Efficient synthesis of cyclic carbonates from CO2 under ambient conditions over Zn(betaine)2Br2: experimental and theoretical studies

Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 2022, Advance Article DOI: 10.1039/D1CP05553D, PaperJun Ma, Yahui Wu, Xupeng Yan, Chunjun Chen, Tianbin Wu, Honglei Fan, Zhimin Liu, Buxing Han A novel catalyst, Zn(betaine)2Br2, has been synthesized to efficiently promote the cycloaddition of CO2 and epoxides under ambient conditions (30 °C, 1 atm). The catalytic performance and mechanism of the catalyst were investigated by experimental and computational methods.
