Abstract

The proton transfer strategy was applied to prepare porous liquids (PLs) via one-step mixing at room temperature. Benefiting from the dual effects of the cavities of UiO-66-OH and the reversible addition reaction between carbonyl sites and H2S, the selective capture of H2S over CO2 and CH4 is achieved. Additionally, these PLs can catalyze the reaction of H2S with α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid esters to generate thiols and thioethers.
