title: Bimetallic aluminum alkyl complexes as highly active initiators for the polymerization of ε-caprolactone.
abstract: Two dinuclear aluminum alkyl complexes supported by a piperazidine-bridged bis(phenolato) group were prepared, and both complexes exhibited extremely high activity for the ring-opening polymerization of ε-caprolactone. In the presence of benzyl alcohol (BnOH), the polymerization accelerated dramatically.
