Ru(N^N)3‐Metalloligand Pillared Zr6‐Organic Layers for Aerobic Photooxidation

Abstract The stable Zr 6 ‐based coordination framework Ru‐1 was assembled via the linkage of Zr 6 ‐organic layers and photosensitized Ru(N^N) 3 ‐metalloligand. Based on its 1D open channel and the incorporation of Ru(N^N) 3 ‐photosensitizer, it can serve as a highly efficient heterogeneous catalyst in the aerobic photooxidation reactions, including photooxidation of sulfides, coupling of amines and oxidative hydroxylation of arylboronic acids. The stability and catalytic performance of recycled Ru‐1 was also explored.
