Kinetic Studies of the Alternating Copolymerization of Cyclic Acid Anhydrides and Epoxides, and the Terpolymerization of Cyclic Acid Anhydrides, Epoxides, and CO2 Catalyzed by (salen)CrIIICl
TL;DR: In this paper, a ring-opening copolymerization of a series of cyclic acid anhydrides with several epoxides using (salen)CrCl/onium salt catalysts has been shown to yield polyesters with high molecular weights and narrow molecular weight distributions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Highly Selective and Reactive (salan)CrCl Catalyst for the Copolymerization and Block Copolymerization of Epoxides with Carbon Dioxide
Donald J. Darensbourg,Mahmut Ulusoy,Mahmut Ulusoy,Osit Karroonnirum,Ross R. Poland,Joseph H. Reibenspies,Bekir Çetinkaya +6 more
TL;DR: Chromium(III) derivatives of the tetradentate phenoxyamine ligand H2salan have been shown to effectively catalyze the copolymerization of cyclohexene oxide and carbon dioxide.
Journal ArticleDOI
(Salan)CrCl, an effective catalyst for the copolymerization and terpolymerization of epoxides and carbon dioxide
TL;DR: In this article, the authors report on mechanistic aspects of the copolymerization of alicyclic and aliphatic epoxides with CO2 in toluene solution and in neat epoxide in the presence of a (salan)CrCl/onium salt catalyst system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ligand Displacement from TpMn(CO)2L Complexes: A Large Rate Enhancement in Comparison to the CpMn(CO)2L Analogues
Bert H. G. Swennenhuis,Ross R. Poland,Nathan J. DeYonker,Charles Edwin Webster,Donald J. Darensbourg,Ashfaq A. Bengali +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the mechanism and energy properties of ligand displacement from TpMn(CO)2L (L = cyclooctene, HSiEt3) complexes were studied using time-resolved infrared spectroscopy and DFT.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ligand Substitution from the (η5-DMP)Mn(CO)2(Solv) [DMP = 2,5-dimethylpyrrole, Solv = solvent] Complexes: To Ring Slip or Not to Ring Slip?
TL;DR: The results indicate that for both the Cp and the DMP based systems the displacement of weakly bound solvents proceeds by a dissociative or I(d) mechanism.
