Copolymerization of aziridines and carbon monoxide catalyzed by a heterodinuclear organopalladinum-cobalt complex
Heterodinuclear organopalladium-cobalt complex having a 2,2'-bipyridine ligand (bpy)AcPd-Co(CO)(4) catalyzes copolymerization of unsubstituted and both C- and N-monosubstituted aziridines, such as aziridine, 2-methylaziridine, and N-ethylaziridiene, and CO (3-6 MPa) in THF at 100degreesC for 6 h.
