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

Finding pragmatic solutions to curb the accumulation of atmospheric CO 2 and tackle the associated greenhouse effect is challenging.

Summary:Finding pragmatic solutions to curb the accumulation of atmospheric CO 2 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 CO 2 to methoxide at a relatively low temperature and pressure. The work presents a step toward the discovery of practical catalysts for CO 2 reduction and conversion. We demonstrate the use of an in situ formed frustrated Lewis pair within MOF-545 to effectively hydrogenate CO 2 to methoxide at a low temperature and pressure.
