Controlled ring-opening polymerization of lactide by group 3 metal complexes
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this review, attention is focused on the use of group 3 metal complexes for the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of lactide to give polylactides (PLAs). Synthesis of PLAs has been studied intensively due to their biocompatible and biodegradable properties and their potential applications in medical and agricultural fields. ROP of lactide, a cyclic diester of lactic acid, provides PLA. This review includes our recent research results and implications in developing new amino-bis(phenolate) group 3 initiators for the synthesis of polyesters.

متن کاملCationic and charge-neutral calcium tetrahydroborate complexes and their use in the controlled ring-opening polymerisation of rac-lactide.
The first cationic main group tetrahydroborate complexes are reported. [Ca(BH(4))(THF)(5)][BPh(4)] and the charge neutral (Tp((t)Bu,Me))Ca(BH(4))(THF) are initiators for the living ring opening polymerization of rac-lactide, the latter producing PLA with high levels of heterotactic enrichment. These represent a new class of ROP initiators for main group metals.
