Scorpionate Metal Complexes as Catalysts for the Synthesis of Bio-Derived Polymers and Cyclic Carbonat

This presentation focuses on the use of scorpionate metal complexes as efficient catalysts in the synthesis of bio-derived polymers and cyclic carbonates. These complexes offer unique coordination environments that enhance catalytic activity and selectivity, enabling the sustainable transformation of renewable feedstocks into valuable polymeric materials and cyclic carbonates. The talk will cover recent advances in catalyst design, reaction mechanisms, and potential applications in green chemistry and materials science.
