Yttrium amidate complexes for the catalytic synthesis of biodegradable polymers and amides
Yttrium complexes are highly attractive systems for use in catalysis due to their high activity, low cost, and low toxicity. The highly modular amidate ligand set allows for easy variation of steric and electronic properties and, therefore, the reactive metal complex. This thesis explores the synthe...
