The use of secondary interactions between substrates and catalysts is a promising strategy to discover selective transition metal catalysts for atom-economy C?H bond functionalization. The most powerful catalysts are found via trial-and-error screening due to the low association constants between the substrate and the catalyst in which small stereo-electronic modifications within them can lead to very different reactivities. To circumvent these limitations and to increase the level of reactivity prediction in these important reactions, we report herein a supramolecular catalyst harnessing Zn???N interactions that binds to pyridine-like substrates as tight as it can be found in some enzymes. The distance and spatial geometry between the active site and the substrate binding site is ideal to target unprecedented meta-selective iridium-catalyzed C?H bond borylations with enzymatic Michaelis–Menten kinetics, besides unique substrate selectivity and dormant reactivity patterns.
A heterofunctional ligand approach for the preparation of high connectivity coordination polymers: Combining a "bridge" and "pillar" in one ligand

Two of the most successful strategies for the preparation of three-dimensional coordination polymers and MOFs are reticular synthesis and pillaring. Here we present a new approach which combines aspects of both of these by employing a heterofunctional dicarboxylic and dipyridyl ligand, 2,5-di(pyridin-4-yl)terephthalic acid (H2L). The reaction of H2L with zinc(ii) produces a non-interpenetrated 3D coordination polymer [ZnL(H2O)]n. This journal is
para-Selective C?H Borylation of (Hetero)Arenes by Cooperative Iridium/Aluminum Catalysis

para-Selective C?H borylation of benzamides and pyridines has been achieved by cooperative iridium/aluminum catalysis. A combination of iridium catalysts commonly employed for arene C?H borylation and bulky aluminum-based Lewis acid catalysts provides an unprecedented strategy for controlling the regioselectivity of C?H borylation to give variously substituted (hetero)arylboronates, which are versatile synthetic intermediates for complex multi-substituted aromatic compounds.
