Combination of dimensional reduction and active site addition strategies for preparing unique {RE₉}-cluster-based MOFs: efficient CO₂ fixation and Knoevenagel condensation

Abstract

A series of 2D {RE 9 }-cluster-based rare-earth MOFs were built by dimensional reduction and active site addition strategies. They exhibit excellent catalytic activity in CO 2 fixation and Knoevenagel condensation under mild conditions.
