Robust Bifunctional Core–Shell MOF@POP Catalyst for One-Pot Tandem Reaction

Abstract

A new bifunctional acid-base catalyst, core-shell UiO-66@SNW-1, with robust chemical and thermal stability, recyclability, and durable catalytic activity is synthesized by a convenient, universal strategy. Interestingly, this hybrid material can effectively catalyze deacetalization-Knoevenagel condensation reaction in the presence of excellent compartmentalization to spatially isolate opposing acid-base sites.
