Isoselective ring-opening polymerization of rac-lactide initiated by achiral heteroscorpionate zwitterionic zinc complexes

Abstract

A highly isotactic stereoblock PLA has been obtained using the achiral heteroscorpionate zwitterionic zinc complexes as catalysts, for the first time, via a chain-end control mechanism.
