Boosting CO chemical fixation over MOF-808 by the introduction of functional groups and defective Zr sites.

CO cycloaddition has emerged as a promising approach for producing value-added cyclocarbonates and mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. Although MOF-808 serves as a stable catalyst for cycloaddition, its limited activity constrains broader applications. Through the modification with a fluoride group a ligand exchange method, F-MOF-808-1.
