A novel Zn-based-MOF for efficient CO2 adsorption and conversion under mild conditions Orcajo, Gisela Rodríguez Diéguez, Antonio Choquesillo Lazarte, Duane CO2 conversion Zn-based-MOF CO2 adsorption Cycloaddition reaction Epoxides Recyclability This work has been supported by the Regional Government of Madrid (Project ACES2030-CM , S2018/EMT-4319 ), the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation , and the Spanish State Research Agency (Project PGC2018-099296-B-I00 ) A novel Zn-based-MOF material, called Zn-URJC-8, containing two different organic linkers, 2-aminoterephtallic acid and 4,4-bipyridyl, has been synthetized and used for catalytic purposes for the first time. The structure of Zn-URJC-8 has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD) showing -NH2 groups inward-facing of narrow pores, providing the material with excellent properties as CO2 adsorbent. The good results obtained by means of carbon dioxide adsorption isotherms have demonstrated the high interaction between CO2 and -NH2 groups with a Qst value of 54 kJ/mol at low coverage. The Zn-URJC-8 material also display promising results as catalyst for CO2 transformation in added value products. Almost complete conversion of epichlorohydrin and CO2 in cycloaddition reaction has been achieved under mild conditions, and the influence of different radical groups coordinated to the epoxides has been evaluated on the reaction yield. The recyclability has been also tested and the structural integrity of the catalyst is maintained after several consecutive reaction cycles. 2022-01-10T13:36:42Z 2022-01-10T13:36:42Z 2021-11-21 journal article Jesús Tapiador, Catalysis Today, [https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cattod.2021.11.025] http://hdl.handle.net/10481/72283 10.1016/j.cattod.2021.11.025 eng http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/ open access Atribución-NoComercial-SinDerivadas 3.0 España Elsevier
