Developing sustainable and powerful heterogeneous catalytic systems to convert sulfides into high-value sulfoxide products has become a particularly appealing field and an arduous challenge. In this work, two porous polyoxometalate-pillared metal-organic frameworks, formulated as H3n[Cu3(pidc)2(H2O)2.5]2[PW12O40]n·xH2O (n = 1.5, x = 6 for 1, n = 1, x = 12 for 2; and H3pidc = 2-(3-pyridinyl)-1H-imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid), were consciously manufacture and employed for heterogeneously catalyzed sulfide-sulfoxide transformation. Structural analysis shows that 1 and 2 exhibit similar porous frameworks with nearly identical two-dimensional metal-organic layers further pillared by tetradentate POM ligands with different coordination modes, which also result in the porosity of 1 being almost twice that of 2. In catalyzing the conversion of methyl phenyl sulfide (MPS) to methyl phenyl sulfoxide (MPSO), 1 can convert nearly 100% of MPS into MPSO within 30 min, while 2 achieved the similar results requires 50 min. The higher activity of 1 may be attributed to its larger channel that can provide more active sites and more efficient mass transfer process. Systematic structure-activity analyses and mechanistic studies revealed dual-reaction pathways driven by POM sites and metal sites assisted by the structural microenvironment.
