Abstract:
The macro-meso-microporous and defective metal-organic framework constructed by transition metal Zn and 2,2'-bipyridine-5,5'-carboxylate was synthesized in CO2-expanded solvent. It shows high photocatalytic activity and selectivity for the oxidation of amines to imines under mild conditions, i.e., air as an oxidant, room temperature, and involving no photosensitizer or cocatalyst.
