Controlling the enchainment of ether and carbonate segments during copolymerization of CO2 and epoxides is rarely possible. Now, precise control of enchainment is realized by tuning the structure of an organoboron catalyst and the reaction conditions. Mechanistic and computational studies probe the origin of the unique ABB microstructure of the polymer.
