| Abstract | Direct synthesis of dimethyl carbonate (DMC) from CO2 and methanol with 100 mol% selectivity using a solid, reusable, hydrophobic, calcined zirconium phenylphosphonate phosphite catalyst is reported for the first time. DMC yield as high as 26 mmol g(-1) catalyst correlated with the concentration of acid and base sites is obtained. |
