These compounds were tested as catalysts for the fixation of carbon dioxide with epoxides to give cyclic carbonates, using tetrabutylammonium iodide (TBAI) as cocatalyst. The reactions were performed under solvent-free conditions at 70 degrees C and 1 bar CO2 pressure. Complexes 1-9 were more active than their respective free guanidines under the same experimental conditions for the synthesis of styrene carbonate (11a). The dinuclear complex 6 was the most efficient and active catalyst for the synthesis of several monosubstituted carbonates (11a-1) with excellent conversions and selectivities. Furthermore, the formation of some disubstituted cyclic carbonates (13a-c) using this dinuclear aluminum catalyst was also studied.}, organization = {Comision Nacional de Investigacion Cientifica y Tecnologica (CONICYT) CONICYT FONDECYT 1200748}, organization = {Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile}, organization = {Comision Nacional de Investigacion Cientifica y Tecnologica (CONICYT) 51150322 21182120}, organization = {Spanish Government CTQ2016-77614-P RED2018-102387-T}, organization = {"Plan Propio de I + D + i" of the Universidad Castilla-La Mancha 2020-GRIN29078}, publisher = {ACS}, title = {Mono-and Dinuclear Asymmetric Aluminum Guanidinates for the Catalytic CO2 Fixation into Cyclic Carbonates}, doi = {10.1021/acs.organomet.1c00319}, author = {Rios Perez, Yersica and Rodríguez Diéguez, Antonio}, }
