简介

In the past decades, catalysts have   massively revolutionized chemical industry and extensive research has been   done to develop new catalytic materials and further increase the performance   of chemical manufacturing processes. Nevertheless, the production of   by-products, the neutralization of unreacted starting materials and the   employment of toxic solvents are serious drawbacks that need to be addressed.   In order to tackle these shortcomings, is it possible to embrace Green   Chemistry principles of preventing pollution at the molecular level,   eliminating the use of hazardous chemicals and solvents, and with the use of   more efficient catalytic materials that can be recycled. Thus, the use of   heterogeneous catalysts have grown exponentially, given their ease of   separation and recyclability compared to homogenous systems. Zeolitic   imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) are a new sub-class of metal-organic frameworks   (MOFs) composed of metal ions and imidazolate ligands able to generate an   ordered 3D porous structure comparable to commercially available zeolites.

   On this research thesis, the synthesis and application of ZIFs and   ZIF-derived materials are validated with particular emphasis on their green   chemistry application in organic dyes photodegradation and direct synthesis   of cyclic carbonates starting from epoxides and CO2.
