1. A method comprising, performing the following reaction: wherein X and X1 are each independently selected from: a linear or branched, substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group; a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group; a substituted or unsubstituted cyclic group; a substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl group; CxH2xR; OR; H; NR2; SR2; SiR2; Cl; F; Br; I; B; PR2; or SeR; wherein x is 1 to 10; wherein T, T1, and T2 are each independently selected from: F, Cl, Br, I, OR, SR2, NR2, PR2, or SeR; wherein each R is independently selected from hydrogen, a linear or branched, substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group; a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group; a substituted or unsubstituted cyclic group; or a substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl group; wherein Q is selected from scandium, yttrium, or lanthanum, and wherein CO2 represents CO2 or a mixture of gases containing CO2.
