Abstract

A novel cluster-based MOF with uncommon multicentered Zn^I–Zn^I bonds {[K_1.2Na_2.8Zn^I₈(HL)₁₂]·4H₂O}_n (HL = tetrazole monoanion) (1) was synthesized, which showed higher stability than the reported Zn^I–Zn^I bonded compounds. Moreover, 1 can effectively and circularly catalyze the cyclization of CO₂ and aziridines or epoxides with five substituent groups. Importantly, this is the first time that the catalytic properties of MOFs with multicentered metal–metal bonded clusters as the catalyst have been studied.
