Abstract
For the transesterification of DMT (dimethyl lerephthalate) and polycondensation of BHET [bis(2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalate)], catalytic activity of various metal complex can be correlated with acidity of metal ion, which is expressed as modified electronegativily. Based on correlations mode of catalysis for the formation of PET [poly(ethylene terephthalate] was suggested.
