitative yields of acetophenone [TOFs up to 8.1 x 10(3) h(-1), (3)] after 1 h. Moreover, the catalysts are of easy recovery and reused, at least for four consecutive cycles, maintaining 83 % of the initial activity and concomitant rather high selectivity. 3-Amino-2-pyrazinecarboxylic acid is used to synthesize three new iron(III) complexes which act as heterogeneous catalysts for the solvent-free microwave-assisted peroxidative oxidation of 1-phenylethanol.
