Abstract
A facile strategy for encapsulation of metal complex guests into MOFs was proposed. This strategy involves pre-adsorbing metal salt on MOF, and then coordinating the metal ions with the organic ligand, as exemplified by encapsulation of tris(1,10-phenanthroline) Cu(II) complexes (CuPhen) in MIL-100(Al) (denoted as CuPhen/MIL). CuPhen encapsulated in MIL-100(Al) showed higher catalytic activity than the neat CuPhen and CuPhen encapsulated in zeolite-Y. The prepared CuPhen/MIL catalyst was stable and could be reused at least three times without significant loss in activity. This work is beneficial for the host–guest chemistry study and the development of new heterogeneous catalysts.
