Alkaline earth and rare earth complexes for the ring opening polymerisation of cyclic esters

<p>This Thesis describes the use of alkaline earth and rare earth complexes bearing phenolate ligands as catalysts in the amine-initiated, immortal ring opening polymerisation (ROP) of cyclic esters. Mechanistic elucidation was performed and two propagation pathways are presented.</p><...
