AbstractSome eggs of Ephestia cautella (Wlk.) and E. kuehniella Zell. hatched after exposure to near 100% atmospheres of nitrogen (N2) or carbon dioxide (CO2) for up to 5 days at 15°C, 3 days at 20°C and 1 day at 25°C. The most tolerant age at the start of treatment at 25°C in E. cautella was 7–24 h after oviposition for CO2 and 7–30 h for N2. Generally, hatch was lower in CO2 than in N2 whatever the exposure, and lower for E. kuehniella than for E. cautella. Considerably more eggs of E. cautella aged 30 and 42 h hatched after exposure to N2 than to CO2, showing a toxic effect of CO2 in the absence of oxygen. Eggs of both species treated with either CO2 or N2 hatched 1–2 days later than controls, regardless of age or percentage survival.

Metal-free synthesis of fully alternating polycarbonates from carbon dioxide (CO2) and epoxides is highly desired but a huge challenge. Here, we disclose the combination of tertiary amines with trialkyl boranes for completely alternating copolymerization of CO2 with epoxides. Triethylamine (TEA) pairing with triethyl borane (TEB), the simplest catalyst for the copolymerization of CO2 and propylene oxide (PO), afforded fully alternating poly(propylene carbonate) (PPC) with a turnover frequency (TOF) of 54 h-1 at 60 oC. Remarkably, diamine such as, N,N,N',N'-tetraethylethylenediamine (TEED) and triamine such as N,N,N',N'',N''-pentamethyldiethylene triamine (PMDETA) pairing with TEB exhibited improved the copolymer selectivity of up to 99%. Supplementally, the effect of trialkylborane structure on the copolymerization were also investigated. Moreover, PPCs prepared from these tertiary amines/ trialkyl boranes Lewis pairs showed the head-to-tail diad content of around 80%. The number-average molecular weight of PPC was up to 56.0 kg/mol with narrow distribution (Đ =1.16) and could be easily adjusted by simply varying the feeding ratios. The 1H NMR spectra and MALDI-TOF-MS spectra suggest that both tertiary amine-activating CO2 and TEB-masked end anions cooperatively promote the fully alternating CO2/epoxide copolymerization. This work provides an organocatalytic platform for well-defined CO2/epoxide copolymers using simple small molecules with high atomic utilization.<br>
