Metal-organic frameworks have earned attention for their potential to address the longevity of catalytic centers. Here, the authors have synthesized an amino-pyridine benzoic acid ligand to disperse palladium catalytic centers atomically resulting in a high average turnover number (95000) and low metal residue (4.8 ppm) in the Heck reaction.
