Abstract
AbstractMOFs (Metal organic frameworks) have diverse structures that present great potential for light capture and light conversion. Therefore, MOFs are widely used in the study of photocatalysis. However, there still are some challenges in photocatalytic organic conversion upon MOFs under mild conditions, such as poor light absorption performance. Here, we successfully synthesized a new Cd‐connected two‐dimensional MOF by a simple hydrothermal method, termed [Cd(PLA)(4,4’‐bipy)0.5 ]⋅(DMF) (Cd‐PLA) (PLA= phenylene‐diacetic acid, 4,4’‐bipy= 4,4’‐bipyridine and DMF= N,N’‐dimethyl formamide). The bpy‐containing Cd‐PLA possesses excellent light harvest ability and suitable photocatalysis energy potential, allowing it to be a remarkable photocatalyst with highly efficiency and selectivity for the photo‐oxidation of benzylamine. This work provides an efficient, economical, and green way for oxidation of amines to produce imines under ultraviolet light irradiation.
