Integration of multifunctionalities on ionic liquid-anchored MIL-101(Cr): A robust and efficient heterogeneous catalyst for conversion of CO2 into cyclic carbonates

The rational integration of multiple functional components into a suitable matrix material is a promising strategy for constructing efficient catalysts for specific applications. Herein, a novel Zn-containing imidazolium bromide was facilely anchored onto MIL-101(Cr) (MIL-101(Cr)-(AIm)2ZnBr2) via a coordination bond between the amino group in ionic liquid (IL) moiety and unsaturated Cr3+ center in MOF framework, which catalyzed the efficient...
