Abstract

A novel open-framework copper borovanadate, with a 6-connected topological net and 1D 8-membered ring channels, has been obtained for the first time. The compound not only exhibits a unique -B₃ O₇ (OH)-Cu-B(OH)₃ linkage and features the largest ratio between TM²⁺ (Cu²⁺ ) and the borovanadate anion, but also possesses enhanced catalytic performance, high recyclability, and stability during the oxidation of benzylic C-H bonds.

Keywords: benzylic C−H bond; catalytic mechanism; enhanced catalytic activity; open-framework borovanadate.
