Title: Metal–Organic Frameworks with Zero and Low‐Valent Metal Nodes Connected by Tetratopic Phosphine Ligands
Abstract

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) constructed with M0nodes are attractive targets due to the reactivity of these low‐valent metals, but examples of these MOFs remain exceedingly rare. The rational design of three‐dimensional MOFs with Pd0and Pt0nodes using tetratopic phosphine ligands is reported. Five new MOFs have been synthesized by systematic variation of the phosphine ligands and metal precursors employed, and these represent the first examples of MOFs constructed using phosphine–metal bonds as the sole structural component. The MOFs display solid‐state luminescence, with emission maxima that are significantly red‐shifted compared to Pd(PPh3)4. In addition, a RhIlow‐valent coordination solid based on the same linker design is reported, which displays solid‐state luminescence that is not observed for the molecular analogue.

  2. Abstract

    Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are crystalline, 2‐ and 3‐dimensional coordination polymers formed by bonding interactions between metals and multitopic organic ligands. These are typically formed using hard Lewis basic organic ligands with high oxidation state metal ions. The use of low‐valent metals as structural elements in MOFs is far less common, despite the widespread use of such metals for catalysis, luminescence, and other applications. This Minireview focuses on recent advances in the field of low‐valent MOFs and offers a perspective on the future development of these materials.

  4. Abstract

    Low‐valent metal–organic frameworks (LVMOFs) and related materials have gained interest due to their potential applications in heterogeneous catalysis. However, of the few LVMOFs that have been reported, none have shown catalytic activity. Herein, a low‐valent metal‐organic material constructed from phosphine linkers and IrInodes is reported. This material is effectively a crystalline, insoluble analogue of Vaska's complex. As such, the material reversibly binds O2and catalyzes the reductive formation of enamines from amides.
