“…To facilitate the process, a number of catalysts have been developed. So far, both homogenous catalysts (such as halogen bond donor catalysts, [9] phosphonium salts, [10,11] ionic liquids, [12][13][14] alkali metal halides [15,16] and metal-salen complexes [17][18][19][20][21][22] ), and heterogeneous catalysts (such as functional zeolite, [23] organosilica, [24] porous ionic polymers, [25] ionic liquid-supported solids, [26,27] metal oxides, [28][29][30] polymers, [31] organic network, [32,33] porous carbons, [34][35][36] bifunctional catalysts [37,38] and metalÀ organic frameworks (MOFs)) have been available for the CO 2 fixation into cyclic carbonates. [39,40] Among these, technically recoverable heterogeneous catalysts such as MOFs have attracted much attention due to their characteristics of high surface area, uniform pore structure and tunable functionalities.…”
