Abstract

Two new Cu-based MOFs have been effectively isolated and structurally characterized. Interestingly, it was found that the presence of an “open metal site” in compound 1 is able to effectively improve the catalytic hydrogenation performance, thus exhibiting 8-fold and 16-fold higher activity than compound 2 and CuO nanoparticles, respectively. In addition, compound 1 also displayed high thermal and water stability, and it could be reused more than eight times without an obvious decrease in activity, suggesting a way to enhance future catalysts with structural control.
