The non-redox fixation of CO₂ in cyclic and polymeric carbonates is regarded as one of the most promising technologies for small-scale CO₂ utilization. Yet, most heterogeneous catalysts reported to date require the use of co-catalysts, harsh reaction conditions, and non-base metals. In this issue of Chem, Yavuz and coworkers report the one-step synthesis of a new covalent organic polymer that circumvents these issues.

助催化剂和无金属的CO ₂固定到环状碳酸酯中：救援的COP

环状和聚合碳酸盐中CO ₂的非氧化还原固定被认为是小规模利用CO ₂的最有希望的技术之一。然而，迄今为止报道的大多数非均相催化剂需要使用助催化剂，苛刻的反应条件和非碱金属。在本期《化学》杂志上，Yavuz及其同事报告了一种新的共价有机聚合物的一步合成方法，该聚合物可绕过这些问题。
