To gain greater insight into the catalytic performance of 1-templated and 1nontemplated, we monitored the kinetics of each reaction to obtain initial rates. Using the same conditions as before, timepoints ranging from 10 min to 8 h were collected in triplicate. At low conversion (<10%), initial turnover frequency (TOF) values of 6.26 and 1.49 h -1 were obtained for 1-templated and 1nontemplated, respectively, indicating that the templated framework is over four-fold more active than the non-templated framework (Fig. ). Both catalysts are highly selective for the addition product 2 over the dehydrated product 3. After 8 h, 1-templated achieves 95% conversion (10:1 ratio of 2:3), whereas 1nontemplated achieves 57% conversion (23:1 ratio of 2:3). Both catalysts retain crystallinity over the 8 h period (Fig. ), and digestion 1 H NMR of the frameworks confirms that both catalysts maintain the same functional group composition (Figs. and).
