Metal oganic frameworks (MOFs) as porous coordination polymers are nanoporous materials prepared using the well-established principles of coordination chemistry [1, 2]. MOF-based structures demonstrate various advantages such as having high surface areas and simplicity of processability, and being tuneable and stable alternative materials [2, 3]. Herein, we report the synthesis of open metal site MOFs of Cu3(BTC)2 with microbelt morphology and a study of the catalytic oxidation of organic sulfides Figure 1. The proposed catalyst was found to be an efficient, selective and waste-free green heterogeneous co-catalyst for the green H2O2 catalytic oxidation of sulfides.
