Modifying electron transfer between photoredox and organocatalytic units via framework interpenetration for β-carbonyl functionalization
Abstract
Metal organic frameworks are promising catalysts due to their porous structure and the possible incorporation of multiple active sites. Here, the authors show that interpenetrated metal-organic frameworks containing both a photocatalyst and an organocatalyst catalyse the β-alkylation of carbonyl compounds.
