Tandem catalysis by ultrathin metal-organic nanosheets formed through post-synthetic functionalisation of a layered framework.

Tandem catalysis by ultrathin metal-organic nanosheets formed through post-synthetic functionalisation of a layered framework. Chem Commun (Camb). 2019 Apr 18;: Authors: Nicks J, Zhang J, Foster JA Abstract Covalent post-synthetic functionalisation of layered metal-organic frameworks is demonstrated as a new approach to forming ultrathin nanosheets for use in catalysis. An aminoterephthalate framework was partially functionalised with sulfonate chains and exfoliated to form predominantly monolayer nanosheets able to catalyse a two-step acid-base reaction in one pot.
