A metal–organic framework supported iridium catalyst for the gas phase hydrogenation of ethylene

Abstract

The mutable structures of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) allow their use as novel supports for transition metal catalysts. Herein we prepare an iridium bis(ethylene) catalyst bound to the neutral N-donors of a MOF structure and show that the compound is a stable gas phase ethylene hydrogenation catalyst. The data illustrate the need to carefully consider the inner sphere (support) and outer sphere (anion) chemistry.
