title: Living alternating copolymerization of N-alkylaziridines and carbon monoxide as a route for synthesis of poly-beta-peptoids.
abstract: The title copolymerization catalyzed by BnCOCo(CO)4 affords poly-beta-alanoids in excellent yields and selectivity. The poly-beta-alanoids have narrow molecular weight distributions, controllable molecular weights, and definite end groups.
