Provided are a bimetallic zinc complex and a method of producing
polycarbonate, including polymerizing an epoxy compound and carbon
dioxide using the bimetallic zinc complex. The bimetallic zinc complex
according to the present invention has a distance between zinc-zinc
atoms, which is maintained in a limited range regardless of its
concentration in a reaction medium for the polymerization. Thus, the
bimetallic zinc complex can have a polymerization activity even at a high
ratio of monomer/catalyst, thereby reducing a catalyst amount to be used,
which is economically advantageous. Further, the bimetallic zinc complex
can produce a high molecular weight polycarbonate.
