A triazine-based covalent organic framework/palladium hybrid for one-pot silicon-based cross-coupling of silanes and aryl iodides

A triazine-based covalent organic framework (COF-SDU1) was synthesized through facile solvothermal conditions and characterized by IR, solid state 13C NMR, XRD, elemental analysis and BET. By a simple solution infiltration method, Pd(II) species were successfully immobilized into COF-SDU1 due to its two-dimensional eclipsed layer-sheet structure and nitrogen-rich content. High-resolution TEM images showed the uniform loading of the Pd species into the COF-SDU1 matrix. By using this hybrid material, Pd(II)/COF-SDU1, as a sustainable and green catalyst, one-pot cross-coupling of silanes and aryl iodides was realized with high selectivity. The catalyst can be easily recovered by a simple separation process and recycled several times without obvious loss of activity and selectivity.
