加氢是现代化工产业中的一类主干反应,广泛应用于精细化学品、药物、食品、染料、功能聚合物及香料等制造产业中.高效催化剂的引入使得加氢反应能够在相对温和的条件下还原各类不饱和化合物.金属催化剂在加氢反应中活性高,所需的反应温度较低,适用性广,但是容易和S,N,As和P等元素结合而"中毒"失去反应活性.金属氧化物催化剂和金属硫化物催化剂具有一定的抗毒性,但活性相对较差,通常需要采用高温高压的反应条件,对催化剂本身和反应器的要求较为苛刻.传统催化剂在反应中具有一定的局限性,所以亟需开发新一代高效的加氢催化剂,在保证高活性和高选择性催化效果的同时,降低对能源的消耗和对环境的负面影响.金属有机骨架(MOFs)作为一种新型的多孔材料在过去二十年中受到相当大的关注,并在催化、气体存储和分离、传感器、发光材料和药物输送等众多领域的应用中表现出卓越的性能.利用MOF材料良好的相容性,将MOF和其它功能材料结合形成新的复合材料可以在更大程度上扩大MOF材料的应用领域.与传统的催化剂相比,MOF基材料具有优异的物理化学特性和结构可调性,通过合理的设计能够满足不同的催化加氢过程:(1)MOF基催化剂具有多样且特异性的活性位点.除了组成MOF材料的金属离子/簇和功能有机配体之外,MOF材料可通过封装其他活性物质或者被活性物质包裹等方式引入其他类型的催化位点,进一步扩大MOF基催化剂在不同催化加氢中的适应性.此外,不同的活性位点之间的协同作用又能特异性地促进反应的进行,对提高反应的选择性起到重要的作用.(2)活性位点的尺寸大小和空间分布可以被有效控制.这能影响到催化剂在催化反应过程中的活性和选择性,并且通过MOF材料的限域效应,同时能增强活性位点的稳定性和耐久性.(3)
Metal-organic-framework (MOF)-based materials with novel physicochemical properties have emerged as promising catalysts for various hydrogenation reactions. In addition to metal clusters and multifunctional organic ligands, MOF-based catalysts can incorporate other functional species, and thus provide various active sites for hydrogenation processes. The structural properties of the catalysts play significant roles in enhancing the interactions among the reactants, products, and catalytic sites, which can be rationally designed. Because of the synergistic effects between the ac-tive sites and the structural properties, MOF-based catalysts can achieve higher activities and selec- tivities in hydrogenation reactions than can be obtained using traditional heterogeneous catalysts. This review provides an overview of recent developments in MOF-based catalysts in the hydro-genation of alkenes, alkynes, nitroarenes, cinnamaldehyde, furfural, benzene, and other compounds. Strategies for improving the catalytic performances of MOF-based catalysts are discussed as well as the different active sites and structural properties of the catalysts.
