Co(III)/alkali-metal(I) heterodinuclear catalysts for the ring-opening copolymerization of CO2 and propylene oxide

The ring-opening copolymerization of carbon dioxide and propene oxide is a useful means to valorize waste into commercially attractive poly(propylene carbonate) (PPC) polyols. The reaction is limited by low catalytic activities, poor tolerance to a large excess of chain transfer agent, and tendency...
