MOF as a syringe pump for the controlled release of iodine catalyst in the synthesis of meso-thienyl dipyrromethanes.
In a new concept, an iodine loaded amine functionalized MOF was employed as a syringe pump for the slow release of iodine as a catalyst in the synthesis of thienyl dipyrromethanes under ambient conditions and turned out to be successful. The catalytic activities were compared with an isoreticular non-functionalized MOF and other conventional catalysts.
