Abstract
A method of fixating carbon dioxide (CO2) to form a substituted oxazolidinone is described. The method includes mixing a metal-organic framework (MOF), at least one epoxide, and at least one aromatic amine to form a mixture. The method further includes contacting the mixture with a gas stream containing CO2 to react the CO2 in the gas stream with the epoxide and the aromatic amine to form a substituted oxazolidinone. The MOF is a MIL-68(In)—X MOF. X is of formula (I): where at least one of R1 to R4 is an amine-containing group, and R1 to R4 are independently an amine-containing group or a hydrogen.
