Abstract
Quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) simulations offer an efficient way to model reactions occurring in complex environments. This study introduces a specialized set of charge and Lennard-Jones parameters tailored for electrostatically embedded QM/MM calculations, aiming to accurately model both adsorption processes and catalytic reactions in zirconium-based metal-organic frameworks (Zr-MOFs). To validate our approach, we compare adsorption energies derived from QM/MM simulations against experimental results and Monte Carlo simulation outcomes. The developed parameters showcase the ability of QM/MM simulations to represent long-range electrostatic and van der Waals interactions faithfully. This capability is evidenced by the prediction of adsorption energies with a low root mean square error of 1.1 kcal mol-1 across a wide range of adsorbates. The practical applicability of our QM/MM model is further illustrated through the study of glucose isomerization and epimerization reactions catalyzed by two structurally distinct Zr-MOF catalysts, UiO-66 and MOF-808. Our QM/MM calculations closely align with experimental activation energies. Importantly, the parameter set introduced here is compatible with the widely used universal force field (UFF). Moreover, we thoroughly explore how the size of the cluster model and the choice of density functional theory (DFT) methodologies influence the simulation outcomes. This work provides an accurate and computationally efficient framework for modeling complex catalytic reactions within Zr-MOFs, contributing valuable insights into their mechanistic behaviors and facilitating further advancements in this dynamic area of research.

Abstract
Five- and six-membered heterocycles containing nitrogen or oxygen have been considered as privileged scaffolds in organic chemistry and the chemical industry because of their usage in high-value commodities. Herein, we report a two-dimensional (2D) Cu(II)-based MOF catalyst, IITKGP-40, via the strategic employment of ample Lewis acid-base bifunctional sites (open metal nodes and free pyrazine moieties) along the pore wall. IITKGP-40 could convert toxic CO2 to cyclic carbonates in an atom-economical manner under solvent-free conditions and aromatic aldehyde to bioactive 1,4-DHPs via Hantzsch condensation. Exceptional catalytic performance (99%) and turnover number under mild reaction conditions for CO2 fixation using sterically hindered styrene oxide, and good-to-excellent yields for a wide range of aromatic aldehydes toward 1,4-dihydropyridines (1,4-DHPs) make IITKGP-40 promising as a multipurpose heterogeneous catalyst. Moreover, to demonstrate the practical utility of the catalyst, two biologically important drug molecules, diludine and nitrendipine analogue, have also been synthesized. IITKGP-40 is recyclable for at least three consecutive runs without significant loss of activity, making it promising for real-time applications.

Abstract
A new 3D zinc-based metal-organic framework {[Zn7L2(DMF)3(H2O)(OH)2]·5DMF}n (1) (H6L = 5,5',5″-(methylsilanetriyl) triisophthalic acid) was constructed with an organosilicon-based linker, where H6L is a tetrahedral structure furnished with rich -COO- chelating sites for Zn(II) immobilization. Compound 1 exhibited two types of irregular one-dimensional channels and a three-dimensional skeleton with large specific surface area, making it a promising catalytic platform. Moreover, by incorporation of the second metal ion into the inorganic node of framework 1, isomorphic bimetallic MOF ZnMg-1 was successfully synthesized. ZnMg-1 demonstrated enhanced catalytic activity compared to 1 under identical conditions. Contrast experiments and theoretical calculations indicate that bimetallic active sites play a facilitating role in the chemical fixation of epoxides and CO2. It indicated that efficient chemical fixation of CO2 to cyclic carbonates was obtained over isomorphic MOF catalysts 1 and ZnMg-1.

Abstract
Zr-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are excellent heterogeneous porous catalysts due to their thermal stability. Their tunability via node and linker modifications makes them amenable for theoretical studies on catalyst design. However, detailed benchmarks on MOF-based reaction mechanisms combined with kinetics analysis are still scarce. Thus, we here evaluate different computational models and density functional theory (DFT) methods followed by kinetic Monte Carlo studies for a case reaction relevant in biomass upgrading, i.e., the conversion of methyl levulinate to γ-valerolactone catalyzed by UiO-66. We show the impact of cluster versus periodic models, the importance of the DF of choice, and the direct comparison to experimental data via simulated kinetics data. Overall, we found that Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE), a widely employed method in plane-wave periodic calculations, greatly overestimates reaction rates, while M06 with cluster models better fits the available experimental data and is recommended whenever possible.

