Different mechanisms at different temperatures for the ring-opening polymerization of lactide catalyzed by binuclear magnesium and zinc alkoxides.

TL;DR: Two binuclear magnesium and zinc alkoxides supported by a bis-salalen type dinucleating heptadentate Schiff base ligand were synthesized and fully characterized, affording polymers with narrow polydispersities and desirable molecular weights.

Bis(oxazolinyl)phenylborane: A Lewis acid-containing ligand for methide abstraction-based coordination to aluminum(III)

TL;DR: A compound that contains a Lewis acidic boron center and coordinating oxazoline groups and a planar six-membered chelate ring was prepared and spectroscopically characterized, suggesting the possibility of using these oxazolinylboratoaluminum compounds in catalytic reactions, as is demonstrated by lactide ring-opening polymerization.
