Synergistic cross-coupling catalysis: a trialkylphosphine/Pd catalyst tethered to MOF-808(Hf) is very effective for Suzuki–Miyaura coupling of problematic nucleophiles

MOF-808(Hf) with grafted trialkylphosphines loaded with Pd catalyses Suzuki–Miyaura coupling of functionalised aryl boronic acids with aryl chlorides and demanding cross-couplings of electron-deficient nucleophiles.