Abstract
Host-guest chemistry within the confined space of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) offers an almost unlimited myriad of possibilities, hardly accessible with other materials. Here we report the synthesis and physical characterization, with atomic resolution by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, of a novel water-stable tridimensional MOF, derived from the amino acid S-methyl-L-cysteine, {SrZn6[(S,S)-Mecysmox]3(OH)2(H2O)}·9H2O (1), and its application as a robust and efficient solid catalyst for the cycloaddition reaction of ethylene/propylene oxide with CO2 to afford ethylene/propylene carbonate with yields of up to 95% and selectivity of up to 100%. These results nicely illustrate the great potential of MOFs to be game changers for the selective synthesis of industrially relevant products, representing a powerful alternative to the current heterogeneous catalysts.

Abstract
More than the permissible limit of acidic gases like CO2, SO2, and NO2 in the atmosphere are responsible for the formation of acid rain, the greenhouse effect and many other undesirable environmental hazards. So, the capture and utilization of these gases are essential for mankind. Herein, we proposed an azo-based square pillared MOF, [Ni(MF5)(1,2-bis(4-pyridy)diazene)2]n, with the CUS metal site, i.e. M = Al/Fe, for the selective capture and conversion of acidic gas molecules into commodity chemicals such as cyclic carbonate, sulphite and nitrite. With the aid of Density Functional Theory (DFT), [Ni(MF5)(1,2-bis(4-pyridy)diazene)2]n has been optimized, and the specific force field is derived via guest-host interaction. The Grand Canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulation has been used to explore the guest-host interactions over a wide range of pressures, and their respective stability under pre-humidification is evaluated. The adsorption prediction reveals that MFFIVE-Ni-apy have a higher adsorptive capacity (37.1 mmol g-1), and especially ALFFIVE-Ni-apy possesses a higher affinity towards guest molecules (CO2, SO2) rather than FEFFIVE-Ni-apy. Additionally, the adsorption of gases in the presence of humidity reveals that ALFFIVE-Ni-apy has an optimal adsorption capacity for all investigated acidic gases even at 38.5 RH%. The absorbed acidic gases on MFFIVE-Ni-apy were used for the theoretical investigations on cycloaddition with the aid of DFT as an application perspective of the toxic gases instead of expelling into atmosphere. The Climbing Image Nudged Elastic Band (CI-NEB) approach was used to discover the transition state in this scenario, in which the cycloaddition of adsorbed CO2, SO2, and NO2 gases with epoxides leads to the formation of cyclic carbonates, sulphites, and nitrates, respectively.

Abstract
Thermocatalysis of CO2 into high valuable products is an efficient and green method for mitigating global warming and other environmental problems, of which Noble-metal-free metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are one of the most promising heterogeneous catalysts for CO2 thermocatalysis, and many excellent researches have been published. Hence, this review focuses on the valuable products obtained from various CO2 conversion reactions catalyzed by noble-metal-free MOFs, such as cyclic carbonates, oxazolidinones, carboxylic acids, N-phenylformamide, methanol, ethanol, and methane. We classified these published references according to the types of products, and analyzed the methods for improving the catalytic efficiency of MOFs in CO2 reaction. The advantages of using noble-metal-free MOF catalysts for CO2 conversion were also discussed along the text. This review concludes with future perspectives on the challenges to be addressed and potential research directions. We believe that this review will be helpful to readers and attract more scientists to join the topic of CO2 conversion.

Abstract
Recently, researchers have focused on preparing and studying proton exchange membranes. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are candidates for composite membrane fillers due to their high crystallinity and structural characteristics, and Hf-based MOFs have attracted our attention with their high porosity and high stability. Therefore, in this study, Hf-based MOFs were doped into a cost-effective chitosan matrix as fillers to fabricate composite films having excellent proton conductivity (σ). First, the nanoscale MOFs Hf-UiO-66-(OH)2 (1) and Hf-UiO-66-NH2 (2) were chemically modified by a ligand design strategy to obtain SA-1 and CBD-2 bearing free -COOH units. The proton conductivities of SA-1 and CBD-2 under optimal test conditions reached 1.23 × 10-2 and 0.71 × 10-2 S cm-1. After that, we prepared composite membranes CS/SA-1 and CS/CBD-2 by the casting method; tests revealed that the introduction of MOFs improved the stabilities and σ values of the membranes, and their best σ could reach above 10-2 S cm-1 under 100 °C/98% RH. Further structural characterization and activation energy calculation revealed the conductive mechanism of the composite films. This investigation not only proposes a novel chemical modification method for optimizing the σ of MOFs but also promotes the development of MOF-doped composite membranes and provides a basis for future applications of MOFs in fuel cells.

