Soluble imidazolium-functionalized coordination cages for efficient homogeneous catalysis of CO2 cycloaddition reactions
Keyword(s):
The soluble metal–organic cage ImBDC-Co can be employed as a homogeneous catalyst for the CO2 cycloaddition reaction, and shows higher catalytic activity than its heterogeneous counterparts. Moreover, the soluble cage can realize recovery and reuse without activity loss.
