Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A method of producing a polycarbonate, the method comprising: polymerizing a dihydric phenol and a carbonate precursor in the presence of oxalic acid to produce a polycarbonate with a yellowness index of less than or equal to 10 measured in accordance with ASTM E313 test method on molded samples having a thickness of about 2.5 millimeters; wherein the amount of oxalic acid ranges from about 20 parts per million to about 350 parts per million, relative to an amount of the dihydric phenol; wherein the dihydric phenol is represented by Formula (I): wherein R is a hydrogen atom or an aliphatic functionality having 1 to 6 carbon atoms; and n is an integer having a value of 1 to 4.
