Cationic tetranuclear macrocyclic CaCo 3 complexes as highly active catalysts for alternating copolymerization of propylene oxide and carbon dioxide

Chemical Science, vol. 14, pp. 8262–8268

Abstract

We found that a cationic hetero tetranuclear complex including a calcium and three cobalts exhibited high catalytic activity toward alternating copolymerization of propylene oxide (PO) and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ).
