Project description
A next generation of heterogeneous catalysts will be developed starting from stable porous covalent organic frameworks (COFs) to which numerous active metal complexes will be anchored. The potential of COFs is currently almost unexplored. The new materials will be engineered on the nanometer scale and tested using a microreactor set-up. As a result, various sustainable processes which are not possible today on industrial scale, will become feasible.
