Investigations on the use of main group metal complexes of salen ligands as catalysts for the copolymerization of CO2 and epoxides

Current industrial processes for the production of polycarbonates, a thermoplastic valued for commercial applications, leave much to be desired from an environmental viewpoint. Research into alternative methods for production of polycarbonates has focused on the copolymerization of carbon dioxide an...
