Current interest in the area of carbon dioxide valorisation aims at new, emerging …

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 …

Cyclic organic carbonates represent a relevant class of chemicals that can be prepared from
CO2 by cycloaddition to epoxides. The application of efficient catalysts is crucial in allowing …

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 …

Vicinal dual hydroxyl functional mesoporous poly (ionic liquid) s with large surface area and
high ionic liquid (IL) content were synthesized through the copolymerization of epoxy …

A series of phosphorus ylide (P-ylide) CO2 adducts were synthesized and first used as
organocatalysts for CO2 transformation. Detailed studies on the cycloaddition reaction of …

The synthesis of conventional polyurethanes (PUs) relies on isocyanate reactants as crucial
starting materials. Toxicity, water-sensitivity and phosgene-based synthesis of isocyanates …

The use of CO 2 as a C1 building block will be of essential importance in the future. In this
