Frustrated Lewis pair-mediated fixation of CO2 within a metal–organic framework

Finding pragmatic solutions to curb the accumulation of atmospheric CO2 and tackle the associated greenhouse effect is challenging. Herein, we demonstrate the use of an in situ formed frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) within a metal–organic framework (MOF) to effectively hydrogenate CO2 to methoxide at a...

Zusammenfassung:Finding pragmatic solutions to curb the accumulation of atmospheric CO2 and tackle the associated greenhouse effect is challenging. Herein, we demonstrate the use of an in situ formed frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) within a metal–organic framework (MOF) to effectively hydrogenate CO2 to methoxide at a relatively low temperature and pressure. The work presents a step toward the discovery of practical catalysts for CO2 reduction and conversion.
