Abstract

Indium trichloride, benzyl alcohol, and triethylamine (without an added ‘directing’ multidentate ligand) generate a catalystin situ for the room temperature polymerization of D,L-lactide affording highly heterotactic polylactide of controlled molecular weight and narrow molecular weight distribution.
