Core–Shell–Satellite Au@CeO2–Pd Plasmonical Photocatalysts for Suzuki–Miyaura Coupling Reaction

ABSTRACTIntegration of localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) metallic nanocrystals into photocatalysis is an intriguing approach for light‐driven organic transformations. However, uncertain direction of hot carriers is a grand challenge, which fails to take full advantage of the LSPR excitation. In this work, core–shell gold@ceria nanosphere–supported segregated palladium species (Au@CeO2–Pd) have developed to steer the light absorption capability and charge carrier migration. Under simulated solar light irradiation, the core–shell–satellite Au@CeO2–Pd exhibited efficient light harvesting and colossal activity in the Suzuki coupling reaction. The plasmon‐induced hot electrons overpassed the Schottky barrier at the Au@CeO2 interfaces and migrated from Au core to CeO2 shell accordingly. Subsequently, the photogenerated electrons and hot electrons migrated from Au@CeO2 core–shells to Pd, which acted as an electron acceptor. Detailed photocatalytic mechanism studies revealed that both photoexcited electrons and holes were the main active species involved in the photocatalytic Suzuki coupling reaction process. In particular, the diphenyl yield over Au@CeO2–Pd catalyst was ~1.7 times higher than that of core–shell–satellite Au@SiO2–Pd, where a 19‐nm‐thick SiO2 shell was introduced to prevent the migration of hot electrons. This distinctly certified that the hot electrons transfer in the core–shell–satellite Au@CeO2–Pd under illumination played an important role to drive Suzuki reaction. Overall, this design of core–shell–satellite Au@CeO2–Pd plasmonic photocatalyst has the potential in the field of photo‐driven organic transformations.

Conjugated Polymers Based on Carbazole and Tridentate Ligands as the "On-Off-On" Fluorescent Probes for Detection of Ni (II) Ion and Lysine.

Two novel conjugated polymers (polymer 1 and polymer 2) containing trisheterocyclic systemsand carbazole as the copolymerization unit were synthesized by the Suzuki coupling reaction and characterized using NMR spectroscopy and other methods. 4'-(3,5-Dibromophenyl)-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine and 2,2'-(4-(3,5-dibromophenyl)pyridine-2,6-diyl)dithiazole were used as the recognizing units of the two polymers respectively. The polymers show blue-violet fluorescence when dissolved in THF. The ability of the polymers to identify anions and metal ions was investigated by fluorescence sensing tests. It was found that I- not only quenched the fluorescence but also undergone some redshift. Ni (II) efficiently quenched the fluorescence of the polymers, and polymer 2 recognized Ni2+ with higher specificity. UV-visible absorption titration experiments showed that Ni2+ formed complexes with the polymers. In addition, the formation of complexes between Ni2+ and polymers were used for the detection of amino acids, and it was found that lysine could regenerate the fluorescence of [polymer 1-Ni2+] and [polymer 2-Ni2+] with 99% fluorescence recovery.

Pd EnCat™ 30 Recycling in Suzuki Cross-Coupling Reactions

Pd EnCat™ 30 is a palladium catalyst broadly used in several hydrogenation and cross-coupling reactions. It is known for its numerous beneficial features, which include high-yielding performance, easy recovery, and reusability. However, the available data regarding its recyclability in Suzuki coupling reactions are limited to a few reaction cycles and, therefore, fail to explore its full potential. Our work focuses on investigating the extent of Pd EnCat™ 30 reusability in Suzuki cross-coupling reactions by measuring its performance according to isolated yields of product. Our findings demonstrate that Pd EnCat™ 30 can be reused over a minimum of 30 reaction cycles, which is advantageous in terms of cost reduction and more sustainable chemical production.

Recent Updates on Pd‐Incorporated Ionic Liquids Catalyzed Suzuki Cross‐Coupling Reaction: A Mini‐Review

ABSTRACTIonic liquids (ILs) have been recognized for their potential as environmentally friendly solvents when compared to traditional organic solvents. Additionally, their function goes beyond that of solvents, and cocatalysts, as they frequently act as stabilizing agents and ligands for the metal‐active species and intermediates in catalytic systems. This comprehensive review primarily focuses on the application of Pd‐incorporated ILs in catalyzing cross‐coupling Suzuki reactions. The responses play a vital role in creating a wide range of structurally diverse and highly functionalized organic compounds, focusing specifically on nucleopalladation Suzuki coupling reactions. The review provides a detailed summary of the reaction conditions, stereoselectivity and regioselectivity, and the underlying mechanisms. Furthermore, it underscores crucial and characteristic illustrations, displaying the practical implementations of these coupling reactions. The aim of this review is to stimulate further research efforts, with the ultimate goal of expanding our understanding and utilization of ILs in various fields in the future.

