Indium phosphasalen catalysts showing high isoselectivity and activity in racemic lactide and lactone ring opening polymerizations

Stereoblock polylactide (PLA) shows higher melting temperatures and better mechanical properties than other PLA stereoisomers. More stereoselective and active catalysts are needed to polymerize racemic-lactide (LA) and produce stereoblock PLA. This work describes a series of phosphasalen indium cata...
