Recyclable homogeneous catalysis enabled by dynamic coordination on Rhodium(II) axial sites of metal-organic polyhedra
The activity of catalytic nanoparticles is strongly dependent on their surface chemistry, which controls colloidal stability and substrate diffusion toward catalytic sites.

| Resumo: | The activity of catalytic nanoparticles is strongly dependent on their surface chemistry, which controls colloidal stability and substrate diffusion toward catalytic sites. In this work, we studied how the outer surface chemistry of nanostructured Rh(II)-based metal-organic cages or polyhedra (Rh-MOPs) impacts their performance in homogeneous catalysis. Specifically, through post-synthetic coordination of aliphatic imidazole ligands onto the exohedral Rh(II) axial sites of Rh-MOPs, we solubilized a cuboctahedral Rh-MOP in dichloromethane, thereby enabling its use as a homogeneous catalyst. We demonstrated that the presence of the coordinating ligand on the surface of the Rh-MOP does not hinder its catalytic activity in styrene aziridination and cyclopropanation reactions, thanks to the dynamic Rh-imidazole coordination bond. Finally, we used similar ligand exchange post-synthetic reactions to develop a ligand-mediated approach for precipitating the Rh-MOP catalyst, facilitating the recovery and reuse of Rh-MOPs as homogeneous catalysts |
