DMC complexes were prepared with and without using a co-complexing agent. The catalyst with monoclinic/rhombohedral crystal structure and strong Lewis acidity, prepared without using a co-complexing agent showed higher initial activity than that with a cubic structure prepared using a co-complexing agent. Interestingly, no induction period in the terpolymerization reaction was observed. The terpolymer has 75.5 mol% of carbonate fraction in its composition and an average molecular weight of 22 700 and polydispersity index of 2.97. It is characterized by a T-g of 55 degrees C. This structure-induced catalytic activity of DMC can open up new avenues for its applications in other reactions. The influence of process parameters on the catalytic activity of DMC was investigated.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">24</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3.289</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
