Three-dimensional cubic mesoporous materials with a built-in N-heterocyclic carbene for Suzuki–Miyaura coupling of aryl chlorides and C (sp 3)-chlorides
New cubic cage-like mesoporous materials with a bulky N-heterocyclic carbene [IPr, 1, 3-bis (2, 6-diisopropylphenyl) imidazol-2-ylidene] precursor in the framework were synthesized by a co-condensation of IPr precursor-bridged organosilane and TEOS in the presence of template. N2 sorption, XRD and TEM characterizations revealed that the mesostructural orderings of the synthesized materials depended on the molar fraction of the bridged ...
