There is a need for the development of industrial processes
that use chemical feedstocks that do not rely upon oil. This research shows
that carbon dioxide, at atmospheric pressure and ambient temperature, reacts
with titanium imido complexes through heterocumulene metathesis reactions to
form symmetrical ureas.
