Preparation of ethene/carbon monoxide copolymers using copper-based catalysts and their characterization by pyrolysis-gas chromatography
Ethene/carbon monoxide copolymers were prepared using the catalyst system Cu(OAc)(2)/dppp 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane)/p-toluenesulfonic acid (p-TsOH) or BF3 . OEt2/p-benzoquinone. Pyrolysis-gas chromatography proves the alternating structure of the copolymers.
