A simple cobalt-based catalyst system for the controlled dehydropolymerisation of H3B·NMeH2 on the gram-scale†
Abstract
A simple Co(II)-based amine–borane dehydropolymerisation catalyst system is reported that operates at low loadings, to selectively give (H2BNMeH)n polymer on scale, with catalyst control over Mn, narrow dispersities and low residual metal content.
