Oxidative CH Activation of Non-Activated Alkanes Using Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) as Catalysts
• Applicable for large scale chemical processes• MOF catalysts are easily produced and can be recycled• Catalysts have high chemical and temperature stability
• Catalyzing chemical reactions to generate acetic acid and alcohols
Dr. Omar Yaghi and colleagues at UCLA have developed two Vanadium-containing metal organic frameworks that can serve as a catalyst in the synthesis of acetic acid from methane. These catalysts give up to 70% yield and 100% selectivity. This is the first non-precious metal containing catalyst for such reactions.
