Aromatic para-functionalized NCN pincer compounds tethered to a triethoxysilane moiety through a carbamate linkage were immobilized on ordered MCM-41 molecular sieve using a grafting process. The acquired immobilized organometallic pincer complexes were synthesized in high yields with no complex degradation and characterized by IR sprctroscopy, elemental content analysis. Nitrogen physisorption, XRD and TEM revealed that the mesoporous structure was retained during the immobilization process. The hybrid materials were applied as Lewis acid catalysts in the α-arylation reaction between aryl ketones and aryl halides, with the yield up to 95%. The tendency to form mono- or di-arylated products was investigated and the catalyst could be easily recovered and reused in five runs without a significant loss in its activity.
