Tailored engineering of primary catalytic sites and secondary coordination spheres in metalloenzyme-mimetic MOF catalysts for boosting efficient CO2 conversion

A series of MOF catalysts UiO-67-(BPY-Cu)-F x were constructed, which exhibited remarkable metalloenzyme-mimetic behavior in the carboxylic cyclization between propargylamines and CO 2 , resulting in the highest TOF under similar conditions.
