It remains a significant challenge to develop a cata-lyst that merges the advantages of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis with high reactivity and great recyclability.Herein,an atomically precise Cu6-NH2 nanocluster with distorted octahedral Cu6 core and NH2-functionalized ligands has been devel-oped as the first homo/heterogeneous catalyst to catalyze the cyclization reaction of propargylic amines with carbon dioxide(CO2)under mild condi-tions.As a homogeneous catalyst,Cu6-NH2 shows excellent catalytic activity with high turnover fre-quency due to highly accessible active sites.The definite coordination geometry and homogeneity nature of active centers make it convenient to inves-tigate the structure-activity relationship at the atom-ic level through experiments and theory calculations.In addition,the nanocluster exhibits excellent stabili-ty,great recrystallizability,and reusability in five catalytic cycles,in which its catalytic performance has no obvious decrease.Moreover,Cu6-NH2 incor-porates Lewis acid and base sites in metal and ligand,respectively,which can promote catalytic efficiency in a synergistic effect in the absence of any cocatalysts.Importantly,Cu6-NH2 can realize direct conversion of CO2 in simulated flue gas into oxazo-lidinones with high efficiency.The metal-ligand co-operative effect and integrated advantages of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis would provide new perspectives to achieve advanced metal nanocluster catalysts for CO2 conversion.
