Chemical recycling processes can contribute to a resource‐efficient plastic economy. Herein, a procedure for the iron‐catalyzed hydrogenation of the carbonate function of end‐of‐life polycarbonates under simultaneous depolymerization is presented. The use of a straightforward iron pincer complex leads to high rate of depolymerization of poly(bisphenol A carbonate) and poly(propylene carbonate) yielding the monomers bisphenol A and 1,2‐propanediol, respectively, as products under mild reaction conditions. Furthermore, the iron complex was able to depolymerize polycarbonates containing goods and mixture of plastics containing polycarbonates.

铁钳式复合物对报废聚碳酸酯进行加氢解聚。

化学回收过程可以促进节约资源的塑料经济。本文介绍了在同时解聚的条件下，对报废聚碳酸酯的碳酸酯功能进行铁催化氢化的方法。使用简单的铁夹钳络合物会导致聚（碳酸双酚A）和聚碳酸亚丙酯的高解聚速率，在温和的反应条件下分别生成双酚A和1,2-丙二醇单体。此外，铁络合物能够使含有货物的聚碳酸酯和含有聚碳酸酯的塑料混合物解聚。
