Continuous photocatalytic C–C coupling achieved using palladium anchored to a covalent organic framework†
Abstract
We firstly reported a single-atom palladium photocatalyst, Pd-Ace-COF, for a continuous C–C coupling reaction. Under visible light irradiation, Pd-Ace-COF efficiently drives C–C coupling to form biphenyl with a >99% yield. Impressively, Pd-Ace-COF exhibits good stability and high activity in the continuous-flow reactor, highlighting its great potential for practical applications.
