Experimental and theoretical investigation for the cycloaddition of carbon dioxide to epoxides catalyzed by potassium and boron co-doped carbon nitride

Unraveling the role of internal–external metal substitution in Zn3[Co(CN6)]2 for the styrene oxide–CO2 cycloaddition reaction

“…[11][12][13][14] Cyclic carbonates have properties such as a low melting point, low vapor pressure, high flash point, high dielectric constant, and low toxicity. 15,16 They also have applications as polar aprotic solvents, 14,17,18 electrolytes for the manufacture of secondary lithium-ion batteries 16,19,20 and can be used as intermediates for the manufacture of other chemical compounds such as drugs and polymers. [21][22][23] Their production is carried out by cycloaddition reactions with molecules with epoxide rings; 14 some catalysts commonly used include ammonium salts, ionic liquids, onium salts, organocatalysts, metal halides, metal oxides, and cyanometalates.…”

Aniline-Based Hyper-Cross-Linked Polymer–In2O3 Composite Boosting CO2 Epoxide Ring-Opening Reaction Activity without Cocatalysts

“…Of particular note is the growing attention on the utilization of CO 2 in the synthesis of organic compounds and polymer materials. For instance, the reaction of CO 2 with epoxides to produce cyclic propylene carbonate has gained increasing interest. − This strategy not only enables the permanent removal of CO 2 but also involves a straightforward reaction operation. − …”

Enhancing multifunctional photocatalysis with acetate‐assisted cesium doping and unlocking the potential of Z‐scheme solar water splitting

“…Doping alkali metals into g‐C 3 N 4 has been widely investigated for its potential to modulate photocatalytic capability and electrical properties with the advantages of ease of handling and operational stability 25 . Substantial focus is concentrated on Na + or K + doping, yet multifunctional photocatalysis has not been seen, and the exhibited photocatalysis outcome is still limited 26–32 . It is predicted that the photocatalytic activity of the alkaline metal‐doped g‐C 3 N 4 increases with increasing atomic weight, 26,33 making cesium (Cs) a promising candidate for further development.…”

“…25 Substantial focus is concentrated on Na + or K + doping, yet multifunctional photocatalysis has not been seen, and the exhibited photocatalysis outcome is still limited. [26][27][28][29][30][31][32] It is predicted that the photocatalytic activity of the alkaline metal-doped g-C 3 N 4 increases with increasing atomic weight, 26,33 making cesium (Cs) a promising candidate for further development. Notably, the impact of Cs doping into g-C 3 N 4 for photocatalysis has been a subject of debate, with conflicting evidence reported thus far.…”
