Synthesis of phenol-tagged ruthenium alkylidene olefin metathesis catalysts for robust immobilisation inside metal-organic framework support

Two new unsymmetrical N-heterocyclic carbene ligand (uNHC)-based ruthenium complexes featuring phenolic OH function were obtained and fully characterised. The more active one was then immobilised on the metal-organic framework (MOF) solid support (Al)MIL-101-NH. The catalytic activity of such a hete...

Description
Summary:Two new unsymmetrical N-heterocyclic carbene ligand (uNHC)-based ruthenium complexes featuring phenolic OH function were obtained and fully characterised. The more active one was then immobilised on the metal-organic framework (MOF) solid support (Al)MIL-101-NH. The catalytic activity of such a heterogeneous system was tested, showing that, while the heterogeneous catalyst is less active than the corresponding homogeneous catalyst in solution, it can catalyse selected olefin metathesis reactions, serving as the proof-of-concept for the immobilisation of catalytically active complexes in MOFs using a phenolic tag.
