Highly active and stereoselective zirconium and hafnium alkoxide initiators for solvent-free ring-opening polymerization of rac-lactide
Amanda J. Chmura, Matthew G. Davidson, Catherine J. Frankis, Matthew D. Jones and Matthew D. Lunn
Under solvent-free conditions (at 130 °C), zirconium and hafnium amine tris(phenolate) alkoxides are extremely active, well-controlled, single-site initiators for the ring-opening polymerization of rac-lactide, yielding highly heterotactic polylactide.
