Co-N 2 P 2 Single-Atom Catalysts Enable Efficient α-Alkylation of Aromatic Ketones

Abstract

A molecular-to-atomic transformation of Co(PPh₃)₂Cl₂ on a covalent triazine polymer through carbonization yields Co-N₂P₂ single-atom sites on carbon matrix. The synergistic P/N coordination fine-tunes the Co electronic structure, enabling highly efficient α-alkylation of aromatic ketones.
