Structure-activity relationships in olefin polymerization catalysts

The thermodynamic parameters associated with the copolymerization of ethylene and carbon dioxide were calculated using bond dissociation energies, the Benson additivity method and density functional theory calculations (DFT). In all cases, the formation of an alternation copolymer was found to be en...
