Highly effective synthesis of a cobalt(II) metal-organic coordination polymer by using continuous flow chemistry

The coordination polymer [Co2L4(H2O)(2)]center dot CH3CN center dot H2O (HL = (E)-2-[2-(4-chlorophenyl)vinyl]-8-hydroxyquinoline) has been achieved with 95% yield by using an Asia flow synthesis system (chip reactor). Compared with the conventional batch-type methods such as diffusion, reflux and solvothermal reactions, higher yielding reactions carried out in a flow reactor have demonstrated that this technique is a powerful strategy to obtain coordination compounds.

通过使用亚洲流动合成系统（芯片反应器），以95%的产率合成了配位聚合物[Co₂L₄(H₂O)₂]·CH₃CN·H₂O（HL =（E）-2-[2 -（4 - 氯苯基）乙烯基]-8 - 羟基喹啉）。与扩散、回流和溶剂热反应等传统的间歇式方法相比，在流动反应器中进行的反应产率更高，这表明该技术是获得配位化合物的一种强有力的策略。
