Phosphasalen indium complexes showing high rates and isoselectivities in rac-lactide polymerisations

Polylactide (PLA) is the leading bioderived polymer, produced commercially by the metal catalysed ring-opening polymerisation of lactide. Control over tacticity to produce stereoblock PLA, from rac-lactide, improves thermal properties but is an outstanding challenge. Here, phosphasalen indium catal...
