Project Overview: Investigation of the catalytic activity of novel metal-organic frameworks for organic transformations

The project aims to explore the catalytic activity of novel metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for organic transformations. Metal-organic frameworks are a class of porous materials with high surface areas, tunable porosities, and diverse chemical functionalities, making them promising candidates for catalytic applications.

The catalytic activity of MOFs depends on the metal center, ligands, and pore structure, which can be tailored for specific reactions. The research will focus on synthesizing and characterizing new MOFs with different metal centers and ligands to investigate their catalytic performance in various organic transformations, such as oxidation, reduction, C-C coupling, and C-H activation reactions.

The project will utilize a combination of techniques including synthesis, crystallography, spectroscopy, surface area analysis, and catalytic testing to evaluate the catalytic activity of the synthesized MOFs. The aim is to understand the structure-function relationships of MOFs for catalysis and develop new catalysts with improved activity and selectivity for organic transformations.

Overall, the project seeks to advance the field of catalysis by exploring the potential of MOFs as heterogeneous catalysts for organic reactions. The insights gained from this research can lead to the development of more efficient and sustainable catalytic processes for various chemical transformations, with potential applications in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and materials industries.
