Zinc and magnesium complexes supported by bulky multidentate amino-ether phenolate ligands: potent pre-catalysts for the immortal ring-opening polymerisation of cyclic esters.
A family of heteroleptic complexes of zinc and magnesium supported by bulky multidentate amino-ether phenolate ligands has been developed; in combination with external chain transfer agents, they constitute efficient binary catalytic systems for the immortal ring-opening polymerisation of cyclic esters.
