This review is focused on the rapidly developing area of organocatalysed cyclic carbonate
synthesis. It starts with an introduction to carbon capture and utilisation in general, which …

The reaction between carbon dioxide and epoxides is an attractive pathway for CO2-
utilisation as it can lead to the formation of two different, yet valuable, products: cyclic and …

A series of pincer-type compounds possessing an N-heterocyclic carbene precursor and a
carboxyl group as proton transfer agent were synthesized and used as organocatalysts for …

This review gives a comprehensive treatment to show and illustrate current efforts in the field
of recyclable catalysis. Results of recycling studies performed with a wide range of soluble …

A novel series of two zirconium-and one indium-based metal–organic frameworks (MOFs),
namely, MOF-892, MOF-893, and MOF-894, constructed from the hexatopic linker, 1′, 2 …

The cycloaddition reaction of CO2 with various epoxides to generate cyclic carbonates is
one of the most promising and efficient approaches for CO2 fixation. Typical imidazolium …

The rapid growth of CO2 emissions, especially from power plants, has led to the urgent need
to directly capture and fix CO2 in the flue gas after simple purification rather than energy …

A series of 1, 8-diazabicyclo-[5.4. 0] undec-7-ene (DBU) based bifunctional protic ionic
liquids (DBPILs) were easily prepared by acid–base reactions at room temperature. They …

It is believed that porous heterogeneous materials with excellent properties are promising
candidates for efficient fixation of diluted and waste CO 2. Herein, a family of mesoporous …

The conversion of carbon dioxide into valuable chemicals such as cyclic carbonates is an
appealing topic for the scientific community due to the possibility of valorizing waste into an …
