Pd-Metalated Conjugated Nanoporous Polycarbazoles for Additive-Free Cyanation of Aryl Halides: Boosting Catalytic Efficiency through Spatial Modulation

Abstract

A novel spatial-modulation approach was developed to fabricate a new heterogeneous Pd-metalated nanoporous polymer for efficient and ligand-free cyanation of aryl halides. The resulting catalyst displays high activity in the synthesis of benzonitriles, including high product yield, excellent stability and recycle, and broad scope functional group tolerance.
