Summary: CO2-epoxide cycloaddition is an attractive method for the utilization of CO2, but efficient and heterogeneous catalysis remains challenging. In this work, stepwise optimization of ionic metal-organic frameworks (IMOFs) catalysts was performed by integrating multiple catalytic sites into MIL-101. The optimized IMOFs showed superior catalytic activity compared to previous ionic heterogeneous catalysts, especially the dicationic catalyst which could quantitatively convert epichlorohydrin to carbonate within 1 hour.
