Heterometallic coordination polymers: syntheses, structures and heterogeneous catalytic applications

Abstract

Heterometallic coordination polymers function as heterogeneous catalysts for various organic transformation reactions via preferential interaction with the substrates.

Promising new catalytic properties of a Co (II)‐carboxamide complex and its derived Co3O4 nanoparticles for the Mizoroki‐Heck and the Epoxidation reactions

“…Initially, the electronic nature of the substituent on the olefin was investigated: various olefins containing electron-donating groups such as methoxy or methyl groups provided the respective products in excellent yields and under mild conditions. Aryl halides substituted with a nitro group at the para position were more reactive in the coupling reaction than those without substitution ( Table 3, entries [22][23][24][25][26][27][28]. Aryl chlorides are suitable substrates for the MH coupling reaction, because they are extensively available compared to their bromides and iodide analogs.…”

Lanthanide induced variability in localised CoII geometries of four triangular L3Co3IILnIII complexes

“…1–8 While mononuclear and homometallic polynuclear complexes are among the most common, there is a great interest in heterometallic complexes with predictable nuclearities and topologies. Heterometallic polynuclear complexes have been explored in many fields of science from antibacterial agents 9–11 and molecular machines, 12–15 to heterogenous catalysts, 16–19 molecular magnets, 20–25 and spintronic devices. 26–30…”

Argentophilic Interactions in Two AgI Complexes of 3-(2-(Pyridin-4-yl)ethyl)pentane-2,4-dione, a Promising Ditopic Ligand

“…The increasing interest in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is not only due to the structural diversity and inherent beauty of this class of compounds but also to their physical properties. The organic linkers may connect nodes with attractive magnetic [1,2] or optical [3] features, and often a large inner surface area enables a variety of applications such as gas storage [4] or catalysis [5][6][7][8]. The incorporation of more than a single cation type as nodes can obviously increase the range of accessible coordination polymers and in principle enable more potential applications.…”
