Abstract

The grafting of imidazole species onto coordinatively unsaturated sites within metal–organic framework MIL-101(Cr) enables enhanced CO2 capture in close proximity to catalytic sites. The subsequent combination of CO2 and epoxide binding sites, as shown through theoretical findings, significantly improves the rate of cyclic carbonate formation, producing a highly active CO2 utilization catalyst. An array of spectroscopic investigations, in combination with theoretical calculations reveal the nature of the active sites and associated catalytic mechanism which validates the careful design of the hybrid MIL-101(Cr).
