Simultaneous Presence of Open Metal Sites and Amine Groups on a 3D Dy(III)-Metal–Organic Framework Catalyst for Mild and Solvent-Free Conversion of CO₂ to Cyclic Carbonates

Abstract

-TMU-73 features high structural stability and can be recycled and reused in subsequent catalytic tests. An important role of free amino groups and open metal sites in the MOF catalyst was highlighted when suggesting a possible reaction mechanism.
