Metal phosphonates as heterogeneous catalysts for highly efficient chemical fixation of CO₂ under mild conditions

Abstract

In this study, two novel metal phosphonate networks based on zoledronic acid ( (1-hydroxy-2-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)ethane-1,1-diyl)bis(phosphonic acid), abbreviated as EIBPA ), with chemical formula [Co3(HEIBPA)2(H3PO4)2(H2O)2] and [Cd3(HEIBPA)2(H2O)4]·2H2O, namely compound 1 and 2,...
