The syntheses, properties and selected applications of star-shaped polymers with arms
composed of homo-or copolymers of polylactide (PLA) is reviewed. The star-shaped …

We report three niobium-based initiators for the catalytic ring-opening polymerization (ROP)
of ε-caprolactone, exhibiting good activity and molecular weight control. In particular, we …

The development of well-defined homogeneous catalysts for the ring-opening
polymerization (ROP) of cyclic esters has made enormous progress over the past decade …

We introduce an air-and moisture-stable hydroxy-bridged indium salan complex as a highly
active and controlled catalyst for the ring-opening polymerization of cyclic esters in air. The …

Diiminopyrrolide copper alkoxide complexes, LCuOR (OR1= N, N‐dimethylamino ethoxide,
OR2= 2‐pyridyl methoxide), are active for the polymerization of rac‐lactide at ambient …

Cu (O i Pr) 2 was reacted with several β-diketimine ligands, nacnac RH. Sterically
undemanding ligands with N-benzyl substituents afforded the dimeric heteroleptic …

Reaction of NR, N′-R′-2, 5-diiminopyrroles (R= R′= S-CH (Me) Ph; R= R′= CH2Ph; R=
S-CH (Me) Ph, R′= H) with Cu (OMe) 2 in the presence of chelating alcohols, ROH (R1 …

To develop bench‐stable and nontoxic catalysts for the ring‐opening polymerization (ROP)
of lactides is of importance with the aim of reducing costs in industrial production. Although …

A series of N-(pyridinylmethyl) aniline Zn (II) carboxylate complexes were synthesized and
fully characterized by NMR, IR, mass spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The reaction of …

Four new copper complexes based on bidentate imino phenoxide ligands were synthesized
and characterized by IR, UV–Vis spectroscopy, ESI mass spectrometry, single crystal X-ray …
