“…In light of this, various metal-based ionic liquids (ILs) have been recently introduced in the literature, [ 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 ] showing good to excellent yields and selectivity, typically by the application of high CO 2 pressures (up to 50 bar). Additionally, ILs based on quaternary ammonium, imidazolium, and pyridinium salts, eventually immobilized on inorganic [ 54 ] and polymeric [ 55 ] solid supports, or prepared as hybrid materials, [ 56 ] have received considerable attention, showing advantageous features such as uninflammability, low volatility, thermal stability, and flexible structure-tailorability [ 57 , 58 , 59 , 60 , 61 , 62 , 63 , 64 ]. In particular, it has been demonstrated that the presence of hydroxyl groups on the IL moiety significantly increases the catalyst activity as a result of the synergistic effect of hydrogen bonding with the oxygen atom of epoxides, which effectively contributes to the ring-opening process promoted by the halide nucleophilic attack ( Figure 1 ) [ 65 , 66 , 67 , 68 , 69 , 70 , 71 ].…”
