C60 fullerenol as an active and stable catalyst for the synthesis of cyclic carbonates from CO2 and epoxides

Abstract

C60 fullerenol was found to be a highly active, selective and stable catalyst for cycloaddition between CO2 and epoxides to produce various cyclic carbonates with excellent yields (89–99%). A solid/liquid interfacial hydrogen-bond assisted mechanism was proposed to account for its high efficiency.
