Two metal–organic frameworks sharing the same basic framework show distinct interpenetration degrees and different performances in CO2 catalytic conversion†
Abstract
Two metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) with the same basic framework but different degrees of interpenetration were successfully assembled from the same tetracarboxylate ligand and Cu(II) ions in different solvents, which show remarkably different catalytic activities in CO2 cycloaddition reactions owing to their different pore sizes.
