Transforming how plastics are made, unmade, and remade through innovative research and
diverse partnerships that together foster environmental stewardship is critically important to …

It is likely that a half-century ago even enthusiastic and optimistic proponents of the synthetic
polymer industry (Mr. McGuire included) could not have predicted the massive scale on …

Ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of cyclic esters (lactones, lactides, cyclic carbonates
and phosphates) is an effective tool to synthesize biocompatible and biodegradable …

Highly active yttrium phosphasalen initiators for the stereocontrolled ring-opening
polymerization of rac-lactide are reported. The initiators are coordinated by a new class of …

Understanding how to moderate and improve catalytic activity is critical to improving
degradable polymer production. Here, di‐and monozinc catalysts, coordinated by bis (imino) …

A series of dialkylaluminum and-indium {ONR} MR′ 2 complexes (M= Al, R′= Me; M= In,
R′= Me, CH2SiMe3) stabilized by a phenoxy-imine {ONR}− ligand platform, with variable R …

The kinetic behavior of the catalytic ring-opening polymerization (c ROP) of a range of
macrolactones, including ω-pentadecalaconte (PDL), ambrettolide (Amb), and butylene …

The synthesis of enantiomerically pure aluminium, gallium and indium complexes supported
by chiral (R, R)‐(HHONNOHH)(1),(R, R)‐(MeHONNOHMe)(2),(R, R)‐(tButBuONNOtButBu) …

A series of mono-and dinuclear aluminum alkyl complexes stabilized by phenolato ligands
have been prepared through alkane elimination reactions. Treatment of piperazidine …

Redox-switching of a formazanate zinc catalyst in ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of
