Description

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>A simple admixture of Co<jats:sup>II</jats:sup>–salcy complexes with [Cp<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>Fe<jats:sup>III</jats:sup>]PF<jats:sub>6</jats:sub> resulted in reproduction of the results with isolated Co<jats:sup>III</jats:sup>–salcy complexes in the copolymerization of epoxide and carbon dioxide. By using this in situ‐generated active species with bis(triphenylphosphoranilydene)ammonium 2,4‐dinitrophenolate, a <jats:italic>para</jats:italic>‐methoxy‐substituted Co–salcy complex was proven to be more active than the parent <jats:italic>tert</jats:italic>‐butyl‐substituted system. In contrast, the Co<jats:sup>II</jats:sup>–salcy complex substituted with the more strongly electron‐donating NMe<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> group did not show any activity for this copolymerization.</jats:p>
