Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to a process of deactivating a polycarbonate, by mixing a polycarbonate having an active alkali metal catalyst residue therein with a deactivator represented of a formula of:wherein, R1-R7 and R9 are, independently, hydrogen; aliphatic hydrocarbon of from 1 to 20 carbon atoms; substituted aromatic hydrocarbon of from 6 to 20 carbon atoms; or unsubstituted aromatic hydrocarbon of from 6 to 20 carbon atoms; R8 and R10-R13 are, independently, substituted or unsubstituted aromatic hydrocarbon of from 6 to 20 carbon atoms; or aliphatic hydrocarbon of from 1 to 20 carbon atoms; A is a tetrafunctional hydrocarbon group; and x is an integer of from 1 to 3, at a temperature and time sufficient to deactivate the alkali metal catalyst to form a deactivated polycarbonate, wherein the deactivated catalyst is not removed from the deactivated polycarbonate. The invention also relates to a polycarbonate having a deactivated metal catalyst.
