Journal ArticleDOI
Catalysts for CO2/epoxide copolymerisation
TL;DR: The article reviews recent developments (mostly since 2004 until June 2010) in catalysts for CO(2)/epoxide copolymerisation and in the properties of the polycarbonates.
Journal ArticleDOI
A bimetallic iron(III) catalyst for CO2/epoxide coupling
TL;DR: A novel di-iron(III) catalyst for the copolymerisation of cyclohexene oxide and CO(2) to yield poly(cyclohexenes carbonate), under mild conditions, is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Highly Active Dizinc Catalyst for the Copolymerization of Carbon Dioxide and Cyclohexene Oxide at One Atmosphere Pressure
TL;DR: The preparation of a dimetallic zinc complex having a macrocyclic ancillary ligand, which shows very high activity for the copolymerization of CO2 and cyclohexene oxide and carbon dioxide under mild pressures is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficient magnesium catalysts for the copolymerization of epoxides and CO2; using water to synthesize polycarbonate polyols.
TL;DR: The synthesis and characterization of three highly active dimagnesium catalysts for the copolymerization of cyclohexene oxide and carbon dioxide, active under just 1 atm of carbon dioxide pressure, are reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanistic investigation and reaction kinetics of the low-pressure copolymerization of cyclohexene oxide and carbon dioxide catalyzed by a dizinc complex.
TL;DR: Copolymer characterization data and additional experiments in which chain transfer agents are added to copolymerization experiments indicate that rapid chain transfer reactions occur and allow an explanation for the observed bimodal molecular weight distributions.
