Abstract
A decomposed copper based metal–organic framework containing amorphous Cu species was found to be a highly reactive carbon supported catalyst (a-Cu@C). This catalyst is active for reduction, oxidation, and N-arylation reactions without further tuning or optimization. Higher catalyst turnover numbers for each of these transformations are obtained when comparing a-Cu@C activity to similar Cu-based materials.
