Cover Feature: Single‐Atom Based Metal‐Organic Frameworks for Efficient C−S Cross‐Coupling (Chem. Asian J. 7/2025)

Jayaramulu Kolleboyina and co-workers engineered a nickel single-atom catalyst (UiO-66/Ni) with Ni atoms covalently anchored to defect-engineered Zr-oxide clusters in the UiO-66 framework, synthesized via a simple solution impregnation method. This catalyst shows uniform Ni atom distribution, exceptional stability, and high catalytic performance in C–S coupling reactions of aryl thiols and aryl halides, achieving high activity and selectivity across various substituents at room temperature, maintaining stability.
