Zwitterionic structure is necessary for Ni-II complexes to catalyze carbonylative polymerization (COP) of cyclic ethers. The cationic charge at the Ni-II center imparts sufficient electrophilicity to the Ni-acyl bond for it to react with cyclic ethers to give an acyl-cyclic ether oxonium intermediate, while the ligand-centered anionic charge ensures that the resultant oxonium cation is ion-paired with the Ni-0 nucleophile. The current catalysts give non-alternating copolymers of carbon monoxide and cyclic ethers and are the most effective when both ethylene oxide and tetrahydrofuran are present as the cyclic ether monomers.
