amino acid, L-glutamic acid at room temperature in aqueous medium. CO2 fixations were
promoted by the ZnGlu catalyst's inherently coordinated water and externally added water in
yielding cyclic carbonate and cyclic urethane at room temperature. This eliminates the need
for catalyst activation, making ZnGlu a ready-to-use catalyst. The enhanced CO2
cycloaddition with added water hints at the application of ZnGlu in wet flue gas conversions …
