Zwitterionic Ring-opening Polymerization

Zwitterionic Ring-Opening Polymerization is a ring-opening polymerization mechanism in which the initiating species and propagating chain ends exist as zwitterions—bearing both a cationic and anionic center within the same molecule—enabling unique, concerted ring-opening and chain propagation pathways driven by intramolecular electrostatic stabilization.
