Abstract

Abstract: Even though numerous bioinspired catalysts have been developed, there remain huge gaps between the artificial and natural catalysts, because it is very difficult to imitate simultaneously the complicated constituents, structures, and synergistic effect of enzymes. We report herein a versatile metalloporphyrinic framework platform, which exhibits high efficiency in bioinspired catalysis, photocatalysis, and asymmetric catalysis. The catalytic properties are highly dependent on the tunable constituents and their cooperation, and are significantly superior to the corresponding molecular catalyst systems which lack the synergistic effects. Since there are numerous functional moieties that can readily be incorporated into the metalloporphyrinic framework platform, a myriad of applications can be simply realized by embedding different functional moieties. Abstract : Cats in the cradle : The functionalities of a metalloporphyrinic framework platform are systematically varied for highly efficient bioinspired catalysis, photocatalysis, and asymmetric catalysis. Incorporation of different active species in the pore space/matrices of the platform endows them with cooperative catalytic properties.
