TL;DR: In this paper, an integrated ionic liquid-superbase system was proposed for the capture of CO2 under atmospheric pressure, where the captured CO2 can be readily released by either heating or bubbling N2, and recycled with little loss of its capture capability.

TL;DR: The first effective organopolymerization of the biorenewable "non-polymerizable" γ-butyrolactone (γ-BL) to a high-molecular-weight metal-free recyclable polyester is reported.
Abstract: The first effective organopolymerization of the biorenewable “non-polymerizable” γ-butyrolactone (γ-BL) to a high-molecular-weight metal-free recyclable polyester is reported. The superbase tert-Bu-P4 is found to directly initiate this polymerization through deprotonation of γ-BL to generate reactive enolate species. When combined with a suitable alcohol, the tert-Bu-P4-based system rapidly converts γ-BL into polyesters with high monomer conversions (up to 90 %), high molecular weights (Mn up to 26.7 kg mol−1), and complete recyclability (quantitative γ-BL recovery).

TL;DR: In this paper, a highly efficient binary system consisting of polyethylene glycol and an amidine or guanidine superbase was developed for CO2 absorption, leading to the activation of CO2 molecules, and thus direct conversion of the captured CO2 to value-added chemicals or fuels was successfully performed to avoid desorption.

TL;DR: The role of guanidine in organic synthesis, including asymmetric reactions, is discussed in this paper, where the role of asymmetric reaction is discussed. But its synthetic application is immature despite its wide potential utility.
Abstract: Guanidine is categorized as an organic superbase, yet its synthetic application is immature despite its wide potential utility. The role of guanidine in organic synthesis, including asymmetric reactions, is discussed herein.
