a

Reaction conditions: 1 (3 mM), PO (6 mL), 1,2-cyclohexane diol (60 mM), 70 °C, 1.4 h.

b

Data supplied by ref (32).

c

PO conversion determined from the relative integrals in the 1H NMR spectrum of the resonances assigned to PPC (4.92 ppm, 1H), PC (4.77 ppm, 1H), and PPO (3.46–3.64 ppm, 3H) against mesitylene (6.70 ppm).

d

CO2 uptake (%) determined by the relative integrals in the 1H NMR spectrum of the resonances assigned to (PPC + PC)/PPO.

e

Polym selectivity (%) determined by the relative integrals in the 1H NMR spectrum of the resonances assigned to PPC/(PC + PPC).

f

Turn-over frequency (TOF) = TON/time (h).
