An azobenzene-bridged 15-crown-5 ether (1) was successfully used as photoswitchable cocatalyst modulating the catalytic activity of potassium acetate (KOAc) in the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of L-lactide (L-LA) when initiated from...
The recent advances in catalysis enriched the toolbox to prepare well-defined polyester materials such as polylactide (PLA). Herein we report the use of crown ethers to speed up the polymerization...
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
