Abstract
Taking the reaction between styrene oxide and CO2 to yield cyclocarbonate as the target, the activities of synergistic catalysts, which are composed of Br− and alcohol compounds serving as hydrogen bond donors (HBDs), were predicted by DFT calculations and confirmed by subsequent experiments.
