The copolymerization of CO2 and epoxides presents a transformative approach to
converting greenhouse gases into aliphatic polycarbonates (CO2-PCs), thereby reducing …

Proof of principles studies by Inoue and coworkers in the late 1960s clearly illustrated the
poorly controlled coupling of CO 2 and epoxides to provide polycarbonates. These early …

Polycarbonates were successfully synthesized for the first time through the anionic
copolymerization of epoxides with CO2, under metal-free conditions. Using an approach …

The present review highlights advances in the copolymerization of carbon dioxide (CO2)
and epoxides (oxiranes) to produce polycarbonates. Specifically, focus has been given to …

While experts in various fields discuss the potential of carbon capture and storage (CCS)
technologies, the utilization of carbon dioxide as chemical feedstock is also attracting …

Highly thermodynamically stable carbon dioxide is now used industrially as a feedstock for
the carboxylation of four types of reactive substrates. The first category comprises oxygen …

The catalytic copolymerization of CO 2 with epoxides to give polycarbonates was discovered
nearly 50 years ago. The last 10 years have been particularly exciting for the development …

Homodinuclear catalysts have good precedent for epoxide and carbon dioxide/anhydride
copolymerizations; in contrast, so far pure heterodinuclear catalysts are unknown. The …

This presentation provides a review of the author's research group's contributions to the
organometallic chemistry of carbon dioxide with a focus on incorporating this information …
