Abstract
Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) are a subclass of metal-organic framework that have attracted considerable attention as potential functional materials due to their high chemical stability and ease of synthesis. ZIFs are usually composed of zinc ions coordinated with imidazole linkers, with some other transition metals, such as Cu(II) and Co(II), also showing potential as ZIF-forming cations. Despite the importance of nickel in catalysis, no Ni-based ZIF with permanent porosity is yet reported. It is found that the presence and arrangement of the carbonyl functional groups on the imidazole linker play a crucial role in completing the preferred octahedral coordination of nickel, revealing a promising platform for the rational design of Ni-based ZIFs for a wide range of catalytic applications. Herein, the synthesis of the first Ni-based ZIFs is reported and their high potential as heterogeneous catalysts for Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling C─C bond forming reactions is demonstrated.
