Recent applications of selected zwitterionic catalysts in polymerization reactions, including the carbonylative polymerization of cyclic ethers, carbon-carbon coupling reactions, the asymmetric hydrogenation of unfunctionalized olefins, and the hydrofunctionalization of alkenes are reviewed. In addition, advances in the field of hydrogenation/dehydrogenation reactions related to energy applications, including the hydrogenation of CO2 and the dehydrogenation of formic acid and N-heterocycles, the functionalization of CO2 with amines and hydrosilanes, and the valorization of polyfunctional bio-based feedstocks, such as the dehygrogenation of glycerol to lactic acid or the reduction of levulinic acid into gamma-valerolactone, are also described.2022http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/12788510.1039/d1dt03746chttp://zaguan.unizar.es/record/127885oai:zaguan.unizar.es:127885info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA-FSE/E42-20Rinfo:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/PID2019-103965GB-I00/AEI/10.13039/501100011033Dalton Transactions 51, 3 (2022), 817-830All rights reservedhttp://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
