This review describes the recent advances (from 2008 onwards) in the use of Schiff-base
metal complexes as catalysts for the ring opening polymerization (ROP) of cyclic esters. The …

After years of influence of titanium-based Ziegler–Natta catalysts on “petropolymers”
synthesis, titanium complexes are experiencing a resurgence in research efforts as …

Polylactide (PLA) is an attractive polymeric material due to its origin from annually
renewable resources and its biodegradability. The ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of …

Aluminum complexes of enantiomerically pure aminomethylpyrrolidine-based salalen
ligands and their application in the stereoselective polymerization of lactide are described …

A family of racemic and enantiopure indium complexes 1–11 bearing bulky chiral
diaminoaryloxy ligands, H (NNOR), were synthesized and fully characterized. Investigation …

Group 4 salalen complexes for the production and degradation of polylactide - Chemical
Communications (RSC Publishing) DOI:10.1039/C1CC13910J Royal Society of Chemistry View …

Recently we reported a series of highly active Al (III)-complexes bearing a catalen ligand
support for lactide polymerisation, observing unprecedented activity in the melt. Herein we …

In this paper we have prepared a series of Ti (IV), Hf (IV) and Al (III) complexes based on
bipyrrolidine salan pro-ligands. The Hf (IV) complexes have all been characterised in the …

New zinc guanidine complexes with N, O donor functionalities were prepared, characterized
by X‐Ray crystallography, and examined for their catalytic activity in the solvent‐free ring …

Aluminum complexes of non-chiral-salalen ligands were investigated in the catalysis of ring-
opening polymerization (ROP) of lactide and ε-caprolactone and in their copolymerization …
