These cages were demonstrated to be efficient heterogeneous catalysts for the cycloaddition of CO2 with styrene oxide, achieving full conversion at 25 °C and 1 atm CO2. Good to excellent yields of various cyclic carbonates were also achieved under mild conditions. Al(iii)@cage can be reused up to five times without any significant loss of its high catalytic activity. The capability to access a variety of heterogeneous organometallic catalysts with salen@cage offers new prospects for practical CO2 utilization and chemical manufacturing. © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2019. | Source Title: | Chemical Science | URI: | https://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/210050 | ISSN: | 2041-6520 | DOI: | 10.1039/c8sc05019h | Rights: | Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International |
