Abstract
Two urea-based porous organic frameworks, UOF-1 and UOF-2, were synthesized through a urea-forming condensation of 1,3,5-benzenetriisocyanate with 1,4-diaminobenzene and benzidine, respectively. UOF-1 and UOF-2 possess good hydrophilic properties and high scavenging ability for palladium. Their palladium polymers, PdII/UOF-1 and PdII/UOF-2, exhibit high catalytic activity and selectivity for Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reactions and selective reduction of nitroarenes in water. The catalytic reactions can be efficiently performed at room temperature. Palladium nanoparticles with narrow size distribution were formed after the catalytic reaction and were well dispersed in UOF-1 and UOF-2. XPS analysis confirmed the coordination of the urea oxygen atom with palladium. SEM and TEM images showed that the original network morphology of UOF-1 and UOF-2 was maintained after palladium loading and catalytic reactions.
