Cooperative effects of Schiff base binuclear zinc complexes on the synthesis of aliphatic and semi-aromatic polyesters

Abstract

In this paper we use mono- and bi-metallic complexes, based on earth-abundant, cheap and benign zinc, for the synthesis of sustainable aliphatic and semi-aromatic polyesters. Tridentate and hexadentate aldimine-thioetherphenolate ligands...

Crafting sustainable solutions: architecting biodegradable copolymers through controlled ring-opening copolymerization

“…This term, cooperativity, is still in its infancy and has been reviewed by many authors. [79][80][81] Meléndez et al in 2017 investigated alkyl aluminum initiator 106 supported by amidinate ligands, which proved to be of great potential in the ROP of L-LA and ε-CL (Fig. 23).…”