Abstract
A multifaceted metal-organic framework (MOF) with task-specific site-engineered pores can promise high-temperature and moisture-tolerant capture and non-redox fixation of CO2 under mild conditions as well as ultrasensitive detection of carcinogenic contaminants in water. Herein, we report a pillar-bilayered MOF that holds a nanochannel with contrasting functionalities for both these sustainable applications with improved performance characteristics. The twofold entangled robust framework exhibits CO2 adsorption at elevated temperatures with considerable MOF-gas interaction. Interestingly, CO2 selectivity unveils nearly a 3-fold improvement upon the rise of temperature, affording a CO2/N2 value of 820 at 313 K, which outperforms many porous adsorbents. Additionally, breakthrough simulation establishes complete separation and attests the potential of this MOF in the separation of flue gas mixture. Importantly, minor CO2 loss during multiple capture-release cycles and under a relative humidity of 75% promise practical usability of the material. Density functional theory (DFT) not only portrays the atomistic level snapshots of temperature-triggered CO2 inclusion inside this microporous vessel alongside the role of diverse CO2-philic sites but also validates the basis of N2-phobicity of an azo-functionalized linker on such increased selectivity. The guest-free MOF further demonstrates non-redox and recyclable CO2 fixation with wide epoxide tolerance under solvent-free mild conditions and even works at atmospheric pressure and room temperature. The crucial roles of high-density acid-base sites in both adsorption and catalysis are supported by control experiments and by comparing the activity of an unfunctionalized MOF. The hydrolytic stability and strong luminescence signature benefit the framework in aqueous-phase selective and fast responsive detection of detrimental roxarsone (ROX) with high quenching (7.56 × 104 M-1) and very low sensitivity (68 nM). Apart from varying degrees of an energy-transfer mechanism, the fluorosensing of ROX is comprehensively supported by in-depth DFT studies that manifest alteration of MOF energy levels in the presence of organoarsenic compounds and depict MOF-analyte supramolecular interactions.

Abstract
Development of the multifaceted metal-organic framework (MOF) with in situ engineered task-specific sites can promise proficient oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and high-temperature adsorption cum mild-condition fixation of CO2. In fact, effective assimilation of these attributes onto a single material with advance performance characteristics is practically imperative in view of renewable energy application and carbon-footprint reduction. Herein, we developed a three-fold interpenetrated robust Co(II) framework that embraces both redox-active and hydrogen-bond donor moieties inside the microporous channel. The activated MOF demonstrates notable OER catalysis in alkaline medium via quasi-reversible Co2+/Co3+ couple and unveils low overpotential with impressive 53.5 mV/dec Tafel slope that overpowers some benchmark, commercial, as well as contemporary materials. In particular, significantly increased turnover frequency (3.313 s-1 at 400 mV) and fairly low charge-transfer resistance (3.02 Ω) compared to Co3O4, NiO, and majority of redox-active MOFs together with 91% Faradaic efficiency and notable framework durability after multiple OER cycles endorse high-performance water oxidation. Pore-wall decked urea groups benefit appreciable CO2 adsorption even at elevated temperatures with considerable MOF-CO2 interactions and exhibit recurrent capture-release cycles at diverse temperatures. Interestingly, CO2 selectivity displays radical upsurge with temperature rise, affording 40% improved CO2/N2 value of 200 at 313 K, which outperforms many porous adsorbents and delineates real-time CO2 scavenging potential. The guest-free MOF effectively catalyzes solvent-free CO2 cycloaddition with broad substrate tolerance and satisfactory reusability under relatively mild condition. Opposed to the common Lewis acid-mediated reaction, two-point hydrogen-bonding activates the substrate, as supported from controlled experiments, juxtaposing the performance of an un-functionalized MOF and fluorescence modification-derived framework-epoxide interaction, providing valuable insights on unconventional cycloaddition route in the MOF.

