	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.

	abstract = {<p>As-synthesized MCM-41 was used as a reusable, heterogeneous catalyst for the eco-friendly synthesis of cyclic carbonate precursors of polycarbonates via a cycloaddition reaction of CO2 with epoxides. This catalyst is also efficient for the synthesis of alkyl and aryl carbamate precursors of polyurethanes via the reaction of amines, CO2 and alkyl halides. Both these reactions were carried out under mild conditions and without using any solvent or co-catalyst. CO2 is utilized as a raw material replacement for toxic phosgene in the conventional synthesis of these chemicals. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.</p>},
