Metal–Organic Framework Catalysts for CO2 Conversion Without Cocatalysts

Alehegn Eskemech synthesized a series of metal–organic frameworks (M-DBTA) under solvothermal conditions. The dataset likely contains structural and catalytic performance data for MOFs using Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, and Zn ions, focusing on their ability to convert CO2 into cyclic carbonates without cocatalysts. It was last updated on figshare in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Comparing catalytic activity based on different metal ions (Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn)
• Analyzing the relationship between CO2 adsorption affinity (Qst) and catalytic yield
• Evaluating catalyst recyclability based on structural integrity over multiple cycles
• Studying the role of Lewis acidic sites in facilitating CO2 conversion under mild conditions

Strengths

• Includes specific catalytic yield results (85% for Mn-DBTA, 87% for Co-DBTA)
• Provides quantitative CO2 affinity data (Qst values ranging from 16 to 47.8 kJ mol–1)
• Demonstrates catalyst recyclability with Co-DBTA maintaining integrity over four cycles

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• The dataset is very small (379.3 KB), indicating limited scope
