The rational design and synthesis of efficient catalyst systems, which mediate the copolymerization of epoxides and carbon dioxide to form polycarbonates /

The formation of cyclic propylene carbonate formed from the backbiting reaction of poly(propylene carbonate) onto zinc phenoxide catalysts has been monitored by infra-red spectroscopy. A zinc phenoxide complex with two cyclic propylene carbonate ligands occupying the open sites of the zinc catalyst...
