Probing the Lewis Acidity and Catalytic Activity of the Metal–Organic Framework [Cu3(btc)2] (BTC=Benzene‐1,3,5‐tricarboxylate)
Open accessAbstract
An optimized procedure was designed for the preparation of the microporous metal–organic framework (MOF) [Cu 3(btc)2] (BTC=benzene‐1,3,5‐tricarboxylate). The crystalline material was characterized by X‐ray diffraction, optical microscopy, SEM, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, N 2 sorption, thermogravimetry, and IR spectroscopy of adsorbed CO. CO adsorbs on a small number of Cu 2 O impurities, and particularly on the free Cu II coordination sites in the framework. [Cu 3(btc)2] is a highly selective Lewis acid catalyst for the isomerization of terpene derivatives, such as the rearrangement of α‐pinene oxide to campholenic aldehyde and the cyclization of citronellal to isopulegol. By using the ethylene ketal of 2‐bromopropiophenone as a test substrate, it was demonstrated that the active sites in [Cu 3(btc)2] are hard Lewis acids. Catalyst stability, re‐usability, and heterogeneity are critically assessed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
