A highly stable MnII phosphonate as a highly efficient catalyst for CO2 fixation under ambient conditions

Abstract

With coordinatively unsaturated metal centers decorating the channel walls, a Mn^II phosphonate exhibits highly efficient and substrate size-selective catalysis in the context of CO₂ chemical conversion into cyclic carbonates under 1 atm pressure and at room temperature, proving to be a promising heterogeneous catalyst in an eco-friendly and energy efficient way.
