Abstract

Aluminum-based salen and salan complexes mediate the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of rac-β-butyrolactone (β-BL), rac-lactide, and ε-caprolactone. Al-salen and Al-salan complexes exhibit excellent control over the ROP of rac-β-butyrolactone, yielding atactic poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) with narrow PDIs of
