Ho Chi Minh City, January 2015 Tran Van Thuan i ABSTRACT The utilization of both ligand 1,4-dicarboxylic acid and 4,4-bipyridine preparing for the Cu2(BDC)2(BPY) were implemented by solvothermal method.
The Cu3(BTC)2 also was synthesized according to previous works. The structure of this materials were characterized using several various techniques, including X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), inductively coupled plasma (ICP) analysis, and nitrogen physisorption measurements. The Cu2(BDC)2(BPY) and Cu3(BTC)2 were used as heterogeneous catalysts for the oxidative amination reactions. Several essential factors including solvent, temperature, molar ratio, catalyst concentration and oxidant component were rigorously investigated in order to establish optimal circumstances of reaction.
In leaching test, the catalyst was facilely separated from the reaction by centrifugation. The catalyst recyclability was also specifically investigated and the reaction could be reused several times without a significant degradation in catalytic activity. Under optimal reaction, reactions scope with respect to coupling partners were also determined. The products were confirmed by GC- MS, 1H NMR and 13C NMR.

Metal – Organic Frameworks (MOFs) emerged as a new class of porous solid materials, as well as, have unprecedentedly evolved into a potential research field.4,5 Although the first reports on MOFs began from the late 1950s,6 Robson and co-workers,7 followed by Kitagawa et al.8 also discovered many innovative structures, there was no evidence that both official definitions and considerable characteristics were indicated. At the beginning 1990s, Yaghi and co-workers 9, and then Ferey et al.10 much contributed toward boost in applicable extent.
Thus, new terms of Materials Institute Lavoisier (MILs), Secondary Building Units (SBUs), Meso–Porous Metal–Organic Framework (meso – MOF) and Pore size were integrally described. 11 Moreover, several MOFs are nowadays industrially prepared and marked by BASF, such as ZIF-9 (Zeolite Imidazolate Frameworks, BASOLITETM Z2100) and Cu3(BTC)2 (HKUST-1, MOF-199, BASOLITETM C300). Some also commercially available through Aldrich.12 In addition, reticular chemistry forms and predetermines thousands of structure in proportion to topology in which unit is repeated and held together by strong bonds.13 This is also one of the most highlighting and advanced features in comparison with traditional materials.
