Influence of Metal Ions on MOFs for Cocatalyst-Free CO2 Conversion

Alehegn Eskemech synthesized a series of metal–organic frameworks (M-DBTA) using six metal ions (Mn2+, Fe3+, Co2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, Zn2+) to study their catalytic efficiency for converting CO2 into cyclic carbonates. The dataset likely contains structural and catalytic performance data, including yields and CO2 affinity measurements, for these materials. It was published on figshare in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Compare catalytic yields of different metal ions based on the reported yields for Mn-DBTA (85%) and Co-DBTA (87%).
• Analyze the relationship between CO2 affinity (Qst) and catalytic activity based on the reported affinity values for Co-DBTA (47.8–28.9 kJ mol–1) and Mn-DBTA (16–28 kJ mol–1).
• Evaluate catalyst recyclability based on the mention of Co-DBTA maintaining structural integrity over four cycles.
• Study the effect of Lewis acidic sites on CO2 conversion under mild conditions as described in the summary.

Strengths

• Catalytic yields for specific MOFs are reported (85% for Mn-DBTA, 87% for Co-DBTA).
• CO2 affinity (Qst) values are provided for Co-DBTA (47.8–28.9 kJ mol–1) and Mn-DBTA (16–28 kJ mol–1).
• Recyclability data is mentioned for Co-DBTA over four cycles.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small (346.8 KB), indicating limited scope.
