Zr-hydroxamate metal-organic framework with intrinsic chelating sites for postsynthetic Pd metalation and Suzuki-Miyaura catalysis
Abstract
A highly crystalline and robust Zr-hydroxamate metal-organic framework (MOF) was prepared from a pyrazine-based ligand, featuring abundant N,N’ chelating sites. High-degree Pd(II) metalation of the MOF was achieved through straightforward postsynthetic modification, with detailed coordination chemistry elucidated spectroscopically. The Pd-functionalized MOF was then studied as a heterogeneous Suzuki-Miyaura catalyst, through combined experimental/computational methods.
