Ketone synthesized cobaloxime/organocobaloxime catalysts for cyclic carbonate synthesis from CO2 and epoxides: Characterization and electrochemistry

Design, synthesis and characterization of novel dioxime ligand-based cobaloxime compounds for application in the coupling of CO2 with epoxides

Novel dioxime-based cobaloxime complexes have been obtained by click chemistry and used as catalysts for the conversion of CO₂ to a cyclic carbonate without using any solvent.

Chemical fixation of CO2 into cyclic carbonates by azo-containing Schiff base metal complexes

Two new azo-containing Schiff bases and their transition metal complexes were synthesized. Single-crystal X-ray analyses were performed on the ligand (L¹H) and complex (Zn(L¹)₂). The synthesized metal complexes were used as catalysts for the chemical fixation of CO₂ into cyclic carbonates. The azo moiety increased the activity.
