Abstract

Herein, we report the synthesis and characterization data of visible-light-active colloidal azobenzene-based porous organic polymer (Azo–POP) and its Pd-nanoparticle loaded analog (Pd–Azo–POP). The setup for photocatalytic Suzuki reactions triggered by Pd–Azo–POP under conventional batch reaction mode as well as in a prototypal continuous flow system has also been provided in addition to the detailed catalytic data including 1H and 13C NMR spectra of the obtained products. For further discussions on the materials, their effect on overall catalysis and mechanistic insight, please refer to the associated article “Pd-nanoparticle decorated azobenzene-based colloidal porous organic polymer for visible and natural sunlight-induced Mott–Schottky junction mediated instantaneous Suzuki coupling” (Chakraborty et al., 2019).

Value of the data

  • Visible light and natural sunlight were used as green energy source to furnish Suzuki and Suzuki-type couplings.

  • Promoting overall photo-activity of the catalyst through generation of Mott–Schottky heterojunctions at the semiconducting POP–Pd interface after incorporating Pd nanoparticles in the organic network is portrayed.

2. Experimental design, materials, and methods

2.1. Materials

The materials used for synthesizing the polymer network were purchased from Aladdin (China). All reagents for the photocatalytic Suzuki coupling reaction were purchased from TCI (Japan), Aladdin (China), and J&K Chemicals (China). All the solvents (AR grade) were obtained from Aladdin (China) and used without further purification.

2.2. Methods

Solution-state NMR spectra were recorded on a Bruker 500 MHz NMR spectrometer (1H NMR, 500 MHz; 13C NMR, 126 MHz). The peak frequencies were referenced with respect to TMS (δ = 0 ppm) as an internal standard for 1H NMR, and against the solvent (CDCl3, δ = 77 ppm) for 13C NMR, respectively. The coupling constants, J, were reported in Hz. The Pd-content in Pd–Azo–POP was determined by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectra (ICP, Varian VISTAMPX). All other characterizations of the materials including solid-state 13C-CP/MAS NMR, FT-IR, powder XRD, porosity, and adsorption–desorption isotherms, Scanning Electron Microscopy, Transmission Electron Microscopy, X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy, UV–vis absorptions, Electron Paramagnetic Resonance measurements, and Cyclic Voltammogram were performed following the previously reported method [2].
