Catalytic activity of a CuGHK peptide-based porous material

Abstract

The CuGHK peptide-based porous material with a periodic distribution of pockets decorated with lysine side chain active sites was synthesized using a room temperature one-step method and used as a heterogeneous organocatalyst. The pockets are capable of benzaldehyde molecule uptake and show high activity in the Henry reaction with nitromethane. Mechanistic pathways are investigated using an integrative experimental/computational approach.