Abstract
Numerous efforts are being made toward constructing artificial nanopockets inside heterogeneous catalysts to implement challenging reactions that are difficult to occur on traditional heterogeneous catalysts. Here, the enzyme-mimetic nanopockets are fabricated inside the typical UiO-66 by coordinating zirconium nodes with terephthalate (BDC) ligands and monocarboxylate modulators including formic acid (FC), acetic acid (AC), or trifluoroacetic acid (TFA). When used in transfer hydrogenation of alkyl levulinates with isopropanol toward γ-valerolactone (GVL), these modulators endow zirconium sites with enhanced activity and selectivity and good stability. The catalytic activity of UiO-66FC is ~30 times that of UiO-66, also outperforming the state-of-the-art heterogeneous catalysts. Distinct from general consensus on electron-withdrawing or electron-donating effect on the altered activity of metal centers, this improvement mainly originates from the conformational change of modulators in the nanopocket to assist forming the rate-determining six-membered ring intermediate at zirconium sites, which are stabilized by van der Waals force interactions.

Abstract
Stable metal-organic frameworks containing periodically arranged nanosized pores and active Lewis acid-base active sites are considered as ideal candidates for efficient heterogeneous catalysis. Herein, the exquisite combination of [Y2(CO2)7(H2O)2] cluster (abbreviated as {Y2}) and multifunctional linker of 2,4,6-tri(2,4-dicarboxyphenyl)pyridine (H6TDP) led to a nanoporous framework of {[Y2(TDP)(H2O)2]·5H2O·4DMF}n (NUC-53, NUC = North University of China), which is a rarely reported binuclear three-dimensional (3D) framework with hierarchical tetragonal-microporous (0.78 nm) and octagonal-nanoporous (1.75 nm) channels. The inner walls of these channels are aligned by {Y2} clusters and plentifully coexisted Lewis acid-base sites of YIII ions and Npyridine atoms. Furthermore, NUC-53 has a quite large void volume of ∼65.2%, which is significantly higher than most documented 3D rare-earth-based MOFs. The performed catalytic experiments exhibited that activated NUC-53 showed a high catalytic activity on the cycloaddition reactions of CO2 with styrene oxide under mild conditions with excellent turnover number (TON: 1980) and turnover frequency (TOF: 495 h-1). Moreover, the deacetalization-Knoevenagel condensation reactions of benzaldehyde dimethyl acetal and malononitrile could be efficiently prompted by the heterogeneous catalyst of NUC-53. These findings not only pave the way for the construction of nanoporous MOF based on rare-earth clusters with a variety of catalytic activities but also provide some new insights into the catalytic mechanism.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are gaining importance in the field of biomass conversion and valorization due to their porosity, well-defined active sites, and broad tunability. But for a proper catalyst design, we first need detailed insight of the system at the atomic level. Herein, we present the reaction mechanism of methyl levulinate to γ-valerolactone on Zr-based UiO-66 by means of periodic density functional theory (DFT). We demonstrate the role of Zr-based nodes in the catalytic transfer hydrogenation (CTH) and cyclization steps. From there, we perform a computational screening to reveal key catalyst modifications to improve the process, such as node doping and linker exchange.

