Metal Oxide Supported Double Metal Cyanide Catalysts Modified by Group 13 Oxides for the Ring‐Opening Polymerization of Epoxides: Mechanistic Insights

The ring‐opening polymerization (ROP) of epoxides is an important industrial route to polyether polyols used in polyurethane and surfactant value chains. Double metal cyanide (DMC) catalysts provide high activity but often show an induction period and may require promoter additiv...
