title: Zinc-Catalyzed Highly Isoselective Ring Opening Polymerization ofrac-Lactide.
abstract: A family of chiral zinc amido-oxazolinate complexes are shown to be highly active and isoselective initiators for the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) ofrac-lactide, yielding isotactic stereoblock polylactides (PLA) withPmup to 0.91. This represents the highest isoselectivity observed with zinc-based catalysts for ROP ofrac-lactide.