Abstract
Carbon dioxide (CO2) utilization and one-pot Hantzsch condensation denote two important protocols pertinent to sustainable agenda because of the obvious advantages like reduction in chemical usage, short reaction time, and minimum waste generation. To this end, the astute combination of optimum-sized pore structure with built-in Lewis acid center in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can bring about such reactions under energetically favorable conditions and offer a step forward to size-exclusive catalysis. The chemoresistant and twofold interpenetrated Cu(II) framework CSMCRI-13 (CSMCRI = Central Salt & Marine Chemicals Research Institute) is built from a C3-symmetric tricarboxylate ligand and an N,N'-donor linker that undergo incisive amalgamation of the paddle-wheel [Cu2(COO)4] secondary building unit (SBU) and the intrinsically unsaturated Cu(II) node with four coordination. The microporous structure features a dual-pore containing cage-like network with free oxygen-atom-enriched cavities and exhibits appreciable CO2 adsorption with moderate MOF-CO2 interaction in activated form (13a). Benefitting from both, the coordinatively frustrated metal center containing MOF acts as a highly synergistic and solvent-free catalyst in CO2 cycloaddition reaction under an 8 bar CO2 pressure at 70 °C in 6 h. The catalyst furnished admirable reactivity and fair recyclability with a wide range of substrates, wherein sterically encumbered and long-chain epoxides produced poor conversion. This MOF further executes highly regenerable Hantzsch condensation reaction under mild condition with superior activity to contemporary materials, where most of the 1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives are additionally characterized through the single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Importantly, mechanistic proof of the tricomponent condensation involving built-in Lewis acid sites is validated from several control experiments and in-depth analytical studies. To the best of the single-step multicomponent reaction, substrate molecules having incompatible molecular dimension to that of pore size of the framework resulted insignificant conversion and demonstrated the first-ever pore-fitting-induced size selectivity in Hantzsch condensation.

Abstract
A series of MOFs with a 6-connected spn topology were synthesized (MOF-808-(Zr, Hf), PCN-777-(Zr, Hf), MOF-818-(Zr, Hf)). Through the in situ DRIFTS of NH3 adsorption-desorption, we found that the activated catalyst mainly contains Lewis acid sites. The effects of different organic ligands on the Lewis acid of the Zr6 cluster were analyzed by XPS and NH3 -TPD, and the relative Lewis acidity of the same metal was obtained: PCN-777>MOF-808>MOF-818. In the Py-FTIR results, we confirmed that MOF-818 has a higher acid site density. In the activity test, MOFs with mesoporous structure showed better catalytic activity under normal temperature and pressure. Among them, MOF-818 can still maintain a high degree of crystallinity after catalysis. Finally, we use density functional theory to propose the mechanism of the cycloaddition reaction of carbon dioxide and styrene oxide. The results show that the metal is coordinated with styrene oxide and halogens attack the β carbon of the epoxide.

Abstract
Zirconium metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can be promising adsorbents for various applications as they are highly stable in different chemical environments. In this work, a collection of Zr-MOFs comprised of more than 100 materials is screened for CF4/CH4, CH4/H2, and CH4/N2 separations using atomistic-level simulations. The top three MOFs for the CF4/CH4 separation are identified as PCN-700-BPDC-TPDC, LIFM-90, and BUT-67 exhibiting CF4/CH4 adsorption selectivities of 4.8, 4.6, and 4.7, CF4 working capacities of 2.0, 2.0, and 2.1 mol kg-1, and regenerabilities of 85.1, 84.2, and 75.7%, respectively. For the CH4/H2 separation, MOF-812, BUT-67, and BUT-66 are determined to be the top performing MOFs demonstrating CH4/H2 selectivities of 61.6, 36.7, and 46.2, CH4 working capacities of 3.0, 4.1, and 3.4 mol kg-1, and CH4 regenerabilities of 70.7, 82.7, and 74.7%, respectively. Regarding the CH4/N2 separation, BUT-67, Zr-AbBA, and PCN-702 achieving CH4/N2 selectivities of 4.5, 3.4, and 3.8, CH4 working capacities of 3.6, 3.9, and 3.5 mol kg-1, and CH4 regenerabilities of 81.1, 84.0, and 84.5%, in successive order, show the best overall separation performances. To further elucidate the adsorption in top performing adsorbents, the adsorption sites in these materials are analyzed using radial distribution functions and adsorbate density profiles. Finally, the water affinities of Zr-MOFs are explored to comment on their practical use in real gas separation applications. Our findings may inspire future studies probing the adsorption/separation mechanisms and performances of Zr-MOFs for different gases.

Abstract
Crystalline porous materials (CPM)-200-In and CPM-200-In/Mg metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) were synthesized by a solvothermal method and were characterized by using powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), FT-IR, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), temperature programmed desorption (TPD), TGA, XPS, and SEM-EDS. They were used as heterogeneous catalysts for the cycloaddition of CO2 with epoxides and found to be highly efficient toward the cycloaddition reaction at moderate reaction conditions under solvent-free conditions. The catalyst was easily separated by a simple filtration and can be reused up to five consecutive times without any considerable decrease of its initial activity. CPM-200-In/Mg showed excellent catalytic performance in the cycloaddition reaction due to the synergistic role of the acidic sites and basic sites. A plausible reaction mechanism for the CPM-200-In/Mg MOF catalyzed cycloaddition reaction is proposed based on the experimental results and our previously reported DFT (Density Functional Theory) studies.

