Fixing CO2 into value-added cyclic carbonates is an effective way to reduce CO2 emissions. A metal-free and solvent-free catalytic system has been developed for the cycloaddition of CO2 with epoxides into corresponding cyclic carbonates. The catalytic system can in situ catalyze the conversion of CO...
