Quaternary ammonium group functionalized F-ZIF-90 was suc- cessfully prepared through the reaction of ZIF-90 with hydrazine followed by the quaternization by alkyl halide. In the synthesis of the cyclic carbonate from AGE and carbon dioxide, the F-ZIF-90 showed excellent catalytic activity without the use of any solvent and co-catalyst. The AGE yield showed maxima as the temperature and CO pressure increased. However, the loss of its superior cat- 2 alytic performance and distinctive crystalline nature was inevitable when it was reused.
