The invention provides a heterogeneous catalyst COFBMTD-PY as well as a preparation method and application thereof, belongs to the technical field of photocatalysts, and can solve the problems that the current
thioether oxidation reaction needs to be operated under a high-temperature condition, the dosage of the catalyst is large, an additional cocatalyst is needed, and in the
actual use process, most of the catalysts cannot be recycled and are not easy to recover, so that the cost is low, and the like. The loss of the catalyst is serious, and the reaction waste is increased. The heterogeneous catalyst COFBMTD-PY disclosed by the invention is constructed by taking 1, 3, 6, 8-
tetra-(p-aminophenyl)-
pyrene and 2 ', 5'-bis ((1H-
imidazole-1-yl) methyl)-[1, 1 ': 4', 1 ''-
terphenyl]-4, 4''-diformaldehyde as units, and the heterogeneous catalyst COFBMTD-PY has a
structural formula shown in the specification. The heterogeneous catalyst COFBMTD-PY disclosed by the invention can be applied to
catalysis of oxidation reaction of methyl
thioether and derivatives thereof, and has the advantages that efficient conversion of
thioether is realized, reaction selectivity is precisely regulated and controlled,
sulfone generation caused by excessive oxidation is avoided, a cocatalyst or extra
oxygen is not needed, and the catalyst can be repeatedly utilized.
