摘要

An expanded pyridyl-decorated MOF-505 analogue[Cu-2(L)(H2O)(2)]center dot G(x) (H4L = 5,5'-(pyridine-2,5-diyl)-diisophthalic acid, G = solvent molecule) has been solvothermally synthesized and reported. It exhibited rare hierarchical meso- and microporosity. With exposed unsaturated Cu-II sites and Lewis basic pyridyl sites, the material shows both large CO2-uptake capacity (123.4 cm(3) g(-1) at 273 K, 1 bar) and high selectivity for CO2 over N-2 (55.7) at 273 K. Furthermore, for the first time the compound has been exploited for its heterogeneous catalytic performance toward the cyanosilylation reaction under solvent-free conditions. The compound can be recycled up to five times with only a minor loss of activity.
