Significance

A single-atom cobalt catalyst ­(Co-N4@NC) was prepared by pyrolysis of the Zn and Co metal-organic zeolitic framework (CoZn@BMOF) consisting of Zn, Co, and 2-methylimidazole (eq. 1). Co-N4@NC and AgF catalyzed the fluorination of acyl chlorides with KF as the fluorine source to afford the corresponding acyl fluorides in ≤ 99% NMR yield (eq. 2).

Comment

Co-N4@NC was characterized by means of TEM, HR-TEM, HAADF-STEM, SEM, nitrogen adsorption–desorption, EDS, XRD, XPS, XANES, FT-EXAFS, ICP-OES, and WT. The fluorination catalyzed by 0.576 ppm of Co-N4@NC proceeded with a high turnover number of 1.56 × 106.
