Anthraquinone-based metal-organic cages 1-Zn, 2-Zn and 2-Fe were constructed from ligands L¹ and L² (L¹=N², N⁷-di((2, 2'-bipyridin)-5-yl)-9, 10-dioxo-9, 10-dihydroanthracene-2, 7-dicarboxamide, L²=N², N⁷-bis(4-((2, 2'-bipyridin)-5-yl) phenyl)-9, 10-dioxo-9, 10-dihydroanthracene-2, 7-dicarboxamide) with Zn(Ⅱ) and Fe(Ⅱ) by coordination self-assembly. Single crystal X-ray diffraction and electrospray mass spectrometry showed that this series of complexes were M₂L₃-type metal-organic structures. The 1-Zn and 2-Zn supramolecular systems were successfully applied to explore the oxidation of toluene into benzaldehyde, and the experiments suggested that the formation of supramolecular host-guest compounds between anthraquinone-based metal-organic cages and toluene was the key to effective oxidation of toluene. The photooxidation performance of 1-Zn and 2-Zn was further investigated by the photooxidation reaction of aromatic alcohols, and the results indicated that the catalytic yields are affected by the electronic effects of the substituents and the size of the substrate molecules.
