Abstract

Abstract An N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) polymer supported silver nanoparticle catalyst system was developed. The novel nano-composite catalyst demonstrated very high activity and excellent stability and reusability in the carboxylation of terminal alkynes with carbon dioxide at ambient conditions. The unique N-heterocyclic carbene polymer and silver nanoparticle composite structure provided a synergistic effect on activation of terminal ...
