Robust {Cd4}-Organic Framework for Efficiently Catalyzing CO2 Cycloaddition and Knoevenagel Condensation

“…14,15 In addition, with the rapid economic development and population explosion, the rapidly increasing consumption of fossil fuels has brought about a series of negative impacts. 16,17 For example, the release of massive amounts of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) into the atmosphere has triggered the global greenhouse effect, greatly affecting human survival and development. 18,19 Therefore, research on reducing the content of CO 2 in the atmosphere and converting it into clean energy has important significance.…”

“…In addition, with the rapid economic development and population explosion, the rapidly increasing consumption of fossil fuels has brought about a series of negative impacts. , For example, the release of massive amounts of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) into the atmosphere has triggered the global greenhouse effect, greatly affecting human survival and development. , Therefore, research on reducing the content of CO 2 in the atmosphere and converting it into clean energy has important significance. Currently, there have been numerous reports on transforming CO 2 into high-value-added products, mainly in the fields of photochemical products, fine chemical products, and polymeric materials. − Among the many chemicals prepared from CO 2 , the preparation of cyclic carbonates is one of the most promising ways to achieve industrial application prospects for the utilization of CO 2 .…”

A highly robust cluster-based indium(iii)–organic framework with efficient catalytic activity in cycloaddition of CO2 and Knoevenagel condensation

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] At present, MOFs have been proved to be a kind of excellent heterogeneous catalyst for chemical fixation of CO 2 , Knoevenagel condensation, isomerization, acetification, Friedel-Crafts reaction, silylation of aldehydes, aldol condensation, asymmetric hydrogenation and photocatalytic reaction. [11][12][13][14][15] Disappointingly, most MOFs have few catalytically active sites and poor conductivity and chemical stability, which greatly limit their practical catalytic applications. However, the biggest advantage of MOF materials lies in the controllability of MOF structures, which enables MOF materials to meet specific functional requirements by introducing some target structures.…”

Multifunctional Dysprosium(III)–Organic Framework for Efficiently Catalyzing the Cycloaddition of CO2 and Knoevenagel Condensation under Mild Conditions

“…Furthermore, the rapid development of industrialization and the massive consumption of fossil fuels in recent years have directly led to the increase of CO 2 concentration in the atmosphere, which is estimated to account for 79% of the total greenhouse gas effect . At the same time, CO 2 , as a cheap, accessible, nontoxic, harmless, renewable, and rich carbon resource, can be converted into high value-added chemical products under certain conditions. − Therefore, the resource utilization of CO 2 conforms to the development requirements of a sustainable society and green chemistry. At present, among many CO 2 conversion reactions, the cycloaddition of CO 2 with epoxides (CCE) to form cyclic carbonates is considered one of the most promising ways of CO 2 resource utilization because its atomic economy reaches 100% and the products are widely used as polar aprotic solvents, electrolytes, polymer precursors, and fine chemical intermediates. , In recent years, a large number of homogenous and heterogenous catalysts have been developed to catalyze the CO 2 cycloaddition reaction, such as metal oxides, functional polymers, ionic liquids, alkali metal salts, transition metal complexes, etc., but the concept of green sustainability that is far from the requirements of industrialization is still a huge challenge.…”
