Sulfonic acid-functionalized PCP(Cr) catalysts with Cr³⁺ and -SO₃H sites for 5-ethoxymethylfurfural production from glucose.

ABSTRACT: 5-Ethoxymethylfurfural (EMF) has been identified as a potential biofuel and fuel additive, for which the production from glucose (the most abundant and inexpensive monosaccharide) in a one-step process would be highly desirable. Here, the synthesis of sulfonic acid-functionalized porous coordination polymers (PCPs) and their application as catalysts for EMF synthesis are reported. PCP(Cr)-BA (PCP material with Cr³⁺ ions and H₂BDC-SO₃H linkers) and PCP(Cr)-NA (PCP material with Cr³⁺ ions and H₂NDC(SO₃H)₂ linkers) materials containing both Cr³⁺ sites and Brønsted-acidic -SO₃H sites were prepared. The morphology, pore structure, acidity, chemical composition, and thermal stability of the two fun
