In this study, mesoporous amorphous bimetallic metal-organic framework materials (Cu-Fe-MOF) were synthesized through a ligand competition-mediated strategy for use as efficient catalysts. The synthesis involved adjusting the molar ratio between two precursors-1,1'-ferrocenedicarboxylic acid (Fc) and anhydrous copper chloride (CuCl2)—followed by the addition of dimethylformamide (DMF) and acetic acid as modulators. Four distinct samples were prepared with Cu-to-Fe precursor molar ratios of 2:8, 6:5, 8:2, and 9:1 to systematically investigate the compositional effects on catalytic performance.
