Highly Active Heterogeneous Pdcl2/Mof Catalyst For Suzuki-Miyaura Cross-Coupling Reactions Of Aryl Chloride

The exploration of highly efficient Pd/MOF heterogeneous catalyst system for the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling (SMC) reactions of aryl chlorides is still challenging. Herein, a PdCl2/UiO-67-bpydc was successfully synthesized by immobilizing a low amount of PdCl(2)onto the zirconium-based MOF (UiO-67-bpydc). PdCl2/UiO-67-bpydc showed excellent catalytic performance and good recycle ability for the SMC reaction of aryl chlorides under an ambient condition. Furthermore, PdCl2/UiO-67-bpydc retains the high catalytic activity even after five cycles, and exhibited excellent substrate size selectivity.
