This review is focused on the rapidly develo** area of organocatalysed cyclic carbonate
synthesis. It starts with an introduction to carbon capture and utilisation in general, which …

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 …

Ionic liquids (ILs) and deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have tremendous potential for reactive
capture and conversion (RCC) of CO2 due to their wide electrochemical stability window …

Presently, we find a rapid pace of CO 2 emission into the atmosphere causing major
problems facing our planet. If no action is taken, it would have harmful consequences to …

Conversion of CO2 to value-added products is favorable for both greenhouse gas mitigation
and carbon-resource utilization. It is still a huge challenge to efficiently, selectively, and …

Ionic liquids (ILs) are considered to be potential material devices for CO2 capturing and
conversion to energy‐adducts. They form a cage (confined‐space) around the catalyst …

A series of pincer-type compounds possessing an N-heterocyclic carbene precursor and a
carboxyl group as proton transfer agent were synthesized and used as organocatalysts for …

N, N′-Phenylenebis (5-tert-butylsalicylideneimine) is shown to be an effective single-
component catalyst for the metal-and halide-free synthesis of cyclic carbonates from …

The capture and conversion of CO2 from direct air into value-added products under mild
conditions represents a promising step towards environmental remediation and energy …

The first example of a homogeneous catalyst based on an earth‐abundant metal for the
hydrogenation of organic carbonates to methanol and alcohols is reported. Based on the …
