Abstract

Heterogeneous catalysts containing diatomic sites are often hypothesized to have distinctive reactivity due to synergistic effects, but there are limited approaches that enable the convenient production of diatomic catalysts (DACs) with diverse metal combinations. Here, we present a general synthetic strategy for constructing a DAC library across a wide spectrum of homonuclear (Fe2, Co2, Ni2, Cu2, Mn2, and Pd2) and heteronuclear (Fe–Cu, Fe–Ni, Cu–Mn, and Cu–Co) bimetal centers. This strategy is based on an encapsulation–pyrolysis approach, wherein a porous material-encapsulated macrocyclic complex mediates the structure of DACs by preserving the main body of the molecular framework during pyrolysis. We take…
