Ring-opening polymerization of cyclic esters by 3- and 4-pyridinyl Schiff base Zn(II) and Cu(II) paddlewheel complexes: kinetic, mechanistic and tacticity studies

Ring-opening polymerization of cyclic esters by 3- and 4-pyridinyl Schiff base Zn(II) and Cu(II) paddlewheel complexes: kinetic, mechanistic and tacticity studies

We have previously reported a series of highly active N,O-Amino-phenolate Mg(II) and Zn(II) Schiff base complexes for caprolactone and lactide polymerization (Munzeiwa, Nyamori, and Omondi, 2019). Herein we report carboxylate Zn(II) and Cu(II) pyridinyl Schiff base complexes and in particular, those...
