Integrated experimental and theoretical insights into CO<sub>2</sub> fixation: tetraazamacrocyclic catalysts in ionic liquids for cyclic carbonate formation
This study shows for the first time that tetraazamacrocyclic complexes for the conversion of CO 2 and epoxides cyclic carbonates in ionic liquids. Using Ni(cyclam)Cl 2 and BMimBr, 100% conversion is achieved in 24 hours at −1.8 V vs. Ag/AgCl.
