Manganese-based metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) metalated with Rh were used as pre-catalysts for CO₂ hydrogenation. Activated in situ (80 % H₂, 20 % CO₂, 350°C), the resulting templated catalysts displayed CO₂ conversion of up to 20 %, with CH₄ as the main product. Used catalysts were compared with samples templated in 5 % H₂/Ar at 350°C using powder X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It was found that under reducing atmosphere Rh⁰ nanoparticles formed and organic MOF components decomposed, which allowed growth of MnO or MnCO₃ and the formation of a mesh of catalytic Rh⁰ nanoparticles.

用Rh金属化的锰基金属有机骨架（MOF）用作CO ₂加氢的预催化剂。原位（80％H激活₂，20％CO ₂，350℃），将得到的模板化催化剂显示CO ₂转化率可达到20％，用CH ₄作为主要产物。使用粉末X射线衍射，电子显微镜，能量分散光谱和X射线光电子能谱，将用过的催化剂与在5％H ₂ / Ar下以350°C为模板的样品进行比较。发现在还原性气氛下，Rh ⁰纳米颗粒形成并且有机MOF组分分解，这允许MnO或MnCO _3的生长并形成催化性Rh ⁰纳米颗粒的网格。
