Microcrystalline Zinc Coordination Polymers as Single-site Heterogeneous Catalysts for the Selective Synthesis of Mono-oxazolines from Amino Alcohol and Dinitriles
In our effort to develop coordination polymers (CPs)‐based single‐site catalysts for the selective synthesis of mono‐oxazolines, two Zn‐based CPs, [Zn6(idbt)4(phen)4} ⋅3 H2O]n (1) and [Zn3(idbt)2(H2O)4}⋅2 H2O]n (2) (H3idbt= 5,5′‐(1H‐imidazole‐4,5‐diyl)‐bis‐(2H‐tetrazole), phen=1,10‐phenanthroline) have been synthesized. They exhibit two‐dimensional structure and contain isolated and accessible catalytically
