Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of organic functional material synthesis, and particularly relates to a synthesis method of a trivalent rhodium covalent organic framework catalyst. BACKGROUND
[0002] Over the past few decades, Rh(III)-catalyzed C(sp 2 )-H bond functionalization has made remarkable progress in the field of organic synthetic chemistry. This reaction can efficiently construct complex organic molecules, while having excellent atom economy and step economy (J.C. Lewis, R.G. Bergman and J.A. Ellman, Acc. Chem. Res., 2008, 41, 1013-1025). However, the use of Rh(III) catalysts under homogeneous reaction conditions usually leads to heavy metal residues, and these catalysts are difficult to recover by simple post-treatment (J.B. Zimmerman, P.T. Anastas, H.C. Erythropel and W. Leitner, Science, 2020, 367, 397-400). In addition, the catalytic activity of Rh(III) catalysts is highly dependent on the coordination ligand, but the synthesis of these ligands is usually complex and costly (B. Ye and N. Cramer, Acc. Chem. Res., 2015, 48, 1308-1318).
[0003] Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have emerged as a new class of porous organic polymers with high crystallinity, periodic structure, tunability, and excellent stability (C. S. Diercks and O. M. Yaghi, Science, 2017, 355, eaal1585). Up to now, COFs have been widely applied in various chemical-related fields, especially in heterogeneous catalysis of organic transformations (J. Wang and S. Zhuang, Coord. Chem. Rev., 2019, 400, 213046). According to their working modes, the main roles of COFs in heterogeneous catalysis of organic transformations can be classified into the following types: (1) utilizing the acidity or basicity of preinstalled functional groups, COFs can act as heterogeneous Lewis acid or Lewis base catalysts to catalyze reactions (Q. Fang, S. Gu, J. Zheng, Z. Zhuang, S. Qiu and Y. Yan, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., 2014, 53, 2878-2882); (2) through physical or chemical interactions, COFs can act as heterogeneous supports to highly disperse metal or other catalytic sites in the reaction system (S.-Y. Ding, J. Gao, Q. Wang, Y. Zhang, W.-G. Song, C.-Y. Su and W. Wang, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 2011, 133, 19816-19822), and then catalyze reactions; (3) utilizing the extended π-conjugated system to absorb visible light, COFs can drive reactions through energy transfer (ET) or single electron transfer (SET) (H. Wang, H. Wang, Z. Wang, L. Tang, G. Zeng, P. Xu, M. Chen, T. Xiong, C. Zhou, X. Li, D. Huang, Y. Zhu, Z. Wang and J. Tang, Chem. Soc. Rev., 2020, 49, 4135-4165); (4) by introducing chiral organic units, COFs can form asymmetric catalytically active sites to drive stereoselective reactions (X. Wang, X. Han, J. Zhang, X. Wu, Y. Liu and Y. Cui, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 2016, 138, 12332-12335). These modes of action demonstrate four different application strategies of COFs in heterogeneous catalysis of organic reactions. Based on these strategies, the participation of COFs can enable various organic transformations that are usually carried out under homogeneous conditions to be achieved under heterogeneous conditions, and the reaction efficiency can be maintained. More importantly, COFs are almost insoluble in any organic solvent and can be easily separated by simple filtration or centrifugation to achieve excellent recyclability and reaction sustainability.
[0004] In summary, the application of COF catalysts in organic transformations is likely to be the most ideal path to achieve green chemistry. However, COF catalysts still face the following challenges in practical applications. First, imine-linked COFs are often used to catalyze organic transformations, but the stability of the C=N bond is poor in a strong acid environment, which is difficult to meet the actual demand. Second, for metal covalent organic frameworks (MCOF), the main method to fix the metal center is through the coordination of the metal with the organic monomer. Although replacing the coordination bond with a covalent bond can significantly enhance the stability of the material, in some reactions that rely on precise coordination, such as transition metal-catalyzed selective C-H bond functionalization, the excessive stability may limit the tunability of the catalytic center, affect the effective interaction with the substrate, and thus reduce the reaction efficiency. In addition, in existing studies, most COF catalysts are only used for a single type of reaction, and their universality and resistance in different types of reactions have not been fully explored.
[0005] Therefore, the development of a trivalent rhodium covalent organic framework catalyst with excellent thermal stability, chemical stability and multifunctionality can realize the sustainable thermal-driven or visible light-driven Rh(III) catalyzed C(sp 2 )-H bond functionalization, which is of great significance to promote the development of materials chemistry and organic synthesis chemistry.

The scanning range was 1.5° to 40°, and the scanning speed was 4° / min. The sharp diffraction peaks at 3.16°, 4.58°, 6.38°, 9.74°, 12.98°, and 23.86° were assigned to the (110), (020), (220), (330), (440), and (001) crystal planes, respectively. These PXRD results indicate that this covalent organic framework possesses high crystallinity.
[0045] 2. FT-IR spectrum
[0046] like Figure 2The Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrum of the covalent organic framework material RhCOF-SYNU-1 was collected on a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (Bruker IFS). The spectrum was scanned in the range of 4000 cm -1 - 400 cm -1 -1 at 1524 cm -1 -1, while the stretching vibration peak of -CF3 appeared at 1325 cm -1 -1. The above spectrum results confirmed the successful synthesis of the covalent organic framework.
[0047] 3. TGA spectrum
[0048] As Figure 3 The thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) spectrum of the covalent organic framework material RhCOF-SYNU-1 was collected on a thermogravimetric analyzer (STA449 F5 / QMS 403D). The spectrum was scanned in the range of 30℃-800℃ at a scanning rate of 10℃ / min. The spectrum showed that the thermal decomposition temperature of the material was higher than 350℃, which proved that the covalent organic framework had excellent thermal stability.

The spectrum showed that the carbon signal attributed to C=N clearly disappeared at δ = 156.9 ppm, which proved the successful conversion of the imine bond. Two signals produced in RhCOF-SYNU-1 at δ = 98.1 ppm and δ = 9.2 ppm were attributed to C directly connected to Rh and methyl C on the Cp* ring, respectively. The above results showed the successful synthesis of the covalent organic framework and the successful loading of Rh(III).
