Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of catalytic synthesis technology, specifically relating to a method using N(BzBnme2) - Ionic liquid-modified metal-organic framework UiO-66-NH2 pickering emulsion, its preparation method and application. Background Technology
[0002] Ionic liquids (ILs) are a class of novel materials that are typically liquid at low temperatures. They consist of large organic cations and inorganic or organic anions. Compared to traditional organic solvents, ILs are more environmentally friendly to prepare, and due to their extremely low vapor pressure, they can replace solvents for volatile organic compounds, thus being considered "green solvents." Furthermore, based on their unique interionic interactions, ILs exhibit good compatibility with a variety of polar and nonpolar organic and inorganic compounds and can perform catalytic activities. Despite these excellent properties, ILs still face challenges in practical applications, such as difficult separation, complex purification, and poor recyclability, which limits their large-scale application to some extent. In contrast, heterogeneous catalysts have significant advantages in separation and reuse. Therefore, immobilizing ILs on supports to construct heterogeneous catalytic systems has become one of the effective strategies to improve their practicality. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of crystalline porous materials formed by the self-assembly of metal ions and organic ligands, characterized by high specific surface area, tunable pore structure, low density, and high porosity. Compared to traditional porous materials, MOFs allow for flexible control over the crystal structure and chemical composition of materials by selecting different metal nodes and organic linkers. Introducing ILs into MOF supports not only retains the excellent properties of ILs but also endows the system with the advantages of easy separation and recovery of heterogeneous catalysts, thus demonstrating broad potential in various catalytic and separation applications.
[0003] Pickering emulsions are a class of emulsion systems formed by solid particles (rather than traditional surfactants) as stabilizers. Their stabilization mechanism stems from the adsorption of solid particles at the oil / water interface, preventing droplet coalescence by reducing the interphase interface. The hydrophilicity or hydrophobicity of the particles is a key factor determining the emulsion type, i.e., water-in-oil (O / W) or oil-in-water (W / O) emulsions. Pickering interfacial catalysis refers to the solid particles simultaneously acting as emulsifiers and catalysts, significantly improving mass transfer and catalytic efficiency while forming a stable emulsion due to their large interfacial contact area.
[0004] Imines are important functional groups in medicinal chemistry, widely found in antibacterial agents, antimalarial drugs, and antifungal drugs. They are also important intermediates in the synthesis of other amine organic compounds. By selecting UiO-66-NH2 containing an amino functional group and ILs containing aldehyde groups, the ILs were immobilized on UiO-66-NH2 via a branching process, resulting in a N(BzBnme2)Br-modified composite material used for catalytic aldehyde-amine condensation to prepare imines.
