Create a topicCO2 is the most abundant waste produced by human activities and a greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. On the other hand, CO2 is also non-toxic, renewable and cheap carbon source. Among innumerous CO2 valorization reactions, its insertion in epoxides is an attractive way due the formation of two different, yet valuable, products: cyclic (CC) and polymeric carbonates (PC). Many catalysts for the cycloaddition of CO2 to epoxides are represented by binary systems with the Lewis acidic component being denoted as the “catalyst” and the nucleophilic component as the “co-catalyst”. The Lewis acidic catalysts are not active in the absence of a nucleophilic co-catalyst. Herein, we prepared a single-component catalyst displaying both components in a multifunctional carbon-based material. Firstly, we synthesize zinc tetraphenylporphyrin and phthalocyanine (ZnTPP and ZnPc, respectively) and then they were pyrolysed at 800 ºC for 2 hours under N2 atmosphere, trying to obtain N and Zn atoms doped carbon materials. These samples were called ZnTPP_800C and ZnPc_800C. These materials are being characterized by UV-Vis, XPS, XRD, elemental analysis (CHN), ICP OES, TEM, TGA and BET. The reactions were performed in a batch reactor under CO2 supercritical (scCO2) conditions. The results are revealed in Table 1. So far, no co-catalyst has been applied yet showing that the ZnTPP_800C probably has nucleophilic and Lewis acid sites. This reaction had been hardly ever studied in scCO2. In this work, this condition was fundamental in selectivity to organic CC, suppressing all the possible polymerization reactions.
