Abstract
Heterogeneous photocatalytic organic synthesis is fascinating because of the utilization of ubiquitous solar light for chemical transformations. Here, three Fe-MOFs with different Fe-O clusters, Lewis acid sites and morphologies were synthesized through coordination structure engineering. Pd/Fe-MOFs nanocomposites were used to challenge the amide bond green synthesis with visible light. Pd/MIL-101(Fe) exhibited the best photocatalytic performance due to the easily excited Fe3-μ3-oxo clusters for light absorption, the efficient photogenerated carriers separation and migration, the large amount of Lewis acid sites based aldehydes and amines condensation promotion and the efficient O2 reduction to superoxide radicals over photogenerated electron-rich Pd NPs. Various aldehydes, alcohols and toluenes could be transformed to amide compounds with amines over Pd/MIL-101(Fe) with just oxygen or air as the green oxidant and water as the by-product. One-pot CC cross-coupling and photo-redox CN coupling cascade reactions could also be achieved over Pd/MIL-101(Fe). This work shed light on the efficient and sustainable amide bonds synthesis.
