This article summarizes and reviews recent progress in the development of catalysts for the
ring-opening copolymerization of carbon dioxide and epoxides. The copolymerization is an …

Biomimetic aggregates have flourished in various fields, particularly in small-molecule
catalysis, but their application in polymer synthesis remains understudied. Herein, we …

Tetrabutylammonium carbonate (TBAC) which is obtained by treating CO2 with
tetrabutylammonium hydroxide is shown to perform as an ideal difunctional initiator for the …

In this investigation, a metal‐free process was developed that enables the synthesis of poly
(propylene carbonate)(PPC) diols/polyols by copolymerization of CO2 with propylene …

The alternating copolymerization of one-carbon (C1) building blocks including carbon
dioxide (CO 2) and its sulfur analogues of carbon disulfide (CS 2) and carbonyl sulfide …

Abstract The (salen) Co (III) complex 1 tethering four quaternary ammonium salts, which is a
highly active catalyst in CO 2/epoxide copolymerizations, shows high activity for propylene …

One pot, solvent free ring opening polymerization (ROP) of propylene oxide (PO) was
studied by using lab synthesized heterogeneous double metal cyanide (DMC) catalyst. A …

A preparative-scale (100 g scale) synthesis of H 3 Co (CN) 6 was achieved, the structure of
which was unambiguously determined using X-ray crystallography. Double-metal cyanide …

Zinc-glutarate (ZnGA) is a promising catalyst that can form polymers from CO2 and
epoxides, thereby contributing to the development of CO2 utilization technologies and future …
