    Abstract

    Iminopyrrole, aminopyrrole, and aminophosphine ligands were complexed with various chromium sources, producing eight complexes that were tested for their catalytic behavior toward epoxide-CO2 copolymerization. As elucidated by MALDI-TOF-MS, copolymerizations afforded polycarbonates and poly(ether-carbonates) exhibiting linear or cyclic topologies.
