A set of tetranuclear alkyl aluminum adducts 1 and 2 supported by benzodiimidazole-diylidene ligands L1, N,N’-(1,5-diisopropylbenzodiimidazole-2,6-diylidene)bis(propan-2-amine), and L2, N,N’-(1,5-dicyclohexyl-benzodiimidazole-2,6-diylidene)dicyclohexanamine were synthetized in exceptional yields and characterized by spectroscopic methods. These compounds were studied as catalysts for cyclic carbonate formation (3a–o) from their corresponding terminal epoxides (2a–o) and carbon dioxide utilizing tetrabutylammonium iodide as a nucleophile in the absence of a solvent. The experiments were carried out at 70 °C and 1 bar CO2 pressure for 24 h and adduct 1 was the most efficient catalyst for the synthesis of a large variety of monosubstituted cyclic carbonates with excellent conversions and yields.

Two manganese(III) compounds were studied as catalysts for the reaction of carbon dioxide with propylene oxide, styrene oxide, and cyclohexene oxide, and formed cyclic carbonate products selectively under solvent free conditions in the presence of an ionic co-catalyst such as TBAB or PPNCl. Variable temperature kinetic studies allowed the activation energy for propylene carbonate formation to be determined (64 kJ mol−1). The catalysts showed good stability in these reactions and overall turnover numbers (TON) of up to 6000 were observed. The complexes showed low activity for the aerobic oxidation of 4-methyoxybenzylalcohol to the corresponding aldehyde, achieving up to 40% conversion in 72 h. However, near quantitative conversion of 1,2-diphenyl-2-methoxyethanol to provide up to 90% yield of benzaldehyde could be achieved over the course of 5 days. Both complexes showed similar reactivity in the two catalytic processes, and this is likely due to the weakly coordinating nature of the pendant donor within the tetradentate ligand.
