Bottom-up approach to engineer two covalent porphyrinic frameworks as effective catalysts for selective oxidation†
Abstract
Two kinds of novel functional covalent organic frameworks were assembled with the porphyrin building block and terephthalaldehyde or squaric acid via bottom-up approach. Here, our reported covalent porphyrinic frameworks with coordinated manganese(III) ions (Mn–CPF-1 and Mn–CPF-2) present promising catalytic properties for the selective oxidation of olefins.