Site Effect of Electron Acceptors on Ultralong Organic Room-Temperature Phosphorescence.

Herein, we successfully observe the site effect of electron acceptors on ultralong organic room-temperature phosphorescence (UORTP) in the case of 7H-benzo[c]carbazole (BCz) derivatives: cyanophenyl on the nitrogen site can promote intersystem crossing (ISC) efficiency and enhance phosphorescence intensity by facilitating n-π* transitions but make a slight change to the phosphorescence wavelength; cyanophenyl on the naphthalene site can cause a remarkable red shift of phosphorescence wavelength by reducing the T1 energy level of BCz derivatives and also enhance phosphorescence intensity by promoting ISC but weaken phosphorescence intensity by lowering the molecular symmetry. Three BCz derivatives (1-BCzPhCN, 2-BCzPhCN, and 3-BCzPhCN) with the electron acceptor cyanophenyl at different sites (nitrogen site and naphthalene site) were synthesized through a combination of the nucleophilic substitution reaction and the Suzuki coupling reaction. The phosphorescence properties of 1-BCzPhCN, 2-BCzPhCN, and 3-BCzPhCN in toluene solution, in a copolymerized MMA film, and in a PVA film were measured and analyzed. 1-BCzPhCN emits intrinsic green ultralong phosphorescence at ∼500, ∼536, and ∼580 nm, while 2-BCzPhCN and 3-BCzPhCN give out intrinsic yellow ultralong phosphorescence with a red shift of 27 and 40 nm, showing that cyanophenyl on the naphthalene site leads to a remarkable red shift of the intrinsic phosphorescence wavelength, but cyanophenyl on the nitrogen site makes a slight difference to the intrinsic phosphorescence wavelength. Under the same condition, the phosphorescence intensity is usually ranked as 1-BCzPhCN/3-BCzPhCN > 2-BCzPhCN, demonstrating that cyanophenyl on the nitrogen site promotes ISC and enhances phosphorescence intensity, but cyanophenyl on the naphthalene site reduces molecular symmetry and accelerates nonradiative dissipation. Time-dependent density functional theory calculations verify that cyanophenyl on the naphthalene site shifts the phosphorescence wavelength by reducing the T1 energy level, and cyanophenyl on the nitrogen site facilitates n-π* transitions to strengthen the phosphorescence intensity. Moreover, three BCz derivatives were doped into DMAP and BBP, separately. The BCz derivatives exhibited different phosphorescence colors and shifts due to interactions with the host materials. We believe this work will give an insight into the structure-property relationship of organic phosphorescence molecules and pave a way for design of colorful UORTP materials.

Pd-Catalyzed C(sp2)-C(sp3) Suzuki Coupling and Synthesis of Lumacaftor Using Designed Monophosphine Ligands.

Novel monophosphine ligands L1 and L2 with a C-P ring were designed and synthesized for the efficient Pd-catalyzed C(sp2)-C(sp3) Suzuki coupling. With 0.5 mol % Pd2dba3 and 2 mol % L1, aryl halides coupled with alkylboronic acids to give the products in up to 99% yield. The aryl thianthrene salt was further applied for late-stage methylation in 97% yield. The active pharmaceutical ingredient lumacaftor was synthesized by aryl-alkyl and aryl-aryl Suzuki coupling reactions using L1 and L2.

Synthesis, Characterization, and Photochemistry of a Ga2L3 Coordination Cage with Dithienylethene-Catecholate Ligands.

