Iron(III) amino triphenolate complexes were studied as catalysts for the reaction of carbon dioxide (CO2) with cyclohexene oxide, which can lead to the formation of cyclic carbonate and/or polycarbonate products. Both types of compound are relevant, but for their practical application it is crucial...
