Size-controlled crystalline basic nanoporous coordination polymers of MIL-101 (Cr3(H2O)2O(bdc)3.nH2O ) were studied as catalyst in the oxidation of sulphide to sulfoxide. MIL-101 was found to be an efficient, selective and waste-free green solid base for the oxidating reaction of sulfide. The catalyst can be isolated from the reaction mixture and reused for several times. Active sites of MIL-101 which are effective in the oxidation were founded and studied in this work.
