Silver nanoparticles were successfully supported on the zeolite‐type metal–organic framework MIL‐101 to yield Ag@MIL‐101 by a simple liquid impregnation method. For the first time, the conversion of terminal alkynes into propiolic acids with CO 2 was achieved by the use of the Ag@MIL‐101 catalysts. Owing to the excellent catalytic activity, the reaction proceeded at atmospheric pressure and low temperature (50 °C). The Ag@MIL‐101 porous material is of outstanding bifunctional character as it is capable of simultaneously capturing and converting CO 2 with low energy consumption and can be recovered easily by centrifugation.
