Polymer supported chromium porphyrin as catalyst for polycarbonate formation in supercritical carbon dioxide

Chem Commun (Camb). 2001 Dec 7:(23):2502-3. doi: 10.1039/b107400h.

Abstract

A new polymer-supported chromium porphyrin has been prepared and fully characterised; its catalytic activity and recyclability were investigated for the ring-opening copolymerisation of 1,2-cyclohexene oxide (CHO) and carbon dioxide (CO2).
