Challenges in the catalytic synthesis of cyclic and polymeric carbonates from epoxides and CO2

Pescarmona, Paolo P., Taherimehr, Masoumeh·2012·Catalysis Science & Technology

Abstract

The addition of carbon dioxide to epoxides to produce either cyclic carbonates or polycarbonates is an important reaction allowing the conversion of a renewable, inexpensive and non-toxic feedstock such as CO2 into useful products with many potential applications. In this perspective article, an overview of the type of catalysts used for this reaction, the mechanisms with which they operate and the parameters influencing their activity and selectivity are presented and discussed critically. In this context, the main challenges to be tackled in this vibrant area of research are highlighted.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
