ChemInform Abstract: A Heteropolyacid-Based Ionic Liquid Immobilized onto Fibrous Nano-Silica as an Efficient Catalyst for the Synthesis of Cyclic Carbonate from Carbon Dioxide and Epoxides.

The fibrous nano-silica supported heteropolyacid-based ionic liquid is simply and cost-effectively synthesized and exhibits high catalytic activity in the synthesis of cyclic carbonates (III) under mild and solvent-free conditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
