Abstract

In the present study, the cobalt (II) complex [Co-HMBED] has been prepared and characterized by spectrochemical techniques, which confirmed its square planar structure. The catalytic activity of the cobalt complex was evaluated towards solvent-free conversion of CO2 and styrene oxide into cyclic styrene carbonate and polymerization of lactide. This perspective describes the synthesis, characterization and catalytic studies of Co-HMBED complex; towards coupling of styrene oxide and CO2 to produce cyclic styrene carbonates and polymerization of lactide.
