The dual function and role of iron(0) pentacarbonyl [Fe(CO)5] has been identified in gaseous CO-free carbonylative Suzuki-Miyaura cross-couplings, in which Fe(CO)5supplied COin situ, leading to the propagation of catalytically active Pd-Fe nanoparticles. Compared with typical carbonylative reaction conditions, CO gas (at high pressures), specialised exogenous ligands and inert reaction conditions were avoided. Our developed reaction conditions are mild, do not require specialised CO high pressure equipment, and exhibit wide functional group tolerance, giving a library of biaryl ketones in good yields.

A series of extended π-conjugated benzophenone analogs was synthesized through a facile Lewis-acid catalyzed Friedel-Crafts reaction in order to exploit the integral triplet state properties of benzophenone. Extending the π-conjugated plane of the phenyl ring of benzophenone allowed tuning of the excitation wavelength from the far-UV end (～260 nm) to the visible spectrum (～446 nm). Compared to benzophenone, significant red-shifts in the absorption (up to 450 nm in solution) with high photostability were observed for the synthesized benzophenone analogs. As is evident from the density functional theory calculations, expansion of the ring size of the aromatic part of the benzophenone analogs induces a decrease in the HOMO-LUMO gap. The considerable extension of the electron density to the carbonyl group in the LUMO substantiates the triplet nature associated with the benzophenone analogs. By virtue of the properties of the carbonyl functionality, an apparent increase in the triplet quantum yield (ΦT = 5.4% to 87.7%) was observed for the benzophenone analogs when compared to the corresponding bare polyaromatic hydrocarbon. The spin orbit coupling was computationally estimated for the benzophenone analogs to propose pathways for the observed intersystem crossing process. The plausibility to photoexcite the aromatic-ring-fused benzophenone frameworks for triplet activation in the visible range opens the door for a new class of materials for photonic application.

A zirconium-based metal-organic framework, an effective heterogeneous catalyst, has been developed for the Friedel-Crafts benzoylation of aromatic compounds under microwave irradiation. Constructed by a Zr(iv) cluster and a linker 1,4-bis(2-[4-carboxyphenyl]ethynyl)benzene (H2CPEB), the MOF, possessing large pores and high chemical stability, was appropriate for the enhancement of Lewis acid activity under microwave irradiation. The reaction studies demonstrated that the material could give high yields for a few minutes and maintain its reactivity and structure over several cycles.
