文摘The atom-economical reaction of carbon dioxide(CO_(2))with epoxides possesses the potential to utilize captured CO_(2)for synthesizing useful chemicals.Among a wide range of metal complexes employed for this transformation,iron(Fe)stands out because of its low cost,ready availability,and stability.In this work,a pyridine-based pincer PN^(3)-Fe(II)complex was synthesized and used as an efficient catalyst for the CO_(2)epoxide cycloaddition.More importantly,this complex enabled the direct capture of CO_(2)in the atmosphere and conversion into cyclic carbonates in excellent yields.
