In Situ Organized Pd and Au Nanoparticles in a Naphthalene-Based Imine-Linked Covalent Triazine Framework for Catalytic Suzuki Reactions and H2 Generation from Formic Acid

Herein, a naphthalene-based imine-linked covalent triazine framework (NICTF) as a triazine-based covalent organic framework (COF) was obtained. The mesochannels of NICTF COF with a Schiff base condensed bridge are robust multipurpose support. Then, a Pd and Au nanoparticle-decorated NICTF with no aggregation was in situ obtained. The Pd nanoparticle (NP) catalyst exhibited outstanding stability and excellent activity in the Suzuki coupling reactions and H-2 generation from formic acid. The Au-based nanocatalyst was applied for an A(3)-coupling three-component reaction.
