Amino and triazole-containing metal-organic frameworks for highly efficient CO2 fixation.

In this study, a novel porous metal-organic framework (MOF) functionalized with amino and triazole moieties has been synthesized. Attributed to the high affinity to CO2 and unsaturated zinc centers, the MOF exhibits high catalytic activity for the CO2 to epoxide cycloaddition reaction, with a turnover number value of up to 10 000 per cycle, and can be reused at least for 20 cycles.
