Towards a Predictive Conceptual Model for Polymerization of Cyclic Esters Catalyzed by Group 14 Metal Complexes Vrije Universiteit Brussel
is one of the key challenges of the modern society. Such
biodegradable bioplastics are synthesized via controllable ringopening polymerization (ROP) of cyclic esters. ROP catalyst development has recently been dominated by cationic main group metal complexes. Surprisingly, tin based cationic complexes have
been overlooked so far, despite the fact that the ...
