Plot of the combined data for all catalysts showing the carbon dioxide threshold pressure values, Pthreshold, and CO2 insertion equilibrium constants, Keq, determined in this investigation (with colours identifying different catalysts and square markers referring to PO–CO2 ROCOP, triangles to CHO–CO2 ROCOP). The plot shows that only catalyst 2 applied for CHO–CO2 ROCOP achieves the target low pressure (<10 bar) and high insertion equilibrium (>10 M−1) performance.
