| Abstract: | The effective utilization of CO2 as a
renewable raw material for the production of useful chemicals is an area of
enormous interest. In particular, the catalytic conversion of CO2
into cyclic carbonates, which are useful chemical intermediates employed for
the production of plastics and organic solvents, represents an attractive route
for the efficient use of carbon dioxide. The development of superior
performance catalysts requires novel materials with fundamentally different
structural, compositional, adsorption and transport properties than those of
conventional zeolite, metal oxides or metal phases. In this respect, metal
organic frameworks have emerged as a novel type of crystalline porous materials
which combine highly desirable properties, such as uniform micropores, high
surface areas, flexible chemistries and exceptionally high thermal and chemical
stability, making them ideal candidates for catalytic applications. Herein, we
discuss the catalytic activity of two prototypical metal organic frameworks,
namely ZIF-8 and Cu3(BTC)2 in the synthesis of
chloropropene carbonate from CO2 and epichlorohydrin. |
