Kinetic and mechanistic investigations of the copolymerization reaction of carbon dioxide and epoxides, using chromium chloride salen catalysts /

A series of air-stable (salen)Cr¹¹¹Cl complexes, where H₂salen = N,N'-bis(3,5-di-t-butylsalicylidene)-1,2-di-(R)-1,2-ethylenediimine, have been shown to be effective catalysts for the coupling of cyclohexene oxide and propylene oxide with CO₂, to afford co-poly(cyclohexene carbonate) and co-pol...
