A 3D Ln-MOF (Ce-4L) has been designed and synthesized. Ce-4L, which has both Lewis acid sites and Lewis base site in the pores, can be used as functional heterogeneous catalyst for cyanosilylation and Knoevenagel condensation.
Synthesis of a sulfonated magnetic cellulose nanocomposite to be applied in Knoevenagel and Thrope–Ziegler reactions. The catalyst promotes a sufficient and facile synthesis methodology for obtaining high-yield products.
Carbon–carbon (C–C) bond formation can be accomplished by various highly chemo-, regio- and/or stereoselective enzymatic reactions, sometimes through the catalytic promiscuity of enzymes.
A rare cadmium-containing windmill-like heteropolyoxoniobate macrocycle has been successfully synthesized with stable 1-D cyclic cluster aggregates.
A dual-active MOF (CSMCRI-KNC′) was successfully employed for the detection of the explosive FOX-7 and as a heterogeneous catalyst for the synthesis of barbituric acid and its derivatives under mild conditions.
