Selective monoborylation of methane by metal–organic framework confined mononuclear pyridylimine-iridium(i) hydride

Abstract

Chemoselective mono-borylation of methane in high yield is a grand challenge. We have developed a metal-organic framework confined pyridylimine-iridium hydride catalyst, which is efficient in methane C‒H borylation using bis(pinacolato)diboron...
