Abstract
Two-dimensional metal organic frameworks (2D MOFs), characterized by their atomic-level thickness, ultrahigh specific surface area, and highly exposed active sites, offer an ideal platform for constructing advanced heterogeneous catalysts. Herein, chiral BINAP-derived ligands were successfully immobilized within a 2D MOF scaffold, followed by metallization with rhodium (Rh) active species to construct a well-defined heterogeneous asymmetric catalyst. The obtained Zr-BTB-L-Rh retained the intact hierarchical porous structure with atomically dispersed Rh active species, providing an excellent “quasi-homogeneous” environment for efficient reactant transport. In the asymmetric Hayashi-Miyaura addition of arylboronic acids to 2-cyclohexen-1-one, the catalyst demonstrated exceptional performance with over 99% yield and over 99% enantioselectivity (ee). Remarkably, it enabled a turnover number (TON) up to 99 times that of its homogeneous counterpart at low catalyst loading. Moreover, the catalyst could be easily recycled and maintains stable activity and enantioselectivity over five consecutive runs.
期刊介绍:
Catalysis Letters aim is the rapid publication of outstanding and high-impact original research articles in catalysis. The scope of the journal covers a broad range of topics in all fields of both applied and theoretical catalysis, including heterogeneous, homogeneous and biocatalysis.
The high-quality original research articles published in Catalysis Letters are subject to rigorous peer review. Accepted papers are published online first and subsequently in print issues. All contributions must include a graphical abstract. Manuscripts should be written in English and the responsibility lies with the authors to ensure that they are grammatically and linguistically correct. Authors for whom English is not the working language are encouraged to consider using a professional language-editing service before submitting their manuscripts.
