Organoantimony and organobismuth complexes for CO₂fixation

Abstract

The utilization of organoantimony and organobismuth complexes in CO2fixation is reviewed in this article.

Metal Complexes Bearing Sulfur-Containing Ligands as Catalysts in the Reaction of CO2 with Epoxides

“…Actually, the use in CO 2 /epoxide reactions was barely explored and only recently received more attention [77,78]. In this field, one of the most efficient catalytic systems was developed by Shimada e Yin in 2009 [79].…”

Carbonato-bridged heteronuclear NiII2LnIII2 (Ln=Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu) complexes synthesized by fixation of atmospheric CO2 – Structural and magnetic studies

“…0.03%). The phenomenon of spontaneous uptake of carbon dioxide from the air has been reported for some transition metal complexes [32][33][34][35][36] as well as for lanthanide clusters [37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44]. Some organoantimony and organobismuth complexes have been reported as adsorbents and catalysts for fixation of CO 2 to yield carbonates [32].…”

Some organoantimony and organobismuth complexes have been reported as adsorbents and catalysts for fixation of CO 2 to yield carbonates [32]. The first examples of carbonato-bridged transition metal-lanthanide complexes (3d-4f) generated by atmospheric CO 2 fixation in an alkaline medium, were reported by Sakamoto ] (where L n = N,N 0 -bis(3-methoxy-2-oxybenzylidene)-1,3-propanediaminato or L n = N,N 0 -bis(3-ethoxy-2-oxybenzylidene)-1,3-propanediaminato, respectively and Ln = Gd, Tb, Dy)) [45][46][47].…”

Countercation Effect on CO2 Binding to Oxo Titanate with Bulky Anilide Ligands

“…Organoantimony and organobismuth complexes are catalysts for the chemical fixation of CO 2 to cyclic carbonates . Species with bridging oxo or terminal hydroxo ligands in particular were shown to reversibly bind CO 2 as carbonate or bicarbonate . Alkoxide derivatives of these complexes insert CO 2 and form alkyl carbonate species .…”
