AI Article Synopsis

  • Two new bifunctional covalent organic polymers (COP-Co and COP-Zn) are developed using chlorhexidine as a foundation to act as catalysts for converting carbon dioxide (CO).
  • These polymers utilize chlorhexidine's Cl nucleophile and cobalt/zinc Lewis acid sites to facilitate the conversion process.
  • The reaction can occur under mild conditions without needing an additional co-catalyst, successfully transforming CO and epoxides into cyclic carbonates.

Article Abstract

Two new cobalt/zinc-coordinated bifunctional covalent organic polymers (COP-Co and COP-Zn) based on chlorhexidine are prepared as heterogeneous catalysts for carbon dioxide (CO) conversion. Due to the Cl nucleophile and cobalt/zinc Lewis acid sites, COP-Co and COP-Zn can efficiently convert CO and epoxides into cyclic carbonates under mild conditions without a co-catalyst.
