Significance

A titanium (VI)-based three-dimensional covalent organic framework (Ti-COF), prepared according to Equation 1, catalyzed the Meerwein arylation of alkenes in MeCN–H2O under white LED irradiation to afford the corresponding Meerwein addition products in ≤75% yield (eq. 2).

Comment

The Ti-COF catalyst was characterized by means of FTIR, 13C CP/MAS NMR, UV/Vis DRS, XPS, PXRD, TGA, N2 adsorption/desorption isotherms, BET, SEM, TEM, HRTEM, STEM, EDX, and elemental analyses. In the Meerwein addition reaction of 4-nitrobenzenediazonium tetrafluoroborate and styrene, the catalyst was recovered and reused four times without significant loss of its catalytic activity.
