Functionalized polycarbonates via triphenylborane catalyzed polymerization-hydrosilylation

Abstract

Triphenylborane catalyzes the copolymerization and terpolymerization of epoxides and CO2 to yield polycarbonates with excellent dispersity. Via assisted tandem catalysis, these materials could be hydrosilylated in a one-pot fashion yielding modified polymeric materials. Using only a few reagents, materials with glass transition temperatures ranging from 37–110 °C were obtained.
