Pd nanoparticles embedded into MOF‑808: An efficient and reusable catalyst for Sonogashira and Heck cross-coupling reactions

In this work, the Pd@MOF-808 composite was prepared to effectively catalyze the Sonogashira and Heck reactions without the presence of organic phosphine ligands. The results showed that the developed catalyst provided an environment-friendly reaction condition for these two reactions with the existence of a variety of functional groups and substrates. In addition, the Pd@MOF-808 catalyst could be easily recovered and reused for up to 5 times with less deterioration of catalytic performance.
