(2E, 6E)-4-methyl-2, 6-bis(pyridin-3-ylmethylene)cyclohexan-1-one (L₁) and 4-methyl-2, 6-bis[(E)-4-(pyridin-4-yl)benzylidene]cyclohexan-1-one (L₂) were synthesized and combined with isophthalic acid (H₂IP), then under solvothermal conditions, to react with transition metals achieving four novel metal organic frameworks (MOFs): [Zn(IP)(L₁)]_n (1), {[Cd(IP)(L₁)]·H₂O}_n (2), {[Co(IP)(L₁)]·H₂O}_n (3), and [Zn(IP)(L₂)(H₂O)]_n (4). MOFs 1-4 have been characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, powder X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetry, and elemental analysis. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction shows that MOF 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system with space group P2₁/n, and MOFs 2-4 belong to the triclinic system with the P1 space group. 1-3 are 2D sheet structures, 2 and 3 have similar structural characters, whereas 4 is a 1D chain structure. Furthermore, 1-3 exhibited certain photocatalytic capability in the degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) and pararosaniline hydrochloride (PH). 4 could be used as a heterogeneous catalyst for the Knoevenagel reaction starting with benzaldehyde derivative and malononitrile. 4 could promote the reaction to achieve corresponding products in moderate yields within 3 h. Moreover, the catalyst exhibited recyclability for up to three cycles without significantly dropping its activity. A mechanism for MOF 4 catalyzed Knoevenagel condensation reaction of aromatic aldehyde and malononitrile has been initially proposed.
