With the continuous emission of greenhouse gases, the rational transformation and
utilization of CO 2 is particularly important. Cyclic carbonates are a kind of versatile …

The coupling of carbon dioxide (CO2) with epoxides with the formation of cyclic carbonates
is a highly attractive 100% atom economic reaction. It represents a greener and safer …

Imidazolium ionic liquids (ILs), imidazolylidene N‐heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs), and
zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) are imidazolate motifs which have been extensively …

The reaction mechanism for the Zn (salphen)/NBu4X (X= Br, I) mediated cycloaddition of
CO2 to a series of epoxides, affording five‐membered cyclic carbonate products has been …

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 …

The energetic span model is a bridge connecting the kinetic outcome of experimental and
theoretical catalysis. It proves the utility of working with Gibbs energies (E‐representation) …

Global warming and climate change are two severe environmental dangers brought on by
the steady rise in the carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration in the atmosphere. Thus, in order …

In the last two decades, CO2 emission has caused a lot of environmental problems. To
mitigate the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere, various strategies have been …

The chemical transformation of CO 2 and epoxides into cyclic carbonates has been
receiving much attention and is one of the successful examples for CO 2 utilization as …

The aim of “green chemistry” and “atom economy” is to utilize carbon dioxide and replace
harmful reactants such as CO and phosgene for the production of cyclic carbonates. In this …
