Self-Supported Catalysts
Application of functionalized coordination polymers as self-supported catalysts in heterogeneous catalytic reactions is an emerging area of research and has met with some notable success. The molecular building units of the catalysts are tailorable in nature, allowing for systematic engineering of the catalytic performance. The catalysts have demonstrated high efficiency and/or excellent selectivity in a variety of reactions and can be separated from the product by simple filtration and even reused in multiple cycles without loss of
activity or selectivity. In some cases, all active sites in the self-supported catalyst can be identical because of the high crystallinity of the solid. This would not only facilitate the structural elucidation of the catalyst and further mechanistic studies in relevant reactions but also may lead to development
of new heterogeneous single-site catalysts for highly selective synthesis. These remarkable features coupled with the enormous diversity of the chemical compositions and structures suggest more catalytic applications of these materials can be expected in the future.
