Key Points

The aim is to investigate the copolymerization of epoxides with CO2 using iron-corrole complexes.
Utilized iron-corrole complexes as catalysts for the copolymerization process.
Explored the copolymerization of propylene oxide and carbon dioxide, and glycidyl phenyl ether with CO2.
Synthesis of a crystalline material from isotactic poly(GPE) moieties.
Successfully accomplished the first iron-catalyzed propylene oxide/CO2 copolymerization.
The copolymerization of glycidyl phenyl ether with CO2 produced a crystalline material.
The resulting material demonstrates isotactic characteristics.

Implication

Reveals successful copolymerization of epoxides with CO2, indicating a new material formation.

Abstract

Iron-corrole complexes were found to copolymerize epoxides with CO2. The first iron-catalyzed propylene oxide/CO2 copolymerization has been accomplished. Moreover, the glycidyl phenyl ether (GPE)/CO2 copolymerization with this catalyst provided a crystalline material as a result of the isotactic poly(GPE) moiety.
