- Two new strategies have been developed to accomplish direct nucleophilic acylation reactions. In the first approach, acylsilanes are added to various electrophiles using N-heterocyclic carbenes as catalysts. The second method utilizes O-silyl thiazolium carbinols as stoichiometric acyl anion precursors to afford acylated products under mild reaction conditions. N-heterocyclic carbenes generated...

- Description:
- Metal–Organic Frameworks (MOFs) is a class of material comprising organic linkers and inorganic, metal-ion-containing nodes, with diverse functionalities and wide-range of applications. Because of their porous nature and functional nodes and linkers, they are competent candidates for gas storage, separation, catalysis, and so on. Most MOFs, however, are intrinsically insulating,...
