Summary: Catalyst design using machine learning is important for reducing costs and development time in various industrial fields. This study focused on a reaction system involving Buchwald-Hartwig type cross-coupling (BHCC) and Suzuki-Miyaura type cross-coupling (SMCC) reactions. By constructing a machine-learning model considering all experimental conditions, the study aimed to accurately predict product yield for both BHCC and SMCC reactions and design catalysts that achieve target yield and develop novel reactions. Bayesian optimization was used with established variables to design new catalysts and improve reaction selectivity. Additionally, the catalyst design successfully introduced new reactions involving Cu, Rh, and Pt catalysts in a reaction system that previously only reacted with Ni or Pd transition metals.

Summary: Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are porous organic polymers with excellent stability and well-defined structures. In this study, two imine-based COFs (COF-OH and COF-F) were designed and constructed with micro-porosity and high stability. The presence of intramolecular hydrogen bonding and face-to-face stacking interaction contribute to the high porosity and stability of COF-OH and COF-F, respectively. These COFs also exhibit high porosity as active platforms for iodine and carbon dioxide uptake through weak interactions resulting from their porous structure and specific atom linkages in the aromatic skeleton.
