The development of catalysts for stereospecific polymerization 1,3-dienes is an area interest due to the robust nature poly(1,3-diene)s' physical and mechanical properties, as well material's versatility in many applications. Dialkyl rare earth metal complexes supported by a diverse cast ligand frameworks are selective exciting option examination. However, this has been hampered focus on complex catalyst systems that costly make. In study, we synthesize series simple homoleptic trialkyl...
Ligand features that promote one-pot block copolymerization of 1,3-dienes and cyclic esters were realized with yttrium β-diketiminate complexes. Depolymerization repolymerization the polyester introduced a plausible recycling strategy.
