An Exploration on Copper‐Based Metal‐Organic Frameworks as Propitious Heterogeneous Catalyst for Coupling Reactions

Abstract

AbstractMetal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) have been considered as adaptable alternatives of interest in catalytic reactions. Modern MOFs research and advancements strongly support their employment as catalysts to produce significant organic molecules. Concerning how such substances might be utilized in heterogeneous catalysis, the entire potency of MOFs in value‐added organic transformations must be thoroughly investigated. Standard MOFs components including encapsulation materials, linkers, metal‐nodes, and coated structures frequently provide effective catalytic active sites that provide ways to lessen human efforts to implement novel natural reactions. The significant aspects of using MOFs as recyclable catalysts are their convenient fabrication, consistent porosity, substantial pore volume, reusability and durable framework in addition to cost‐effectiveness. Since MOFs were extensively explored, they may have been used to fabricate medicinal active compounds through coupling and organic transformations. In this review, several Cu‐based MOFs are examined along with their catalytic attributes that assist with the selective fabrication of the product organic moieties via various cross‐coupling reactions.
