Abstract

Abstract Two lanthanide-based three dimensional metal–organic frameworks (MOF) viz.[Nd (HCOO) 3] n (1) and [Pr (HCOO) 3] n (2) have been synthesized and characterized. Both the compounds have similar structure. In this study we have demonstrated that the compounds are highly efficient in catalyzing epoxidation of various cyclic and linear olefinic substrates. MOF compounds are stable and recyclable under the reaction conditions. Notably, MOF ...
