To develop a reusable, highly active single-site catalyst for selective liquid-phase ethylene dimerization into 1-butene through one-pot postfunctionalization of a metal-organic framework.
Anchored a molecular nickel complex into a mesoporous metal-organic framework, (Fe)MIL-101, using a one-pot postsynthetic modification route to synthesize Ni@(Fe)MIL-101.
Assessed catalytic activity, product selectivity, and recyclability during the liquid-phase dimerization of ethylene to 1-butene, comparing performance against molecular nickel diimino complexes.
Ni@(Fe)MIL-101 functioned as a highly active and reusable heterogeneous catalyst for liquid-phase ethylene dimerization.
Ethylene dimerization catalyzed by Ni@(Fe)MIL-101 yielded higher selectivity for 1-butene than reported benchmark molecular nickel diimino complexes.
