Abstract:
Herein, we have successfully synthesized a modulator-free, microporous, highly crystalline cubic (100) phase of Fe-soc-C MOF via a solvothermal process. This material exhibited a high BET surface area (889 m2 g-1), microporosity, and a low bandgap (2.037 eV). This Fe-MOF showed excellent photocatalytic activity for benzimidazole synthesis and benzylamine coupling reactions under blue light.
