Ambient synthesis of metal-covalent organic frameworks with Fe-iminopyridine linkages

Chem Commun (Camb). 2022 Aug 4;58(63):8830-8833. doi: 10.1039/d2cc03148e.

Abstract

Highly crystalline Fe-COFs were constructed from the building blocks carrying pyridyl-aldehyde and triamine moieties in the presence of Fe(OTf)2 and acetic acid under ambient conditions via a subcomponent assembly strategy. The spectral results prove the coordination of atomically distributed Fe(II) ions with the nitrogen species of covalently formed iminopyridine linkages.
