Surprisingly facile CO2 insertion into cobalt alkoxide bonds: A theoretical investigation

Exploiting carbon dioxide as co-monomer with epoxides in the production of polycarbonates is economically highly attractive. More effective catalysts for this reaction are intensively being sought. To promote better understanding of the catalytic pathways, this study uses density functional theory c...