Two new photoswitchable dithienylethene (DTE)-catechol ligands, specifically designed for group 13 metal coordination, were synthesized via Suzuki coupling reactions from a dichloro-DTE building block, each with varying longitudinal extensions. The shorter DTE-catechol ligand did not efficiently assemble with Ga3+ metal ions; however, elongation with a phenylene-amide spacer group enabled the successful formation of a novel triply DTE-functionalized coordination [Ga2L3]6- cage. This cage represents a unique example of integrating DTE photoswitches with main group metals in a supramolecular coordination framework. The [Ga2L3]6- cage was thoroughly characterized by NMR spectroscopy, including DOSY hydrodynamic volumetric analyses, high-resolution mass spectrometry, computational DFT, and photochemical analyses. The DFT studies highlighted the structural integrity and dynamic interplay within the helicate and mesocate isomeric forms of the [Ga2L3]6- cage upon photoswitching. While the free ligands exhibited all-photonic reversible switching at up to mM concentrations upon alternating irradiation at 365 and >495 nm, the [Ga2L3]6- cage demonstrated these capabilities under dilute μM conditions, albeit with lower efficiency and fatigue resistance. This behavior highlights the intricate relationship between rigid coordination with main group metals and the flexibility of the photoswitchable DTE ligands within the [Ga2L3]6- cage.

Facile One-Pot Conversion of (poly)phenols to Diverse (hetero)aryl Compounds by Suzuki Coupling Reaction: A Modified Approach for the Synthesis of Coumarin- and Equol-Based Compounds as Potential Antioxidants.

A series of 16 (hetero)aryl compounds based on coumarin and equol has been efficiently synthesized by exploring the palladium-catalyzed Suzuki cross-coupling reactions. Polyphenol based on coumarin (4-methyl-7-hydroxy coumarin) was initially converted to corresponding coumarin imidazylate and then subjected to Suzuki coupling reaction with 4-methoxyphenylboronic acid to obtain the coupled product. This modified approach was later developed into a one-pot methodology by directly reacting the polyphenol with 1,1-sulfonyldiimidazole (SDI) and boronic acid in situ to obtain the Suzuki coupled product in one step. Moreover, an array of (poly)phenols based on coumarin and equol were later converted to diverse (hetero)aryl compounds by this optimized step-economic protocol. The synthesized compounds were then subjected to the screening of their potential antioxidant activities by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay. In our investigation, the compounds 4ah, 4eh, 4gh and 4hh exhibited promising antioxidant potential when compared to the reference standard, butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT). Structure activity relationship (SAR) studies revealed the importance of the presence of electron-donating substituents in enhancing the antioxidant activity of the synthesized compounds.

Boosting Suzuki coupling reaction via pore expanding and palladium–zinc alloying

A palladium–zinc alloy nanoparticles decorated nitrogen-doped porous carbon catalyst (PdZn30–NC) was synthesized and utilized for Suzuki coupling reaction. The alloying palladium (Pd) with zinc (Zn) and pore expanding are realized simultaneously. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations and experimental studies reveal that the alloying Pd with Zn can lower the energy barrier in Suzuki coupling reaction. Nitrogen adsorption–desorption measurements uncover that pore expansion caused by the zinc nitrate hexahydrate assisted calcination gives rise to the multiplication of mesopore with a pore diameter of 6 nm, which facilitates mass transfer during the reaction. As a result, the alloying Pd with Zn and pore expanding together endow PdZn30–NC with excellent catalytic activity. PdZn30–NC demonstrates exceptional catalytic activity and stability in Suzuki coupling reaction. A high biphenyl yield of 97.7 % within 40 min and stable reusability of 93.3 % yield after five reuse cycles can be achieved. This work not only offers a viable method for Suzuki coupling reaction, but also provides insights for designing new catalysts toward Suzuki coupling reaction.

Development of Two Novel Dibenzosilole-Based Conjugated Polymers with Thieno[3,4-c]pyrrole-4,6-dione for Use in Polymer Solar Cells

