This article reviews the usefulness of tin (II) and tin (IV) salts and compounds as catalysts for
the polymerization of lactides. The text is subdivided into nine parts mainly reflecting …

A new concept called ring‐opening polymerization–polycondensation (ROPPOC) is
presented and discussed. This synthetic strategy is based on the intermediate formation of …

Abstract A stable O, N‐heterocyclic stannylene 1 bearing novel tetradentate 2, 4‐di‐tert‐
butyl‐6‐((2‐(1‐((pyridin‐2‐ylmethyl) imino) ethyl) phenyl) amino) phenolate ligand (RAPH2) …

The ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of L-lactide (L-LA) is the main method for
synthesizing poly (L-lactide)(PLLA), in which choosing the catalyst is one of the most …

Over the last two decades, the low-valent compounds of group-14 elements have received
significant attention in several fields of chemistry owing to their unique electronic properties …

L-Lactide was polymerized with tin (II) acetate, tin (II) 2-ethyl hexanoate, diphenyltin
dichloride and dibutyltin bis (pentafluorophenoxide) at 130° C in bulk. When an alcohol was …

The paper reviews data reported on the synthesis, molecular and electronic structure of
heterocyclic derivatives of low valent silicon, germanium, tin, and lead for the period from …

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 …

A series of homoleptic and heteroleptic imine and amine Schiff-base tin (II) complexes
containing dimethylamino and pyridyl side arms were synthesized and structurally …

Novel homoleptic and heteroleptic (guanidinate) tin (II) complexes were successfully
synthesized and structurally characterized. The first heteroleptic (guanidinato) tin (II) …
