Abstract:
A three-dimensional polymolybdate-based metal-organic framework (POMOF) consisting of Zn-ε-Keggin unit and organic linker, {[PMo8VMo4VIO37(OH)3Zn4][BPE]2}·[BPE] (1), was successfully obtained by the hydrothermal method. Compound 1 is composed of Zn-ε-Keggin units and BPE ligands, featuring a fascinating 5-fold interpenetrating framework with topology. The catalytic performance of compound 1 was investigated, and experiments showed that 1 could effectively facilitate the cycloaddition reaction of CO2 with epoxides as Lewis acid heterogeneous catalyst. Moreover, compound 1 also was studied as LIBs anode material, and it showed reversible capacity of 546 mA h g-1 at 100th cycle.

In these complexes, transition metals form coordinate covalent bonds, a kind of Lewis acid-base interaction in which both of the electrons in the bond are contributed by a donor (Lewis base) to an electron acceptor (Lewis acid). The Lewis acid in...
