Abstract
The catalytic cycloaddition of CO2 to epoxides to afford cyclic carbonates as useful monomers, intermediates, solvents, and additives is a continuously growing field of investigation as a way to carry out the atom-economic conversion of CO2 to value-added products. Metal-free organocatalytic compounds are attractive systems among various catalysts for such transformations because they are inexpensive, nontoxic, and readily available. Herein, we highlight and discuss key advances in the development of polymer-based organocatalytic materials that match these requirements of affordability and availability by considering their synthetic routes, the monomers, and the supports employed. The discussion is organized according to the number (monofunctional versus bifunctional materials) and type of catalytically active moieties, including both halide-based and halide-free systems. Two general synthetic approaches are identified based on the postsynthetic functionalization of polymeric supports or the copolymerization of monomers bearing catalytically active moieties. After a review of the material syntheses and catalytic activities, the chemical and structural features affecting catalytic performance are discussed. Based on such analysis, some strategies for the future design of affordable and readily available polymer-based organocatalysts with enhanced catalytic activity under mild conditions are considered.

Abstract
Glycerol carbonate (GC) has emerged as an attractive synthetic target due to various promising technological applications. Among several viable strategies to produce GC from CO2 and glycerol and its derivatives, the cycloaddition of CO2 to glycidol represents an atom-economic an efficient strategy that can proceed via a halide-free manifold through a proton-shuttling mechanism. Here, it was shown that the synthesis of GC can be promoted by bio-based and readily available organic salts leading to quantitative GC formation under atmospheric CO2 pressure and moderate temperatures. Comparative and mechanistic experiments using sodium citrate as the most efficient catalyst highlighted the role of both hydrogen bond donor and weakly basic sites in the organic salt towards GC formation. The citrate salt was also used as a catalyst for the conversion of other epoxy alcohols. Importantly, the discovery that homogeneous organic salts catalyze the target reaction inspired us to use metal alginates as heterogeneous and recoverable bio-based catalysts for the same process.

Abstract
A new type of pyrene-based ammonium bromides (PABs) was synthesized via the reaction of bromomethyl pyrene and tertiary amines with different alkyl chains combined with graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) through π-π stacking interactions. The new pyrene-based ammonium bromides were investigated both in homogenous phase and heterogeneous phase combining with g-C3N4 for the CO2 fixation reaction of epoxides under mild conditions. Obviously, the combination was proved to be an efficient system for the conversion of epoxides. The interaction between g-C3N4 and PABs was confirmed by quantum chemical calculations. g-C3N4/Py-C12 exhibited an excellent yield of cyclic carbonates (above 93%) at 80 °C, atmospheric pressure and solvent-free conditions. A preliminary kinetic study was performed using g-C3N4/Py-C12 and the activation energy was calculated to be 61.5 kJ mol-1.
