Abstract

A highly porous metal-organic framework (MOF) incorporating both exposed metal sites and nitrogen-rich triazole groups was successfully constructed via solvothermal assembly of a clicked octcarboxylate ligand and Cu(II) ions, which presents a high affinity toward CO2 molecules clearly verified by gas adsorption and Raman spectral detection. The constructed MOF featuring CO2-adsorbing property and exposed Lewis-acid metal sites could serve as an excellent catalyst for CO2-based chemical fixation. Catalytic activity of the MOF was confirmed by remarkably high efficiency on CO2 cycloaddition with small epoxides. When extending the substrates to larger ones, its activity showed a sharp decrease. These observations…
