title: Polymerization of enantiopure monomers using syndiospecific catalysts: a new approach to sequence control in polymer synthesis.
abstract: The ring-opening polymerization of a mixture of enantiomerically pure but different monomers using an yttrium complex as initiator proceeds readily at room temperature to give the corresponding highly alternating polyester.
