Popis: As for heterogeneous catalysis, the activity and selectivity are two key factors for evaluating catalysts. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as selectivity regulators for catalytic reaction have attracted much attention, especially MOFs and metal nanoparticles (NPs) shelled structures, e.g., MOFs@NPs@MOFs. Nevertheless, the hydrophilic MOFs shell is challenging to gather hydrophobic reactants. Here, we innovate a new and viable approach to solve this problem. By employing conjugated micro- and mesoporous polymers with iron(Ⅲ) porphyrin (FeP-CMPs) as the new shell, MIL-101@Pt@FeP-CMP was fabricated firstly, which not only is hydrophobic and porous to enrich reactants, but also possesses iron sites to activate C=O bond and thereby regulate the selectivity for cinnamyl alcohol in hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde. Interestingly, MIL-101(Cr)@Pt@FeP-CMPsponge can reach ultrahigh turnover frequency (TOF) as high as 1516.1 h-1 with 97.3 % selectivity towards cinnamyl alcohol and 97.6 % conversion. The results open up a new avenue for decorating and protecting MOFs and will play an important role in both academia and industry.
