Abstract

We studied the potential application of an efficient, reusable, and easily recoverable catalyst of dendritic fibrous nanosilica (DFNS)-supported platinum(ii) complexes (DFNS/Pt(ii) NPs) to form cyclic carbonates in the presence of epoxides by converting carbon dioxide. Cyclic carbonates from epoxides and carbon dioxide is proposed as the most appropriate way to synthesis this C1 building block. We performed FE-SEM, TEM, TGA, BET, VSM, and ICP-MS to thoroughly characterize DFNS/Pt(ii) NPs.
