Metalloporphyrins metal-organic framework

The encapsulation of metalloporphyrins in the cavities of an indium imidazoledicarboxylate-based rho-zeolite-like metal-organic framework (rho-ZMOF) has been reported by Eddaoudi and coworkers [71]. The catalytic activity of this material was assessed by cyclohexane oxidation with TBHP as the oxidant, with cyclohexane conversion reaching 91.5% after 24 h at 65 °C. Cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone were the only observed products, suggesting that the investigated oxidation reaction is selective toward the desired products. Furthermore, upon reuse of the catalyst, no loss of crystaUinity, reactivity, and selectivity in up to 11 cycles was observed, while no leaching of the encapsulated metalloporphyrin into the product solution was detected by the UV-vis spectra.
