Postsynthetic modification of mixed-linker metal–organic frameworks for ethylene oligomerization†
Abstract
A series of mixed-linker metal–organic frameworks (Zn4O(BDC)x(ABDC)3−x) has been synthesized, and then transformed into nickel catalysts for ethylene oligomerization through quantitative postsynthetic modification. These complexes were more manageable, more stable, and more economic than analogues of IRMOF-3 (x = 0) by post-modification.