The donor-acceptor (D-A) strategy has proven to be one of the most effective methods for tuning the band gaps, absorption characteristics, and optoelectronic properties in conjugated polymers. Two novel D-A conjugated polymers, PDBSTPD-1T and PDBSTPD-2T, were synthesized using dibenzosilole (DBS) and thieno[3,4-c]pyrrole-4,6-dione (TPD) as the building blocks. These polymers were linked through either a single thiophene or two thiophene rings as π-bridges and were copolymerized using a Suzuki coupling reaction. The effect of the incorporation of the different π-bridges on the electrical/optical properties of the prepared copolymers was also investigated. The synthesized polymers, PDBSTPD-1T and PDBSTPD-2T, were soluble in organic solvents and demonstrated high molar mass along with excellent thermal stability. The conjugation of the electron-accepting TPD unit with the electron-donating DBS unit produced relatively deep HOMO levels, which were fine-tuned to be −5.44 and −5.36 eV via the addition of the different π-bridges. PDBSTPD-1T and PDBSTPD-2T displayed absorption wavelengths between 350 and 650 nm with high Eg opt of 2.01 and 1.97 eV, respectively. X-ray diffraction analysis presented several diffraction peaks, and the π-π stacking distances of PDBSTPD-1T and PDBSTPD-2T were 3.45 and 3.65°A, respectively.

Boosting Suzuki coupling reaction by multiscale porous Pd/carbon nanofibers photothermal catalyst

Carbon-based photothermal catalysts represent a novel, energy-saving, and eco-friendly paradigm in catalysis. In this work, multiscale porous Pd/carbon nanofibers catalyst (Pd/MPCF) was synthesized by electrospinning, CO2 thermal activating and atomic layer deposition (ALD) method. The multiscale pores of MPCF enable uniform Pd deposition on the carbon support, which showed better catalytic performance in Suzuki coupling reaction than commercial Pd/C catalyst through harnessing solar heat, resulting in a zero fossil energy consumption reaction process.

In Situ generated PdNPs immobilized on polystyrene supported DABCO Dicationic ionic liquid: An efficient and reusable catalyst for Suzuki and Heck coupling reactions

A catalyst named PdNPs-DDIL@PS has been synthesized by immobilizing PdNPs on a DABCO Dicationic Ionic Liquid (DDIL) supported on Merrifield Resin (PS). The PdNPs (∼4.16 nm size) generated in situ were fully characterized using different techniques such as SEM, TEM, TGA-DTA, and XPS. It has been found that the catalyst is highly active in the Suzuki coupling reaction of various aryl bromides and aryl boronic acids in 70 % aqueous ethanol at room temperature. The catalyst produced the desired Suzuki coupling products in good to excellent yields. Additionally, the protocol was extended for the Heck coupling reactions in DMF at 80 °C with good to excellent yields. The catalyst attained a good turnover number (TON) of 160.00–189.92 and a turnover frequency (TOF) of 8.493–18.992 min−1 for the Suzuki and TON of 173.33–189.77 and TOF of 3.952–6.325 min−1 for the Heck coupling reactions. The catalyst displayed at least four times recyclability for the Suzuki coupling without a substantial decrease in product yields. Additionally, it boosts impressive environmentally-friendly credentials in Suzuki coupling reactions.

Synthesis of new binary trimethoxyphenylfuran pyrimidinones as proficient and sustainable corrosion inhibitors for carbon steel in acidic medium: experimental, surface morphology analysis, and theoretical studies

In this study, synthesis and assessment of the corrosion inhibition of four new binary heterocyclic pyrimidinones on CS in 1.0 M hydrochloric acid solutions at various temperatures (30–50 °C) were investigated. The synthesized molecules were designed and synthesized through Suzuki coupling reaction, the products were identified as 5-((5-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)furan-2-yl)methylene)pyrimidine-2,4,6(1H,3H,5H)-trione (HM-1221), 2-thioxo-5-((5-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)furan-2-yl)methylene)dihydropyrimidine-4,6(1H,5H)-dione (HM-1222), 1,3-diethyl-2-thioxo-5-((5-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)furan-2-yl)methylene)dihydropyrimidine-4,6(1H,5H)-dione (HM-1223) and 1,3-dimethyl-5-((5-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)furan-2-yl)methylene)pyrimidine-2,4,6(1H,3H,5H)-trione (HM-1224). The experiments include weight loss measurements (WL), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentiodynamic polarization (PDP). From the measurements, it can be shown that the inhibition efficiency (η) of these organic derivatives increases with increasing the doses of inhibitors. The highest η recorded from EIS technique were 89.3%, 90.0%, 92.9% and 89.7% at a concentration of 11 × 10−6 M and 298 K for HM-1221, HM-1222, HM-1223, and HM-1224, respectively. The adsorption of the considered derivatives fit to the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Since the ΔGoads values were found to be between − 20.1 and − 26.1 kJ mol−1, the analyzed isotherm plots demonstrated that the adsorption process for these derivatives on CS surface is a mixed-type inhibitors. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), atomic force microscope (AFM) and Fourier- transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) were utilized to study the surface morphology, whereby, quantum chemical analysis can support the mechanism of inhibition. DFT data and experimental findings were found in consistent agreement.Graphical

