Metal organic framework-immobilized cr-monophosphine complex catalyzed ethylene pentamerization to selectively produce 1-decene

A method of producing a Metal Organic Framework (MOF)-immobilized Cr-monophosphine complex catalyzed ethylene pentamerization to selectively produce 1-decene, the method comprising:

• synthesizing mono-(diphenylphosphino) amino terepthalic acid (L1),
• sonicating an amount of metal-organic framework (MOF) materials and mono-(diphenylphosphino) amino terepthalic acid (L1) in an amount of concentrated D2SO4 until all of the amount of metal-organic framework (MOF) materials disintegrate and a brown heterogenous solution forms,
• adding an amount of (CD3)2SO to the brown heterogenous solution to result in a resulting solution,
• sonicating the resulting solution until a homogenous pale yellow solution forms,
• using the pale yellow solution in selective catalytic conversion of ethylene into 1-decene.
