In Co-catalyzed hydroformylation, where substantial phosphine rearrangement is required to stabilize the precatalyst and structures along the catalytic cycle, MOF-heterogenized phosphines reproduce homogeneous performance while offering recyclability and minimizing leaching (< 0.7 ppm Co).

Our new preprint describes a 1-step method for the secure heterogenization of structurally diverse phosphine ligands within spacious MOF super-cages.

#newpaper Preferential 5-endo-trig and 5-exo trig cyclizations of silyl radicals with a MOF-based Rh(II) porphyrin catalyst enables chemoselective 1,3-diol formation for olefins that contain multiple olefins: www.thieme-connect.com/products/ejo...
Congrats to all authors (Gupta, Deng, Ding, Qiu)!
Our mechanistic proposal rationalizes why MOF-supported Rh(II) porphyrins are thermal hydrofunctionalization catalysts while molecular analogues prove unreactive. It also showcases the cooperation that can be achieved within a MOF matrix which precisely arranges Rh(II) centers in 3D space.

Congratulations Marco!
The graphic shows three regioisomers of diazines in the top row and shows a sketch of a pill with an attached arene. The latter alludes to the fact that the ability to prepare individual regioisomers permits researchers to optimize the position of nitrogen atoms in arene rings for applications in medicinal chemistry. The bottom row shows simplistic representations of four different structomers of metal-organic frameworks. All four structomers have the same composition and are isostructural, but differ in how "active" and "inactive" metal sites are arranged within the structure. Selective preparation of individual structomers thus permits one to optimize metal arrangements in extended structures.
Our work on the development of structomers is now available as a preprint: chemrxiv.org/engage/chemr...
