	abstract = {<p>The catalytic activities of several Cu and Mn aza complexes for cyclic carbonate synthesis from CO2 and epoxides are reported. The various factors affecting activation of CO2 by metal complexes and its utilization in cyclic carbonate synthesis have been investigated. Fr-IR, UV-vis and EPR spectroscopic investigations reveal that CO2 coordinates to Cu in eta(1)-C mode of coordination. Nature of the ligand and substitution influence the lability of metal-CO2 bonding. The differences in the catalytic activities are correlated with the mode and strength of CO2 binding.
