Abstract

This study develops a highly efficient metal–organic framework (MOF) catalyst for the C-X bond formation reactions such as C-C or C-S and C-N bond formations. As an efficient cooperative catalyst for such kinds of reactions, Cobalt (Co)-MOF, displays great sustainability and efficiency. Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) represent a rising class of porous crystalline materials with exceptional surface areas and uniformly dispersed metal ions. Such inherent properties make MOFs advanced materials for processes such as gas storage and separation, drug delivery, heterogeneous catalysis, and so on. Recently, we have designed a series of modified electrodes through MOFs with diverse pore shapes, sizes and compositions for targeted applications. Thus, it is probed to explore the potentials of MOFs as the new-type catalysts for C-X bond formation reactions. Notably, Co-MOFs on electrodes show significant development in these reactions in terms of time and energy throughout electrochemical processes. By means of the present study, we will synthesize Co-MOFs on Graphite electrodes by using anchoring diazonium salt and test the morphology and electrochemical behaviour of the electrode in our target reactions respectively
