title: A new layered metal-organic framework as a promising heterogeneous catalyst for olefin epoxidation reactions.
abstract: A new layered MOF material [Co(Hoba)(2)·2H(2)O] (1) (H(2)oba = 4,4'-oxybis(benzoic acid)) has been synthesized and used as a highly recyclable heterogeneous catalyst for olefin epoxidation reactions. Both high conversion (96%) and high selectivity of epoxide products (96%) are achieved.
