摘要:
A novel air-stable, Cu-tethered macrocycle catalyst possessing a large inner cavity was successfully synthesized, creating a unique supramolecular catalytic system. The catalyst was utilized in the CO2-fixation reaction to propargylamines. The reaction proceeded more efficiently compared to the conventional CuI catalyst under atmospheric CO2 condition. Notably, owing to its topological effect, the Cu-tethered macrocycle catalyst exhibited unique substrate size selectivity. (C) 2020 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
