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 H2 generation from formic acid. The Au-based nanocatalyst was applied for an A3-coupling three-component reaction.
