Abstract: Scientific frontier achievements should be integrated into classroom teaching, aligning with the urgent needs of national science and technology development and environmental protection. A strong sense of social responsibility should permeate the entire curriculum. This teaching approach not only enriches students' professional knowledge and broadens their academic horizons but also fosters scientific thinking, innovation skills, and the ability to apply knowledge. It has significantly stimulated students’ curiosity and enthusiasm for scientific research. As a key component of inorganic chemistry in undergraduate education, coordination compounds have long been considered both a focal point and a challenge in inorganic chemistry due to their diverse types and wide-ranging properties. Recently, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have garnered attention for their unique structural characteristics, demonstrating significant potential for CO₂ capture and green catalytic conversion. This has made MOFs a research hotspot both domestically and internationally. By combining the latest scientific research with accessible reaction examples, this teaching material introduces undergraduate students to recent advancements in the efficient catalytic conversion of CO₂ into high-value fine chemicals using classical porous MOFs.

Key words: Metal-organic frameworks, Carbon dioxide, Catalytic conversion, Double carbon, Green chemistry
