A Visible‐Light‐Harvesting Covalent Organic Framework Bearing Single Nickel Sites as a Highly Efficient Sulfur–Carbon Cross‐Coupling Dual Catalyst

Abstract

Abstract Covalent Organic Frameworks (COFs) have recently emerged as light‐harvesting devices, as well as elegant heterogeneous catalysts. The combination of these two properties into a dual catalyst has not yet been explored. We report a new photosensitive triazine‐based COF, decorated with single Ni sites to form a dual catalyst. This crystalline and highly porous catalyst shows excellent catalytic performance in the visible‐light‐driven catalytic sulfur–carbon cross‐coupling reaction. Incorporation of single transition metal sites in a photosensitive COF scaffold with two‐component synergistic catalyst in organic transformation is demonstrated for the first time.
