Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention pertains to the preparation of metal covalent organic framework materials and their application in the field of photocatalytic organic conversion. Specifically, it relates to a method for preparing a thiophene-modified copper cluster metal covalent organic framework material. Background Technology

[0002] The overconsumption of traditional fossil fuels has led to increasing resource depletion and serious environmental problems. Developing green technologies that can control pollution has become an urgent need for achieving sustainable development. Photocatalysis technology can convert solar energy into chemical energy, showing great potential in alleviating the energy crisis and environmental pollution. Among these technologies, visible light-driven organic synthesis, with its advantages of mild conditions, low energy consumption, and environmental friendliness, provides a new pathway for the green synthesis of high-value-added chemicals.

[0003] However, photocatalysis technology still faces challenges such as high recombination rates of photogenerated carriers and limited visible light utilization efficiency, which restrict its practical application. Existing catalysts, such as semiconductor materials, covalent organic frameworks (COFs), and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), generally suffer from insufficient stability and unclear active sites.

[0004] In recent years, researchers have proposed constructing metal covalent organic frameworks (MCOFs) by anchoring metal species within COFs to combine the ordered structure of COFs with the catalytic function of metal sites, thereby achieving efficient photogenerated charge separation and controllable photocatalytic activity. Although MCOFs have shown great promise in catalysis and energy storage, their practical applications are still limited by insufficient photochemical stability and energy level mismatch between the metal and ligands. To address these issues, this study designed a thiophene-modified copper cluster-based MCOF material, aiming to improve its stability and catalytic performance through structural regulation, thereby promoting the development of photocatalytic synthesis technology. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems of low charge separation efficiency and high stability of traditional MCOFs, and to provide a thiophene-modified copper cluster metal covalent organic framework material, denoted as Cu3- α SPA-MCOF and Cu3- β SPA-MCOF. Two metal-covalent organic frameworks were then used in the study of thioamide cyclization reactions.

[0006] Preparation of Cu3- α SPA-MCOF and Cu3- β The SPA-MCOF method includes the following steps: (a) Synthesis of Cu3L, a cyclic trinuclear copper cluster unit Copper salt and pyrazole ligand were dissolved in a mixed solvent of organic and water. The homogenized solution was then transferred to a high-pressure reactor and heated at a specific temperature. After the reaction, needle-like crystals were obtained. Finally, under vacuum, a cyclic trinuclear copper cluster unit structure (denoted as Cu3L) was obtained.

[0011] A procedure for synthesizing 1,2,4-thiadiazole using M-COF: A certain amount of thioamide derivative and M-COF photocatalyst are weighed, and a certain volume of reaction solvent is measured and placed in a light-transmitting glass bottle. The solvent is fully dissolved to ensure uniform dispersion. Next, a certain volume of gas is introduced to maintain the stability of the reaction system. The glass bottle is placed under a light source, and the suspension is continuously stirred to promote the reaction. The mixture is irradiated at a certain temperature for a certain time to carry out the catalytic reaction; the specific time depends on the experimental design. After the experiment, the reaction system is processed, the product is collected and analyzed to confirm the success of the reaction and the catalytic effect of the photocatalyst. The reaction formula is as follows:

[0012] The oxidant mentioned is a highly reactive oxygen species that can be generated during organic transformation reactions and intervene in the aerobic organic reaction process.

[0016] The specific beneficial effects of this material are manifested as follows: (1) This invention introduces thiophene isomers into the side chains of MCOFs, wherein β (3-) Substitution of the thiophene unit results in lower steric hindrance and improved framework planarity, leading to the substitution of sulfur at the ortho-carbon position (thiophene). α The active sites of the carbon atoms are fully exposed, thereby enhancing their hole accumulation capacity and substrate oxidation activity; (2) The thiophene-modified copper cluster MCOF structure synthesized in this invention contains donor-acceptor type structural units. Wherein β The modification of the thiophene unit side chain by substituting the thiophene unit enhances the charge transfer between the donor and acceptor. The transfer of photogenerated electrons from the thiophene unit to the copper cluster unit realizes the spatial separation of electron-hole pairs, effectively suppresses electron-hole pair recombination, and improves the lifetime of photogenerated carriers. This exhibits superior charge separation efficiency and photocatalytic performance. (3) It maintains high catalytic activity and low catalyst loss in multiple cycles and has good stability (no less than 3 cycles of catalysis in Example 5, and the activity retention rate does not decrease significantly after the cycle).

The yield of the product 1,2,4-thiadiazoles and their derivatives can reach up to 78% (Example 3), showing excellent photocatalytic activity. Attached Figure Description

Then, 2 mL of MeCN solvent was added, and the reaction tube was sealed and purged with O2. The reaction system was placed in a white light reaction apparatus and stirred at room temperature for 18 h. After the reaction was complete, the solvent was removed by rotary evaporation to obtain the crude product. The crude product was purified by silica gel column chromatography to obtain a high-purity product, 3,5-bis(3-bromophenyl)-1,2,4-thiadiazole (19.0 mg, 48%, separation yield).

The graph shows that we successfully synthesized 3,5-bis(3-chlorophenyl)-1,2,4-thiadiazole.

[0066] Example 4-3 Synthesis of 3,5-di-o-tolyl-1,2,4-thiadiazole:

[0067] In a glass reaction flask, add 0.2 mmol of 2-methylthioformamide and 5 mg of Cu3- in sequence. αSPA-MCOF photocatalyst and 2 mL MeCN were used. The reaction flask was connected to an oxygen bulb, and the atmosphere was purged three times to ensure the reaction proceeded under an O2 atmosphere. The reaction flask was then placed in a white light reactor and stirred at room temperature for 18 h. After the reaction was complete, the solvent was removed by vacuum distillation. The crude product was purified by silica gel column chromatography to give 3,5-di-o-tolyl-1,2,4-thiadiazole (15.5 mg, 58%, isolated yield).

As can be seen from the figure, we have successfully synthesized 3,5-di-o-tolyl-1,2,4-thiadiazole.

[0069] Example 5 Cyclic stability test: Cu3- β SPA-MCOF was used as a photocatalyst for the photocatalytic organic conversion of thioamides and their derivatives in Example 3, producing 1,2,4-thiadiazoles and their derivatives. After the reaction was complete, the catalyst could be separated from the reaction system by a simple filtration operation, and after washing and drying with dichloromethane, it could be used directly for subsequent reactions without activation. Systematic cyclic stability assessment showed that the catalyst maintained high activity in at least three consecutive repeated experiments.

[0070] Figure 17 For metal covalent organic framework Cu3- β PXRD patterns before and after SPA-MCOF cycling; experimental results show that after three cycles, the above-mentioned reaction still maintains high photocatalytic activity. Furthermore, the Cu3- recovered after three cycles... β The PXRD of SPA-MCOF remained essentially unchanged, indicating that Cu3- β SPA-MCOF photocatalysts exhibit good stability.

[0071] In summary, this method provides a thiophene-modified copper cluster metal covalent organic framework photocatalyst and its application in photocatalytic organic conversion. The prepared Cu3- α SPA-MCOF and Cu3- β SPA-MCOF was applied to the organic conversion of thioamides and their derivatives, catalyzing the production of 1,2,4-thiadiazoles and their derivatives with a separation efficiency of up to 78%. This catalyst exhibited highly efficient photocatalytic performance and good stability.
