Immobilized palladium complex on to the OMS-Cu (BDC) metal-organic framework: sustainable development for the Heck coupling reaction

Within the field of nanoporous architecturing 1, metal organic framework (MOF) has attracted increased interest in the recent years because of their unique structural properties including high porosity, surface area and tenability 2. MOFs are also the ideal platform for post synthetic modification chemistry to achieve multi-purpose materials 3. I this communication, Pd ions were successfully immobilized within the pores of the open metal site (OMS) MOFs with Schiff-base (2-Py-SI) grafted in OMS-Cu (BDC) Fig 1. The proposed nanocatalyst is found to be very active, reusable, stable, an excellent reactivity and selectivity for Heck coupling reaction under very mild and sustainable reaction condition.
