A plausible mechanism for ring-opening polymerization of lactide catalyzed by Zn(C6F5)2-based Lewis pairs was proposed based on in situ NMR and MALDI-TOF MS analyses. Several experimental results show very good consistency with the proposed mechanism.

Simple Lewis pairs consisting of organobases and zinc salts were explored to promote ring-opening polymerization of phenyl O-carboxyanhydride via bifunctional catalysis, producing well-defined poly(α-hydroxyalkanoic acid)s with good isotacticity (Pm = 0.88).
