Photocatalytic metal-organic frameworks for the aerobic oxidation of arylboronic acids

Chem Commun (Camb). 2015 Jun 18;51(48):9880-3. doi: 10.1039/c5cc01697e.

Abstract

A photocatalytic Ru complex was incorporated into a Zr(iv)-based metal-organic framework (MOF) via postsynthetic methods. The resulting UiO-67-Ru(bpy)3 shows efficient and recyclable catalytic activity for the aerobic oxidation of arylboronic acids under near-UV and visible light irradiation.
