Abstract

An iron-incorporated Zn-MOF catalyst Zn-bpydc·Fe was fabricated for the oxidative cleavage of trans-anethole to p-anisaldehyde under facile conditions, under 1 atm of O₂. The Fe coordinated bipyridine serves as the catalytically active center inside the structural skeleton of Zn-MOFs. This work affords a new avenue for the mild oxidation of olefins.