Yellow-transmissive blue electrochromic polymers based on triphenylamine and ProDOT derivatives

Electrochromic polymer with yellow hue is few relative to those with other two primary colors due to its optical absorption at short wavelength of ≈ 450 nm. Triphenylamine (TPA) and its derivatives (TPAs) as chromogenic groups are frequently used to construct neutral yellow electrochromic polymers, however, those polymers based on TPAs usually exhibit low transmittance at oxidation state due to the residual absorption at short wavelength. Here, three neutral yellow electrochromic polymers (PBBE-1, PBBE-2 and PBBE-3) with different content ratios of ProDOT-10, TPA-4 and benzene were synthesized by Suzuki coupling reaction. With ProDOT-10 content in polymeric chain increasing, the oxidation potentials of polymers decrease gradually. Due to the twisted molecular structure, the absorption peaks of polymers almost remain unchanged when ProDOT-10 content in polymer reaches critical value, which provide an effective method for preparing neutral yellow electrochromic polymers. During oxidation process, PBBE-1 turns to black; PBBE-2 turns to dark blue; PBBE-3 turns to light grey, further to light blue. Through optimizing TBA-4/ProDOT-10 ratio, the electrochromic properties of polymers have been improved, such as optical contrast, response time and coloration efficiency. Especially, PBBE-3 possesses 40 % optical contrast at 435 nm, which is higher than reported TPAs based polymers at short wavelengths.

Novel quinoline-4-carboxamide derivatives potentiates apoptosis by targeting PDK1 to overcome chemo-resistance in colorectal cancer: Theoretical and experimental results

A series of novel N,2-diphenyl-6-(aryl/heteroaryl)quinoline-4-carboxamide derivatives were designed and synthesized using the Suzuki coupling reaction and evaluated them for their anticancer activity. These compounds were screened for anti-colon cancer activity through in-silico studies by molecular docking and molecular dynamics studies. Furthermore, the density functional theory was used to determine the molecule's electrical properties. The molecular electrostatic potential map is used to evaluate the charge distribution on the molecule surface. Unveiling that the compound 7a (binding energy of −10.2 kcal/mol) has good inhibition activity compared to other synthesized compounds (7b-7j) as well as the standard drug Gefitinib. The stability of the compound 7a with the 1OKY protein was confirmed through molecular dynamics simulation studies, indicating potential anti-colon cancer activity against phosphoinositide dependent protein kinase-1 (PDK1). The in-silico ADMET pharmacokinetic properties indicate adherence to Lipinski's rule of five for favorable safety profiles and the compound falls within the optimal range for physicochemical and pharmacokinetic properties, which is comparable to that of the standard medication drug Gefitinib. The synthesized library of compounds was further evaluated for their in-vitro anticancer potency against colon, pancreatic and breast cancer cells. The results demonstrated that the compounds effectively suppressed the proliferative potential of the screened cells in a concentration-dependent manner, as revealed by MTT assay. The anticancer potential of these molecules was further evaluated by acridine orange/PI, and Hoechst/PI which demonstrates the potential of molecules to induce apoptosis in cancer cells. Further investigations and optimization of these derivatives could lead to the development of effective anticancer strategies.

