A molecular catalyst, (sal)MoVI, and a heterogeneous catalyst, either Pd or Au nanoparticles (NPs), were integrated into one UiO-66 MOF microcrystal. The resulting dually functionalized catalysts, Pd@UiO-66-(sal)Mo and Au/UiO-66-(sal)Mo, have been utilized for a one-pot tandem reaction of H2O2 generation and selective liquid-phase alkene oxidation. The NPs serve as catalysts for the production of H2O2 from H2 and O2 gases, while the (sal)Mo moieties function as the oxidation catalyst. When the metal NPs are fully encapsulated within the MOF microcrystals, the alkene hydrogenation side reaction is largely suppressed, with a 6-fold decrease in the hydrogenation/oxidation product ratio for 5-bromo-1-cyclooctene favoring the epoxide as the major product. For Au/UiO-66-(sal)Mo, where the two catal sts are in close roximit on the MOF microcr stal the enhancement in oxidation productivity is increased by 10 times in comparison to the [Au/UiO-66-NH2 + UiO-66-sal(Mo)] physical mixture of the two singly functionalized MOFs.
