Comparing conventional and microwave-assisted heating in PET degradation mediated by imidazolium-based halometallate complexes

The catalytic activity of two halometallate complexes based on imidazolium cations, (dimim)[FeCl4] (1) and (dimim)2[Fe2Cl6(μ-O)] (2), was evaluated in the glycolysis of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), either under conventional heating or microwave-assisted conditions. The two procedures led to the...
