摘要
The direct synthesis of dimethyl carbonate (DMC) from CO2 and CH3OH was achieved at room temperature with 74% CH3OH conversion in the presence of an imidazolium hydrogen carbonate ionic liquid ([C(n)C(m)Im][HCO3]). Experimental and theoretical results reveal that [C(n)C(m)Im][HCO3] can transform quickly into a CO2 adduct, which serves as an effective catalyst and dehydrant. Its dehydration ability is reversible. The energy barrier of the rate-determining step for the DMC synthesis is only 21.7kcalmol(-1). The ionic liquid can be reused easily without a significant loss of its catalytic and dehydrating ability.
