Mn(<scp>iii</scp>)–porphyrin catalysts for the cycloaddition of CO₂ with epoxides at atmospheric pressure: effects of Lewis acidity and ligand structure

Abstract

Mn(<sc>iii</sc>)–porphyrin catalysts with electron-withdrawing substituents were designed to uncover electronic and structural aspects in the cycloaddition of CO₂ with epoxides.
