β-Diketiminate aluminium complexes: synthesis, characterization and ring-opening polymerization of cyclic esters

TL;DR: The monomeric structure of the aluminium complex 3k was confirmed by an X-ray diffraction study, which shows that the aluminium center is coordinated by both of the nitrogen donors of the chelating diketiminate ligand and the two ethyl groups in a distorted tetrahedral geometry.

Exploitation of dinuclear salan aluminum complexes for versatile copolymerization of ε-caprolactone and L-lactide

TL;DR: By combining the influence of excess alcohol, temperature and monomer-to-initiator ratios in the feed, dinuclear salan aluminum complexes L(R)Al(2)Me(4) exhibited a high degree of control towards the copolymerization of L-LA and ε-CL, producing blocky, gradient, tapered and random copolymers.

A Strategy for Control of "Random" Copolymerization of Lactide and Glycolide: Application to Synthesis of PEG-b-PLGA Block Polymers Having Narrow Dispersity.

TL;DR: A novel strategy that employs a controlled addition of the more reactive glycolide monomer to a solution containing the lactide monomers, the poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) macroinitiator, and DBU catalyst was developed and synthesized a series of block copolymers that exhibited excellent correlation of the expected and observed molecular weights and possessed narrow PDIs.
