CO 2 is considered as the primary greenhouse gas, resulting in a series of serious environmental problems that affect people's life and health. Carbon capture and sequestration has been implemented as one of the most appealing pathways to control and use CO 2 . Here, we rationally integrate various functional sites within the confined nanospace of a microporous metal–organic framework (MOF) material, which is constructed by mixed‐ligand strategy based on metal‐adeninate vertices. It not only exhibits excellent stability but also can efficiently transform CO 2 and epoxides to cyclic carbonates under mild and cocatalyst‐free conditions. Additionally, this catalyst shows extraordinary recyclability for the CO 2 cycloaddition reaction.