Abstract
Metal-organic framework (MOF) in biomass valorization is a promising technology developed in recent decades. By tailoring both the metal nodes and organic ligands, MOFs exhibit multiple functionalities, which not only extend their applicability in biomass conversion but also increase the complexity of material designs. To address this issue, quantum mechanical simulations have been used to provide mechanistic insights into the catalysis of biomass-derived molecules, which could potentially facilitate the development of novel MOF-based materials for biomass valorization. The aim of this review is to survey recent quantum mechanical simulations on biomass reactions occurring in MOF catalysts, with the emphasis on the studies of the catalytic activity of active sites and the effects of organic ligand and porous structures on the kinetics. Moreover, different model systems and computational methods used for MOF simulations are also surveyed and discussed in this review.

Abstract
The exquisite combination of Ba2+ and Zn2+ with the aid of 2,4,6-tri(2,4-dicarboxyphenyl)pyridine (H6TDP) under the condition of solvothermal self-assembly generates one highly robust [Ba3Zn4(CO2)12(HCO2)2(OH2)2]-organic framework of {[Ba3Zn4(TDP)2(HCO2)2(OH2)2]·7DMF·4H2O}n (NUC-27), in which adjacent 2D layers are interlaced via hydrogen-bonding interactions to form a 3D skeleton with peapod-like channels and nano-caged voids. It is worth emphasizing that both Ba2+ and Zn2+ ions in NUC-27 display the extremely low coordination modes: hexa-coordinated [Ba(1)] and tetra-coordinated [Ba(2), Zn(1), and Zn(2)]. Furthermore, to the best our knowledge, NUC-27 is one scarcely reported 2D-based nanomaterial with an unprecedented Z-shaped hepta-nuclear heterometallic cluster of [Ba3Zn4(CO2)12(HCO2)2(OH2)2] as SBUs, which not only has plentiful low-coordinated open metal sites but also has the excellent physicochemical properties including omni-directional opening pores, ultrahigh porosity, larger specific surface area, and the coexistence of Lewis acid-base sites. Just as expected, thanks to its rich active metal sites and pyridine groups as strong Lewis acid-base roles, completely activated NUC-27 displays high catalytic efficiency on the chemical transformation of epoxides with CO2 into cyclic carbonates under mild conditions and effectively accelerates the reaction process of Knoevenagel condensation.

Abstract
The development of efficient heterogeneous catalysts suitable for carbon capture and utilization (CCU) under mild conditions is a promising step towards mitigating the growing concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere. Herein, we report the construction of a hydrogen-bonded 3D framework, {[Zn(hfipbba)(MA)]⋅3 DMF}n (hfipbba=4,4'-(hexaflouroisopropylene)bis(benzoic acid)) (HbMOF1) utilizing ZnII center, a partially fluorinated, long-chain dicarboxylate ligand (hfipbba), and an amine-rich melamine (MA) co-ligand. Interestingly, the framework possesses two types of 1D channels decorated with CO2 -philic (-NH2 and -CF3 ) groups that promote the highly selective CO2 adsorption by the framework, which was supported by computational simulations. Further, the synergistic involvement of both Lewis acidic and basic sites exposed in the confined 1D channels along with high thermal and chemical stability rendered HbMOF1 a good heterogeneous catalyst for the highly efficient fixation of CO2 in a reaction with terminal/internal epoxides at mild conditions (RT and 1 bar CO2 ). Moreover, in-depth theoretical studies were carried out using periodic DFT to obtain the relative energies for each stage involved in the catalytic reaction and an insight mechanistic details of the reaction is presented. Overall, this work represents a rare demonstration of rational design of a porous ZnII MOF incorporating multiple functional sites suitable for highly efficient fixation of CO2 with terminal/internal epoxides at mild conditions supported by comprehensive theoretical studies.
