The reaction of propargylic amines and CO2 can provide high-value-added chemical products. However, most of catalysts in such reactions employ noble metals to obtain high yield, and it is important to seek eco-friendly noble-metal-free MOFs catalysts. Here, a giant and lantern-like [Zn116 ] nanocage in zinc-tetrazole 3D framework [Zn22 (Trz)8 (OH)12 (H2 O)9 ⋅8 H2 O]n Trz=(C4 N12 O)4- (1) was obtained and structurally characterized. It consists of six [Zn14 O21 ] clusters and eight [Zn4 O4 ] clusters. To our knowledge, this is the highest-nuclearity nanocages constructed by Zn-clusters as building blocks to date. Importantly, catalytic investigations reveal that 1 can efficiently catalyze the cycloaddition of propargylic amines with CO2 , exclusively affording various 2-oxazolidinones under mild conditions. It is the first eco-friendly noble-metal-free MOFs catalyst for the cyclization of propargylic amines with CO2 . DFT calculations uncover that ZnII ions can efficiently activate both C≡C bonds of propargylic amines and CO2 by coordination interaction. NMR and FTIR spectroscopy further prove that Zn-clusters play an important role in activating C≡C bonds of propargylic amines. Furthermore, the electronic properties of related reactants, intermediates and products can help to understand the basic reaction mechanism and crucial role of catalyst 1.
