Mono(phosphine)-M (M-PR3; M = Rh and Ir) complexes selectively prepared by postsynthetic metalation of a porous triarylphosphine-based metal-organic framework (MOF) exhibited excellent activity in the hydrosilylation of ketones and alkenes, the hydrogenation of alkenes, and the C-H borylation of arenes. The recyclable and reusable MOF catalysts significantly outperformed their homogeneous counterparts, presumably via stabilizing M-PR3 intermediates by preventing deleterious disproportionation reactions/ligand exchanges in the catalytic cycles.

Metal-Organic Frameworks Stabilize Mono(phosphine)-Metal Complexes for Broad-Scope Catalytic Reactions.

We report the stepwise, quantitative transformation of Ce(μ-O)(μ-OH)(OH)(OH) nodes in a new Ce-BTC (BTC = trimesic acid) metal-organic framework (MOF) into the first Ce(μ-O)(μ-OLi)(H)(THF)Li metal-hydride nodes that effectively catalyze hydroboration and hydrophosphination reactions. CeH-BTC displays low steric hindrance and electron density compared to homogeneous organolanthanide catalysts, which likely accounts for the unique 1,4-regioselectivity for the hydroboration of pyridine derivatives. MOF nodes can thus be directly transformed into novel single-site solid catalysts without homogeneous counterparts for sustainable chemical synthesis.
