Abstract
A mesoporous cationic Cr-MOF, termed
FJI-C10
, containing imidazolium moieties, Lewis acidic Cr
3+
sites and free halogens is constructed for the first time by a topology-guided one-pot synthesis.
FJI-C10
exhibits excellent performances in CO
2
adsorption (20.2 wt% at 273 K and 1 bar) and chemical fixation of CO
2
into cyclic carbonates without the use of co-catalyst under atmospheric pressure.
