摘要
In this work,a novel in situ auto-reduction strategy was developed to encapsulate uniformly dispersed Pd clusters/nanoparticles in MIL-125-NH_(2).It is demonstrated that the amino groups in MIL-125-NH_(2)can react with formaldehyde to form novel reducing groups(-NH-CH_(2)OH),which can in situ auto-reduce the encapsulated Pd^(2+)ions to metallic Pd clusters/nanoparticles.As no additional reductants are required,the strategy limits the aggregation and migration of Pd clusters and the formation of large Pd nanoparticles via controlling the amount of Pd^(2+)precursor.When applied as catalysts in the hydrogenation of phenol in the aqueous phase,the obtained Pd(1.5)/MIL-125-NH-CH_(2)OH catalyst with highly dispersed Pd clusters/nanoparticles with the size of around 2 nm exhibited 100%of phenol conversion and 100%of cyclohexanone selectivity at 70℃ after 5 h,as well as remarkable reusability for at least five cycles due to the large MOF surface area,the highly dispersed Pd clusters/nanoparticles and their excellent stability within the MIL-125-NH-CH_(2)OH framework.
