Inside Back Cover: Merging Photoredox and Organometallic Catalysts in a Metal–Organic Framework Significantly Boosts Photocatalytic Activities (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 43/2018)

Abstract

Abstract Incorporation of two metal catalysts in a metal–organic framework (MOF) can lead to enhanced turnover numbers. In their Communication (DOI: 10.1002/anie.201809493), W. Lin et al. exemplify this strategy by combining an Ir III photoredox catalyst and a Ni II cross‐coupling catalyst within a stable Zr 12 MOF for C−S bond formation between various aryl iodides and thiols. The proximity of the Ir III and Ni II catalytic components greatly facilitates electron and thiol radical transfers.
