Spatially directional multiarm poly(epsilon-caprolactone) based on resorcin[4]arene cavitand core.
Highly crystalline directional poly(epsilon-caprolactone) based on a tetrahydroxymethyl resorcin[4]arene initiator core was synthesized by a "core first" method via ring-opening polymerization catalyzed by Sn(Oct)(2) in bulk at 120 degrees C.
