NEW ALUMINIUM, GALLIUM AND INDIUM POLYMERIC FRAMEWORKS AS HETEROGENEOUS GREEN CATALYSTS

Abstract

Twenty new Metal-Organic Frameworks have been presented by combining different trivalent cations (aluminium, gallium and indium) and organic linkers (V-shaped flexible ligands). The structure determination and topological analysis have been carried out for each material. Additionally, the catalytic properties of these compounds were studied using the cyanosilylation of carbonyl compounds as standard reaction and three different multicomponent reactions in order to analyse the heterogenous catalytic selectivity of the materials developed. Finally, the structure-catalyst activity relationships of the compounds are proposed.
