Nanoporous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are self-assembled from organic linkers and inorganic connectors of metal ions/clusters, that they have interesting perspectives in the application of catalysis 1, 2. MOFs are also the ideal platform for post‐synthetic modification chemistry for improve catalytic activity 3. Herein, we have demonstrated of MIL-100(Cr) as an efficient open metal site Cr-MOFs towards the direct grafting of ethylene diamine (En) ligand and then complexation of that with oxodiperoxo molybdenum complexes (MoO(O2)2.DMF) to achieve MoO(O2)2@En/MIL-100(Cr) Fig 1. The proposed nanocatalyst was then applied for H2O2 mediated selective thioether oxidation with excellent conversion.
