Abstract

<p> The catalytic formation of cyclic organic carbonates<br /> (COCs) using carbon dioxide (CO2) as a renewable carbon feed<br /> stock is a highly vibrant area of research with an increasing amount of<br /> researchers focusing on this thematic investigation. These organic<br /> carbonates are highly useful building blocks and nontoxic reagents<br /> and are most commonly derived from CO2 coupling reactions with<br /> oxirane and dialcohol precursors using homogeneous catalysis methodologies. The activation of suitable reaction partners using<br /> catalysis as a key technology is a requisite for efficient CO2 conversion as its high kinetic stability poses a…