Enhancing photocatalytic hydrogen evolution performance for D-π-A conjugated polymers based on the perylene diimide

Efficient photocatalysts rely on constructing heterostructure with reasonable configuration. In this study, a novel conjugated polymer with a D-π-A structure was fabricated from polycondensation of perylene diimide and dibenzothiophene sulfone through the suzuki coupling reaction, during which the biphenyl was incorporated as a π-bridge. The photocatalytic hydrogen evolution performance of these copolymers were optimized by introducing different mass fractions of π-bridges via adjusting the additions of biphenyls The optimized PyBpDBSO-5 copolymer, with 17 wt.% perylene diimide and 5 wt% biphenyl, obtained photocatalytic hydrogen productivity of 48.54mmol/h g−1 under visible light without adding Pt as cocatalyst, which is 146.1 % improvement compared to the poly(dibenzothiophene-S,S-dioxide) (PDBTSO, 19.72mmol/h g−1). Based on the analysis of physical and chemical properties, electrochemical testing, the significant advantages of D-π-A configuration in promoting light absorption, photogenerated carriers transfer and separation was confirmed, which was further rationalized by the larger co-planarity of the polymer based on DFT calculations. This study provides inspiration about construction of conjugated organic polymer catalyst towards efficient photocatalysts.

To expand the scope of our research and find anticancer drugs with novel structures, heterocyclic derivatives (3a-3n) were designed and synthesized via Suzuki coupling reaction in the presence of Pd(PPh3)4 [Tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)-palladium(0)] catalyst with good yields. The synthesized heterocyclic analogs were characterized using various spectroscopic techniques like 1H, 13C NMR, and FT-IR spectroscopy. The cytotoxicity of heterocyclic analogs (3a-3n) was carried out by MTT assay towards breast cancer cell (MCF-7), and human normal cells (HepG2), analog 3j exhibited excellent activity against an MCF-7 (IC50 = 5±1.58µM) and low toxicity against the HepG2 (IC50 = >80µM). Furthermore, the anticancer activity of lead analog against the MCF-7 cancer cell line was confirmed using flow cytometry. Molecular docking study revealed that the derivative fits well at the active site of the target protein epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase.

Efficient palladium ion adsorption and catalyst preparation from pharmaceutical wastewater using amino-functionalized Ti3C2

This paper reports the recovery and reuse of Pd ions from pharmaceutical wastewater using amino-modified Ti3C2. Ti3C2–NH2 was synthesized by modifying (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane and the successful substitution of some surface functional groups of Ti3C2; the decrease in material thickness was verified by characterization. This study revealed that the presence of amino groups significantly enhanced the Pd(II) adsorption capacity of Ti3C2. The effects of the adsorbent material, adsorbent dosage, pH, initial concentration of Pd ions, presence of competing cations, and contact time on the adsorption performance were investigated. The maximum adsorption capacity of 20 mg of Ti3C2–NH2 was 986.65 mg/g in 100 ml of a Pd-ion solution with an initial concentration of 200 mg/l at pH 3. A pseudo-second-order kinetic model fitted well with the experimentally obtained rate data, indicating that the main mode of Pd-ion removal by Ti3C2–NH2 was via chemical reduction. Finally, the catalyst exhibited excellent performances during the photocatalytic and Suzuki coupling reactions with yields of 81 % and 95 %, respectively. The results demonstrated that Ti3C2–NH2 is an excellent material for adsorbing Pd ions and can effectively recycle these ions from pharmaceutical wastewater.

Single Site W(0) versus Re(I)‐Dipyridophenazine‐ Based Conjugated Porous Polymer for CO2 Photoreduction

Herein, the synthesis and characterization of two robust tungsten and rhenium carbonyl complexes integrated into an organic polymer (CPP‐Re, CPP‐W) are reported. These polymers are obtained by a Suzuki coupling reaction between the corresponding dibromo metal‐carbonyl substituted dipyrido[3,2‐a:2′,3′‐c]phenazine complex and 1,3,5‐triphenylbenzene‐4′,4″,4″,4‴‐triboronic acid and integrated catalytic active sites and photosensitizer since they have not only nitrogen sites to coordinate metal active centers as rhenium or tungsten but photoactive units with good charge‐separating ability which can significantly improve the CO2 photoreduction reaction (CO2PRR). These polymers show similar activity in solid–gas CO2PRR in absence of sacrificial agents to produce syn gas (CO + H2) but CPP‐W selectivity to products change regarding CPP‐Re being able to produce also large amount of more demanding electron products such as methane and ethane. Moreover, the single‐site Re‐ or W‐CPP catalysts could prevent the dimerization of complexes that produces its deactivation. This work shows the potential of CPPs as matrices to support single active centers for heterogeneous catalysis.
