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 …

The utilization of carbon dioxide as a comonomer to produce polycarbonates has attracted a
great deal of attention from both industrial and academic communities because it promises …

The cycloaddition of CO2 into epoxides catalyzed by imidazolium and related salts
continues to attract attention due to the industrial importance of the cyclic carbonate …

Polycarbonates can be prepared by the copolymerization of epoxides with carbon dioxide
as an inexpensive, abundant, nontoxic, and renewable feedstock. This review covers the …

An environmentally benign catalytic system consisting of 1, 8-diazabicyclo [5.4. 0]-undec-7-
ene (DBU) and cellulose was developed for CO2 chemical fixation with epoxides under …

Combining CO2-chemistry with biomass conversion allows renewable polymeric materials
including polycarbonates and polyhydroxyurethanes (PHUs) to be generated. The demand …

The catalysed ring opening copolymerizations (ROCOP) of carbon dioxide/epoxide or
anhydride/epoxide are controlled polymerizations that access useful polycarbonates and …

Carbon dioxide copolymerization is a front‐runner CO2 utilization strategy but its viability
depends on improving the catalysis. So far, catalyst structure‐performance correlations have …

The role of water as highly effective hydrogen‐bond donor (HBD) for promoting the coupling
reaction of CO2 with a variety of epoxides was demonstrated under very mild conditions (25 …

Novel constrained Schiff-base ligands (inden) were developed based on the well-known
salen ligands. Chromium complexes supported by the constrained inden ligands were …
