Abstract:Chemical recycling of polymers to the corresponding monomers offers a valuable solution to address the current plastics crisis for creating an ideal and circular polymer economy. Here, we present a bimetallic synergistic depolymerization of the widely studied CO 2 -based polycarbonates, poly(cyclohexene carbonate)s, to epoxide monomers efficiently. The bimetallic Cr III -complex-mediated highly selective depolymerization and repolymerization was achieved via the regulation of reaction temperature, thus closing… Show more
