Abstract
Catalyst complexes include a zinc hexacyanocobaltate with M5 metal and M6 metal or semi-metal phases, wherein M5 metal is gallium, hafnium, manganese, titanium and/or indium and the M6 metal or semi-metal is one or more of aluminum, magnesium, manganese, scandium, molybdenum, cobalt, tungsten, iron, vanadium, tin, titanium, silicon and zinc and is different from the M5 metal. The catalysts are highly efficient propylene oxide polymerization catalysts characterized by rapid activation, short times to the onset of rapid polymerization and high polymerization rates once rapid polymerization has begun.
