Facile Estimation of Catalytic Activity and Selectivities in Copolymerization of Propylene Oxide with Carbon Dioxide Mediated by Metal Complexes with Planar Tetradentate Ligand.

Mechanistic studies were conducted to estimate (1) catalytic activity for PPC, (2) PPC/CPC selectivity, and (3) PPC/PPO selectivity for the metal-catalyzed copolymerization of propylene oxide with carbon dioxide [PPC: poly(propylene carbonate); CPC = cyclic propylene carbonate; PPO: poly(propylene o...
