Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of catalysts, and in particular to a highly efficient and recyclable catalyst for photocatalytic reaction, and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Photocatalysis is a way of using light energy to transform substances. It is a chemical reaction of substances under the combined action of light and catalysts. Photocatalytic reaction is a process in which a reaction system containing a catalyst excites reaction molecules or excites the catalyst to form a complex with reaction molecules under light irradiation, converts light energy into chemical energy, and promotes the reaction.

[0003] At present, complex-loaded photocatalysts and small molecule photocatalysts with MOFs, COFs or molecular sieves as carriers are widely used in photocatalytic reactions. Most complex-loaded photoreaction catalysts with MOFs, COFs or molecular sieves as carriers are heterogeneous catalysis in photocatalytic reactions, resulting in poor diffusion of substrates and products in and out of heterogeneous catalysts, which cannot fully contact the substrate and have low catalytic efficiency; a few photocatalysts that can be homogeneous catalyzed cannot increase the local concentration of the catalyst, which affects the catalytic efficiency, and the homogeneous catalyst is difficult to separate from the reaction system and difficult to reuse. The catalyst cost is high, which limits its application in production or experiments. Small molecule photocatalysts are relatively dispersed in the reaction solution. When more than two catalysts are loaded on the carrier, the relative positions of the two catalysts will be unstable, resulting in low catalytic efficiency.

[0004] There is an urgent need to develop a catalyst with high catalytic efficiency and recyclability. Summary of the invention

[0080]

[0081] R2 is phenyl, naphthyl, 4-cyanophenyl or 4-methoxyphenyl.

[0082] The high-efficiency recyclable catalyst of the present invention uses silicon dioxide particles as a carrier, and tetraethyl orthosilicate is controllably hydrolyzed under the catalysis of ammonia water to generate silicon dioxide microspheres, and amine groups are connected to the surface of the microspheres through 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane KH-550.

[0111] The highly efficient and recyclable catalyst P1 prepared in Example 1 was used to catalyze different types of photocatalytic reactions. The principle of photocatalysis is as follows:

[0112] Highly efficient and recyclable catalyst P1 photocatalyzes the coupling reaction of iodinated aromatics with CS bonds of thiols:

[0113]

[0114] Highly efficient and recyclable catalyst P1 photocatalyzes the coupling reaction of bromoaryl hydrocarbons with sodium sulfinate CS bonds:

[0115]

[0116] Highly efficient and recyclable catalyst P1 for photocatalytic bromination of aromatic hydrocarbons:

[0117]

[0118] Highly efficient and recyclable catalyst P1 for photocatalytic coupling reaction of bromoaryl hydrocarbons with sulfonamide CN bonds:

[0119]

[0120] Highly efficient and recyclable catalyst P1 for photocatalytic construction of CO bonds of iodinated aromatics:

[0121]

[0122] After the photocatalytic reaction is completed, methanol is added to the reaction system, and the methanol quenches the photoreaction and causes the high-efficiency recyclable catalyst P1 to precipitate from the reaction system. The reaction system is centrifuged to separate the high-efficiency recyclable catalyst P1 from the liquid phase, thereby recovering the high-efficiency recyclable catalyst P1. The recovered high-efficiency recyclable catalyst P1 can be used again for the photocatalytic reaction, and a lot of costs can be saved through repeated use.

[0123] Examples 4-8 are about using the highly efficient and recyclable catalyst P1 prepared in Example 1 to catalyze different types of photocatalytic reactions, as shown in Table 1. As a comparative experiment, the highly efficient and recyclable catalyst P1 in Examples 4-8 was replaced with the existing commercial catalyst NiCl2.DME to carry out photocatalytic reactions. The experimental results of Examples 4-8 and their respective comparative experiments are shown in Table 1.

[0131] As can be seen from Table 1, the photocatalytic reaction time of the highly efficient and recyclable catalyst P1 prepared in Example 1 is 10-12 hours, while the photocatalytic reaction time of the comparative experiment using NiCl2.DME is 24-48 hours. This is because the photosensitizer monomer and the transition metal copolymer molecule of the highly efficient and recyclable catalyst P1 are loaded on the same main chain, the relative positions of the photosensitizer monomer and the transition metal copolymer molecule are fixed, and the transition metal copolymer molecule is more likely to capture the free radicals generated by the photosensitizer, resulting in a synergistic catalytic effect, improving the catalytic activity, and shortening the reaction catalytic time.

[0132] The photocatalytic reaction yield of the highly efficient and recyclable catalyst P1 is 92-98%, while the photocatalytic reaction yield of the existing commercial catalyst NiCl2.DME is 43-70%. The catalytic efficiency of the highly efficient and recyclable catalyst P1 of the present invention is much higher than that of the existing catalyst.

[0133] The highly efficient and recyclable catalyst P1 of Example 4 was recycled and reused, and then recycled and used again, and a total of 6 catalytic-recycling cycles were performed. Fig. 9 As shown, the highly efficient and recyclable catalyst P1 is 98%, and after 6 cycles, the yield is still as high as 90%.

[0134] Although the present invention has been described in detail in general terms and in specific embodiments in this specification, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that some modifications or improvements may be made to the present invention. Therefore, these modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of the present invention all fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
