To achieve this goal a few different strategies are examined. Firstly, using a multivariate strategy, iodine- functionalized Zr and Al-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are prepared. These MOFs were found to be active heterogeneous catalysts for the oxidation of phenol derivatives. Secondly, a combination of a multivariate and isoreticular approach was employed to ensure an ideal balance between the internal surface area and catalytic site in the pores of the frameworks. The impact of increased pore size and the catalytic activity of the MOFs on the oxidation of more challenging phenol derivatives is discussed. The catalytic oxidation using hypervalent iodine supported metal-organic frameworks is further extended to flow chemistry in consideration of the concepts of green chemistry. Lastly, iodine-containing molecules with the ability to switch their electronic properties in response to an external stimulus are explored. These systems potentially can be used for catalysis purposes in the near future. v Texas Tech University, Babak Tahmouresilerd, August 2020 LIST OF ACRONYMS CSD: Cambridge Structural Database 7 DMF: N,N-dimethylformamide 8 EHS: Environmental Health & Safety 157 FTIR: Fourier-transform infrared 9 H2BDC: 1,4-benzene dicarboxylic acid 22 Hyperol: Urea/hydrogen peroxide complex 45 IBA: 2-iodosobenzoic acid 2 IBD: Iodobenzene dichloride 2 IBDA: Iodobenzene diacetate 2 IBX: 2-iodoxybenzoic acid 2 mCPBA: Metachloroperbenzoic acid 3 MOF: Metal-organic framework 5 Oxone: Potassium peroxymonosulfate 3 SEM: Scanning electron microscope 45 Thr: Threonine 174 vi Texas Tech University, Babak Tahmouresilerd, August 2020 LIST OF TABLES 1.1.
