A dimeric yttrium phenoxide complex can be oxidized in a stepwise fashion to access three oxidation states. The three states show different activity in the ring opening polymerization of cyclic esters and epoxides.

Organocatalysis is highly efficient in the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of cyclic esters. A variety of initiators broaden the areas of organocatalysis in polymerization of different monomers, such as lactones, cyclic carbonates, lactides or gycolides, ethylene phosphates and phosphonates, and others. The mechanisms of organocatalytic ROP are at least as diverse as the mechanisms of coordination ROP; the study of these mechanisms is critical in ensuring the polymer compositions and architectures. The use of density functional theory (DFT) methods for comparative modeling and visualization of organocatalytic ROP pathways, in line with experimental proof of the structures of the reaction intermediates, make it possible to establish these mechanisms. In the present review, which continues and complements our recent manuscript that focused on DFT modeling of coordination ROP, we summarized the results of DFT modeling of organocatalytic ROP of cyclic esters and some related organocatalytic processes, such as polyester transesterification.

The aim of this paper is to present a synthesis method of poly(ε-caprolactone) by the ring opening polymerization of ε-caprolactone catalyzed with nontoxic magnesium lactate. The results indicated that Mg(Lac)2 is a catalyst with moderate activity for the polymerization of ε-caprolactone. Effects of the catalyst and reaction temperatures on the microstructure of the ε-caprolactone and L-lactide copolymers were investigated by means of 13C-NMR spectroscopy. An increase in the reaction temperature enhances the role of transesterification and the extent of randomness.

AbstractThe ring-opening polymerization of ethylene carbonate was examined using ionic liquids, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([bmim]BF4) and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chlorozincate ([bmim]Cl-(ZnCl2)x), as polymerization catalysts. It was shown that the polymerization was accompanied with decarboxylation and chain cleavage reaction. As the reaction time increased, the monomer conversion increased and the content of ethylene carbonate units in the resultant polymer decreased, while the polymer molecular weight increased at first, reached a maximum and then decreased. It was also found that not only the polymerizing activity of the [bmim]Cl-(ZnCl2)x but also its performance for suppressing the decarboxylation and chain cleavage increased with the molar fraction of ZnCl2. It was deduced that the catalytic performance of ionic liquids mainly depended on their inorganic anions and that the larger the amount of these anions in the reaction system, the better the catalytic performance. The polymerizing activity of ionic liquids was much higher than conventional catalysts often used for the polymerization of ethylene carbonate.

AbstractRing-opening polymerizations of L-lactide were carried out in the presence of Sm(II) (SmI2/Sm) and the Sm(III) complex [Sm(m-Cl){N(SiMe3)2}2(THF)]2 (Me: CH3, THF: tetrahydrofuran). The polymerizations were performed using different mole ratios of monomer to initiator and for different time intervals. The complexes were found to be active polymerization catalysts and led to the synthesis of semicrystalline, optically active poly(L-lactide) retaining about 95.5% of the optical activity. This shows that - with the initiator systems used - polymerization proceeds with the retention of configuration at the chiral carbon atom.
