Abstract |
A zirconium-phosphonate network, as a bifunctional catalyst for carbon dioxide (CO2)/epoxide coupling reaction, exhibits very high activity that is superior to most documented metal-organic framework (MOF)-based catalysts. Furthermore, it possesses extraordinary tolerance to extremely harsh conditions, such as aqua regia. This paper describes the use of metal phosphonate as a new MOF applied to CO2 transformation. |
