The invention discloses a double-ligand
zinc complex catalyst which is prepared from an active main body
zinc halide salt, an active functional ligand L1 and a
corrosion-inhibition functional ligand L2, wherein the active functional ligand L1 is tetramethyl
ammonium halide, tetraethyl
ammonium halide, tetrapropyl
ammonium halide, tetraethyl
phosphonium halide, tetraphenyl
phosphonium halide, methyl tri-tert-butyl
phosphonium halide or methyl
triphenyl phosphonium halide; and the
corrosion-inhibition functional ligand L2 is N-methylimidazole, iminazole,
isoquinoline,
quinoline, 2-toluquinoline, 4-toluquinoline, biquinoline,
pyridine, 3-methylpyridine or 1,10-o-
phenanthroline. The invention also discloses application of the catalyst in preparing corresponding cyclic
carbonate by CO2-
epoxy compound
cycloaddition. The catalyst has the advantages of low temperature, high catalytic activity, low corrosivity, easy separation, high stability, favorable
recovery performance and the like, can form a homogeneous catalytic
system, and has favorable industrial application prospects.
