Abstract

A new metal-organic polyhedron with a high surface area of 407 m² g^-1, possessing high CO₂ uptake, is reported, which is synthesized using 4-connected Cu₂(CO₂)₄ paddle-wheel moieties and 3-connected semi-rigid tripodal carboxylates. This material possesses a high density of Cu(II) Lewis acidic sites and demonstrates excellent performance as a heterogeneous catalyst for the chemical fixation of CO₂ into cyclic carbonates under ambient conditions.
