Description
Summary:The Cover Feature shows the anchorage of a dioxo‐molybdenum complex to the bipyridine ligand of the MOF type UiO‐67 (Zr). In addition, a post‐synthetic exchange process of Zr for Ti was implemented to modify the photochemical properties maintaining the structure of the MOF. The dioxo‐Mo anchored to UiO‐67 allows the selective oxidation of a monoterpene (α‐pinene or R‐carvone) to the epoxide (100 %) by a photo‐stimulated Oxygen Atom Transfer (OAT) process using molecular oxygen as an oxidant and UV‐vis radiation. During the photo‐induced OAT reaction, a Mo(IV) species is formed, and the catalytically active unit is regenerated through its interaction with O2 generating the oxoperoxo‐Mo(VI) complex capable of transferring two oxygen atoms to the monoterpene under UV‐vis light.
