This review presents the state of the art of complex macromolecular architectures based on
polylactide stereocomplexes (PLA-sc) from the viewpoint of synthesis and crystallization …

Spiro-orthoesters, produced from the coupling of lactones and epoxides, are presequenced
monomers capable of generating alternating poly (ether-alt-esters) after ring-opening …

Indium compounds are commonly considered weaker Lewis acids than their gallium
counterparts. We explore the difference in Lewis acidity of the cationic dialkylgallium [GaR2 …

Ring‐expansion polymerizations (REPs) catalyzed by two cyclic tin catalysts (2‐stanna‐1.3‐
dioxa‐4, 5, 6, 7‐dibenzazepine [SnBiph] and 2, 2‐dibutyl‐2‐stanna‐1, 3‐dithiolane [DSTL]) …

(Co) poly-γ-butyrolactone (pGBL) is a thermoplastic material of high interest to replace
common plastics with a more sustainable alternative due to its biodegradability, re …

No-end topology provides cyclic polyesters with potential abstracting applications, but more
efficient and selective routes still need to be explored to access cyclic polyesters with high …

Hemilabile ligands are highly promising components of advanced catalysts because their
switchable coordination modes can trigger novel activation and stabilization mechanisms …

Synthesis of two types of complexes (heteroleptic vs homoleptic) is accomplished by an
elegant variation of the ligand design. Heteroleptic ethyl zinc complexes 1a–3a were cleanly …

The polymerisation of lactide monomers by heavier alkaline earth complexes supported by a
phenoxy-imine NOON ligand, DippLM (thf) x (DippL=[2, 7-(CNDipp)-1, 8-O-C10H4] 2 …

L-Lactide (LA) was polymerized with neat tin (II) 2-ethylhexanoate (SnOct2) in toluene at
115° C at low concentration with variation of the LA/Cat ratio. Cyclic polylactides (cPLAs) …
