Abstract:
Copper(II)/polyimide-linked covalent organic frameworks under solvent-free and microwave-assisted conditions have been used in an efficient one-pot protocol for the preparation of 2,4,5-trisubstituted imidazoles via benzil, aromatic aldehydes and ammonium acetate. By applying solvent-free conditions and microwave irradiation, three-component condensation provides safe operations, low pollution, quick access to products, and an easy set-up. As a result of its reusability, the catalyst can also be reutilized for many runs without missing any activity.

Metal-Ligand Bonds
In these complexes, transition metals form coordinate covalent bonds, a kind of Lewis acid-base interaction in which both of the electrons in the bond are contributed by a donor (Lewis base) to an electron acceptor (Lewis acid). The Lewis acid in...
Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can be...
