Unveiling the Dichotomy Between Cobalt(II)-Exchanged X and Y Faujasite Zeolites via Oxidative Carboxylation of Alkene to Cyclic Carbonate
Cobalt(II)-exchanged X and Y zeolites with varying metal loadings were employed to convert CO<sub>2</sub> to cyclic carbonates starting from alkenes. The transformation was carried out using O<sub>2</sub> as an oxidant in a mixture of O<sub>2</sub> and CO<sub>2</sub> under atmospheric pressure, and a maximum yield of 35.7% cyclic carbonate was achieved. Studies revealed a stark difference among both the zeolites, primarily arising from a difference in their ion exchange behaviors. Their catalytic and recyclability properties differed as a result of this variation.
