Abstract
Herein, we reported a facile strategy for the preparation of trifunctional ionic metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) incorporating imidazolium cation functionalities. This strategy exploits the Debus-Radziszewski reaction to create the cationic imidazole ring by postsynthetic modification, meanwhile introducing exchangeable counteranions. On the basis of this strategy, MIL-101-IMOH-Br- has been synthesized, which combines Lewis acidic sites, Brønsted acidic sites, and nucleophilic centers to achieve catalysis for the carbon dioxide-epoxide cycloaddition into cyclocarbonate without any cocatalyst and solvent.
