| Abstract: | A porous rtl metal–organic framework (MOF) Mn5L(H2O)6?(DMA)2]?5DMA?4C2H5OH ( 1? Mn) (H10L=5,10,15,20‐tetra(4‐(3,5‐dicarboxylphenoxy)phenyl)porphyrin; DMA=N,N′‐dimethylacetamide) was synthesized by employing a new porphyrin‐based octacarboxylic acid ligand. 1? Mn exhibits high MnII density in the porous framework, providing it great Lewis‐acid heterogeneous catalytic capability for the cycloaddition of CO2 with epoxides. Strikingly, 1? Mn features excellent catalytic activity to the cycloaddition of CO2 to epoxides, with a remarkable initial turnover frequency 400 per mole of catalyst per hour at 20 atm. As‐synthesized 1? Mn also exhibits size selectivity to different epoxide substrates on account of their steric hindrance. The high catalytic activity, size selectivity, and stability toward the epoxides on catalytic cycloaddition of CO2 make 1? Mn a promising heterogeneous catalyst for fixation and utilization of CO2. |
