The use of CO 2 as a C1 building block will be of essential importance in the future. In this
context the synthesis of cyclic carbonates from epoxides and CO 2 gained great attention …

Asymmetric catalysis holds a prominent position among the important developments in
chemistry during the 20th century. This was acknowledged by the 2001 Nobel Prize in …

The combination of a chromium (III) salophen bromide complex and tetrabutylammonium
bromide is shown to catalyze the reaction between terminal epoxides and carbon dioxide at …

N, N′-Phenylenebis (5-tert-butylsalicylideneimine) is shown to be an effective single-
component catalyst for the metal-and halide-free synthesis of cyclic carbonates from …

The involvement of CO2 as a renewable and abundant feedstock toward a carbon balanced
future has led to production of several value-added products. The primary focus in the …

Chirality is an essential feature of asymmetric catalysts. This review summarizes asymmetric
catalysts that derive their chirality exclusively from stereogenic metal centers. Reported …

In this study, we report a single-step preparation method for the synthesis of a series of C 3-
symmetric zinc complexes containing both a Lewis acidic zinc center and a nucleophilic …

A series of unsymmetrical pyridine-bridged bis-pincer-type iron (II) complexes were
synthesized, and the complexes were used as catalysts for the cycloaddition of CO2 and …

Nonreductive conversion of carbon dioxide has received wide attention in the area of
homogeneous catalysis, especially in the context of cyclic organic carbonate formation …

Conspectus Reactions catalyzed by transition metal complexes almost always entail binding
of one or more reactants to the metal center, and nearly every corner of the “chiral pool” has …
