A variety of catalysts including zinc, cobalt and chromium complexes were reviewed for the copolymerization of epoxides and CO2 with cyclic anhydrides and/or cyclic esters to synthesize CO2-based poly(ester-co-carbonate)s. The structure and structure-performance relationship of the as-prepared copolymers were discussed in detailed.
