Carbon dioxide at metal centres


27 June 2007

Welcome to the Dalton Transactions web theme issue, focussing on carbon dioxide at metal centres. 

Guest Editor: Professor Roger Guilard, Université de Bourgogne, Dijon, France. 

Carbon dioxide is one of the major greenhouse gases. Increases in the levels of CO2 in the atmosphere are widely recognised to be a significant factor in global warming. Removal of CO2 from the atmosphere, with the goal of mitigating global warming, is a dynamic, and growing, area of research.

This Dalton Transactions web theme issue will explore the chemistry of carbon dioxide at metal centres through the coordination of CO2

Among the topics that will be covered are:

  • CO2 sequestration by various materials
  • CO2 as building block for supramolecular assembly of amine receptors
  • Copolymerization of propylene oxide and CO2   

Just added: "Utilisation of CO2 as a chemical feedstock: opportunities and challenges" - A Perspective article by Michele Aresta and Angela Dibenedetto (University of Bari, Italy). 

Articles included in this web theme issue will be published in forthcoming regular issues of Dalton Transactions. The articles will be FREE to access for a limited period.
