Abstract
In this study, we report the design, synthesis, and catalytic application of the novel nitrogen-rich Zn(II) MOF [Zn2(μ3-1κN,2κN′,3κO-HL)2(DMF)2]n·nH2O (HL2− = 4-((4-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)phenyl)carbamoyl)benzoate), denoted as ZnMOF, for the efficient conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) to cyclic carbonates via cycloaddition with epoxides. It was synthesised from a tetrazole appended amide-functionalised pro-ligand (H3L) and Zn(NO3)2·6H2O under hydrothermal conditions. The synthesised material was characterised namely by elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. The catalytic potential of ZnMOF was investigated in the CO2 cycloaddition reaction with various epoxides, with conversions ranging from 17% to 99%. The catalyst retained its activity across multiple reaction cycles, demonstrating its stability and reusability. The influence of co-catalysts on the reaction was explored, with tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBABr) emerging as the most effective one. A plausible reaction mechanism is proposed.
期刊介绍:
Catalysts (ISSN 2073-4344) is an international open access journal of catalysts and catalyzed reactions. Catalysts publishes reviews, regular research papers (articles) and short communications. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. Therefore, there is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced.
