Mechanically fabricated Metal–organic framework/resin composite nanoparticles for efficient basic catalysis

Abstract

Zeolitic imidazolate framework‐8 (ZIF‐8) was successfully composited with an anionic basic resin 201 × 7 (717‐resin) to provide a novel ZIF‐8/717‐resin composite. Its catalytic activity toward the Knoevenagel condensation reaction was evaluated. Results showed that ZIF‐8/717‐resin composite could efficiently catalyze this reaction, affording the corresponding products in good to excellent yields. Good functional group tolerance, mild reaction conditions, good stability and reusability of the catalyst are the major features of present protocol.

Polyphosphazene‐Functionalized Microspheres as Efficient Catalysts for the Knoevenagel Reaction under Mild Conditions

“…Moreover, at room temperature and 100 °C, the reaction is nearly complete, which is far higher than the reported yield of 93 % at room temperature. [38][39] The above results demonstrate that the reaction can be carried out under mild conditions whether in hot or cold weather (around 0 °C).…”
