What a pair! MOF MIL‐68(In)‐NH 2 was used to catalyze the synthesis of styrene carbonate from styrene oxide and CO 2 . Amine substitution on the linker of MIL‐68(In) promotes the synthesis of cyclic carbonate from styrene epoxide and CO 2 . Ab initio calculations and in situ characterization indicate that ligand substitution has a larger impact through electronic effects on the Brønsted site than through CO 2 activation.
