Abstract
The integration of the Metal-Organic Framework (MOF) Cu3(btc) 2 inside a monolith macroporous hydrophilic PolyHIPE (High Internal Phase Emulsions) was reported. MOF's are known for their enhanced surface area, large micropore volume, pore size and functionality is adjustable in a wide range. The advantage of growing active particles directly on the surface of a chemically modified PolyHIPE was demonstrated for metal-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura coupling. The incorporation of the MOF material with enhanced specific surface area into a monolithic support with a macroporous primary matrix is an important step for the development of well defined macroscopic MOF bodies with accessible porosity and transport pores. Thus, PolyHIPE with metal organic framework can be obtained with user-defined geometry, either by curing the emulsion or by shaping the final monolithic material after synthesis.
