The development of dinuclear zinc catalysts for the copolymerization reaction of CO₂ and epoxides to produce polycarbonates /

The synthesis of a class of dimeric zinc catalysts with a general formula [(O,6-2,X₂C₆H₃)₂Zn(THF)]₂ used for the copolymerization of CO2 and epoxides is described herein. Using phenoxide ligands with small halogenated groups render the catalyst dimeric in nature as opposed to previously designed mo...
