Pd-functionalized Cu -BDC metal -organic frameworks with open metal sites represent effective interfacial catalysts for sustainable Suzuki coupling reactions

We recently reported on metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) containing Al³⁺ and Zn₄O clusters coordinated to amino-aromatic carboxylates as catalysts. Despite their advantages, these MOFs are less explored for direct metal complex grafting. Here, we demonstrate that copper terephthalate (Cu-BDC) serves as an effective open metal site MOF for grafting pyridyl-salicylimine, followed by palladium complexation. The resulting Pd@Cu-BDC/Py-SI MOF was successfully employed as a heterogeneous catalyst in Suzuki coupling reactions.
