Description
Department of Chemistry, University of Arkansas at Little Rock, Little Rock, AR, United States.
Catalysis in supercritical carbon dioxide is severely restricted due to inadequate dissolution of metal based catalysts. CO2-philes such as introduction of fluorinated groups or modification of catalysts with fluorine are generally used to enhance solubility of catalysts in CO2 and to obtain sufficient activity. However such modifications with fluorine can be an expensive process. In this talk we would like describe that certain metal complexes possesses sufficient solubility in supercritical or compressed carbon dioxide without any modifications and taking the enhanced solubility of the metal complexes it is possible to perform catalysis efficiently.
