Then, polymerization was executed and the catalyst was removed according to the same procedures as described in Example 1, resulting in pure copolymer. TABLE 3 summarizes results of the polymerization. FIG. 2 shows GPC curves of a copolymer obtained by carbon dioxide/propylene oxide copolymerization in the presence of tricarballylic acid (C3H5(CO2H)3) and diepoxide, wherein reference numeral in each curve denotes an entry number in TABLE 2.
