Cover Story: This study explores the design, synthesis, and catalytic application of a newly synthesized nitrogen-rich Zn(II) MOF (ZnMOF) for the proficient conversion of carbon dioxide into cyclic carbonates through cycloaddition to epoxides. The investigation encompasses diverse aspects, including the test of the catalytic activity of ZnMOF with various epoxides, yielding products with a notable efficiency up to 99%. The study also explores the influence of co-catalysts on the reaction, identifying tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBABr) as the most effective one. Finally, a plausible reaction mechanism is proposed aiming to shed light on the ZnMOF efficacy as a catalyst in the sustainable conversion of CO2 to cyclic carbonates. View this paper
