Polymeric frustrated Lewis pairs in CO<sub>2</sub>/cyclic ether coupling catalysis
Thomas A. R. Horton, Meng Wang, Michael P. Shaver
Abstract
/cyclic ether coupling catalysis that can be tuned for the desired epoxide or oxetane substrate. Moreover, these macromolecular FLPs can be reused across multiple reaction cycles, further increasing their appeal over analogous small molecule systems.
