It was found that both cations and anions of the room temperature ionic liquids have strong influence on the catalytic activity. The better catalytic performance was achieved with 1 butyl 3 methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate as a catalyst. A suitable CO 2/propylene oxide molar ratio is needed for the reaction, and the conversion of propylene oxide increases with the increase of reaction temperature. The ionic liquid as a catalyst for such reaction can be recycled.展开更多
