Abstract: Phosphine phosphonate and phenoxyphosphine ligands bearing polyethylene glycol (PEG) chains are used as described herein to produce heterobimetallic catalysts. The ligands can be metallated selectively with palladium or nickel and secondary metal ions to provide well-defined heterobimetallic compounds. These heterobimetallic complexes exhibit accelerated reaction rates and greater thermal stability in olefin polymerization compared to other catalysts.

Abstract: Disclosed are MOFs containing nucleophilic transition metal hydroxide (M-OH) groups. In certain embodiments, these MOFs can include a plurality of metal ions, each coordinated with one or more hydroxide ligands and one or more backbone ligands. In certain embodiments, the MOFs can comprise Kuratowski cluster-based secondary building units (SBUs). These MOFs can exhibit excellent performance for low pressure CO2 capture via a CO2/HCO3? fixation mechanism in which cooperative inter-cluster hydrogen bonding interactions enhance CO2 capture performance. Also provided are methods of making MOFs including one or more metal hydroxide moieties, as well as methods of using these MOFs to capture an acidic gas (e.g., CO2, SO2, NO2, or acetylene).
