Merging of the photocatalysis and copper catalysis in metal-organic frameworks for oxidative C-C bond formation.

ABSTRACT: The direct formation of new C-C bonds through photocatalytic oxidative coupling from low reactive sp³ C-H bonds using environmentally benign and cheap oxygen as oxidant is an important area in sustainable chemistry. By incorporating the photoredox catalyst [SiW₁₁O₃₉Ru(H₂O)]^5- into the pores of Cu-based metal-organic frameworks, a new approach for merging Cu-catalysis/Ru-photocatalysis within one single MOF was achieved. The direct Cu^II-O-W(Ru) bridges made the two metal catalyses being synergetic, enabling the application on the catalysis of the oxidative coupling C-C bond formation from acetophenones and N-phenyl-tetrahydroisoquinoline with excellent conversion and size-selectivity. The method takes advantage of visi
