Exploring the Role of Amino Acid-Derived Multivariate Metal-Organic Frameworks as Catalysts in Hemiketalization Reactions.

ABSTRACT: Understanding the host-guest chemistry in MOFs represents a research field with outstanding potential to develop in a rational manner novel porous materials with improved performances in fields such as heterogeneous catalysis. Herein, we report a family of three isoreticular MOFs derived from amino acids and study the influence of the number and nature of functional groups decorating the channels as a catalyst in hemiketalization reactions. In particular, a multivariate (MTV) MOF 3, prepared by using equal percentages of amino acids L-serine and L-mecysteine, in comparison to single-component ("traditional") MOFs, derived from either L-serine or L-mecysteine (MOFs 1 and 2), exhibits the most efficient catalytic conversions for the hemiketalization of different aldehyde
