Abstract

Abstract : A microporous MOF functionalized with in situ generated NHC-Cu(i )Cl units (1 ), which can catalyze β-boration of α, β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds, has been synthesized. Abstract : A microporous metal–organic framework functionalized with in situ generated NHC-CuCl units (1 ) has been successfully synthesized from a novel imidazolium-containing ligand. In particular, the MOF1 can catalyze β-boration of α, β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds, while the isoreticular version of1 (1-im ) modified with only imidazolium moiety cannot. This work demonstrates for the first time the heterogeneous catalysis of NHC-Cu(i )Cl within a MOF solid.
