Abstract

To effectively manufacture ZIF-8 and ZIF-67 with different amounts of copper, an environmentally friendly and efficient in-situ thermal (IST) method based on 2-methylimidazole (2-MIM) as an organic linker was used. This IST technique has various benefits in comparison to earlier research, such as a reaction environment devoid of solvents and additives, gentle temperature conditions, a simpler single-step process, no activation needs, and the use of the lowest precursor ratio (M/L). Because of their large specific surface area, good porosity, and structural stability, Al/ZIF-8 and Al/ZIF-67 exhibit extraordinary catalytic activity when used in click chemistry. This may be ascribed to the click catalysts. The characteristics that were required in the catalysts were accomplished via the process of optimizing variables including time, temperature, gas environment, and precursor ratio. In order to verify the characteristics of the produced catalysts, a number of different approaches for characterizing them were used. In general, this environmentally friendly synthesis approach offers a mechanism for the production of metal-organic frameworks that is both scalable and sustainable, and it does so without the need of extra activation or treatment. In addition, the click reaction was carried out using water as a solvent, which not only contributed to the ecologically benign character of the technique but also resulted in high yields. Water was used as a solvent. Therefore, this novel technique has significant promise not just for use in academic research but also in applications on a wide scale in the industrial sector.
