Ferrocene-based metal–organic framework nanosheets loaded with palladium as a super-high active hydrogenation catalyst

Abstract

Metal nanoparticle-incorporated metal–organic framework (MOF) nanosheets have been deemed as a promising heterogeneous catalyst. We report the synthesis of ultra-thin two-dimensional MOF nanosheets and loading of Pd nanoparticles through an in situ reduction strategy under mild conditions. The obtained Pd@MOF showed high catalytic activity in hydrogenation reactions.
