A metallosalen-based microporous organic polymer as a heterogeneous carbon-carbon coupling catalyst

Article abstract of DOI:10.1039/c3ta13128a

A novel microporous organic polymer framework with built-in metal sites in the skeleton has been synthesized by the Sonogashira-Hagihara reaction using salen-palladium as building units. The new microporous organic polymer possesses a high BET surface area, large pore volume, good stability and acts as a highly efficient robust recyclable heterogeneous catalyst towards carbon-carbon coupling reactions with low catalyst loading.
