Abstract The highly porous metal organic framework MOF-5 was loaded with the metal–organic compound [Pd(C3H5)(C5H5)] by metal–organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) method. The inclusion compound [Pd(C3H5)(C5H5)]@MOF-5 was characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. It was found that the host lattice of MOF-5 remained intact upon precursor insertion. The –C3H5 ligand in the precursor is easier to lose due to the interaction between palladium and the benzenedicarboxylate linker in MOF-5, providing a possible explanation for the irreversibility of the precursor adsorption. Pd nanoparticles of about 2–5 nm in size was formed inside the cavities of MOF-5 by hydrogenolysis of the inclusion compound [Pd(C3H5)(C5H5)]@MOF-5 at room temperature. N2 sorption of the obtained material confirmed that high surface area was retained. In the Suzuki coupling reaction the Pd@MOF-5 materials showed a good activity in the first catalytic run. However, the crystal structure of MOF-5 was completely destroyed during the following reaction runs, as confirmed by PXRD, which caused a big loss of the activity. M. Zhang  J. Guan  C.

1 Introduction Recently, there has been a considerable upsurge in the study of porous hybrid organic–inorganic materials-metal organic frameworks, referred to as MOFs. Because of their tunable cavities, high surface area, controlled porosity and low density, MOFs have been applied in a lot of fields including chemical sensing [1, 2], drug release [3], gas sorption or storage [4], and catalysis [5]. However, their application in catalysis has been very limited mainly due to two factors: first, the stability of the materials toward temperature, moisture, and some reactants and impurities is much lower compared to inorganic porous materials; second, in many MOF structures, the coordination positions around the metal ion are occupied by organic linkers, leaving no available place for reactants sorption [6–8]. However, as an alternative concept, MOF can be used as a catalyst support and applied in fine chemical synthesis. Opelt et al. [9] prepared a 0.5 wt% Pd@MOF-5 catalyst by the coprecipita
