Abstract:
Carbon dioxide capture and conversion have attracted extreme enthusiasm from the scientific community owing to global warming and environmental problems. However, conversion of CO2 under atmospheric pressure is of great challenge because of the inertness of CO2. Herein, we present a novel covalent triazine framework (CTF-DCE) prepared via ZnCl2-catalyzed ionothermal trimerization reaction of di(4-cyanophenyl)ethyne, which displays a high Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area of 1355 m2 g-1 and an excellent CO2 capture capacity of 191 mg/g at 273 K/1 bar. More importantly, silver species can be successfully fixed on the CTF matrix to produce a stable CTF-DCE-Ag heterogeneous catalyst for outstanding catalysis in the terminal alkyne carboxylation reactions under atmospheric pressure. CTF-DCE-Ag exhibited over sixfold higher turnover numbers than Ag@MIL-101. The recyclability test of the CTF-DCE-Ag catalyst demonstrated a great potential application in various environmental and energy-related applications.

Alkylation of terminal alkynes with primary alkyl halides in the presence of a strong base like sodium amide is one of the common methods for the synthesis of longer carbon-chain alkynes. For example, treatment of 1-propyne with sodium amide followed by reaction with ethyl bromide yields 2-pentyne.

01:08Covalent Bonds
When two atoms share electrons to complete their valence shells, they create a covalent bond. An atom's electronegativity—the force with which shared electrons are pulled towards an atom—determines how the electrons are shared. Molecules formed with covalent bonds can be either polar or nonpolar. Atoms with similar electronegativities form nonpolar covalent bonds; the electrons are shared equally. Atoms with different electronegativities share electrons unequally,...
