Graphical Abstract

Isotaktisch: In der asymmetrischen Copolymerisation von CO2 mit meso-Epoxiden (darunter das wenig reaktive Cyclopentenoxid), die von dem zweikernigen CoIII-Komplex (S,S,S,S)-1 unter milden Bedingungen katalysiert wurde, wurde beispiellose Enantioselektivität und katalytische Aktivität beobachtet. Die Copolymere enthalten mehr als 99 % Carbonateinheiten und sind perfekt isotaktisch.
