Vanadium(<scp>v</scp>) phenolate complexes for ring opening homo- and co-polymerisation of ε-caprolactone, <scp>l</scp>-lactide and rac-lactide

Abstract

Vanadium(<sc>v</sc>) di-, tri- and tetra-phenolate complexes have been screened for their ability to ring open homo- (and co-) polymerise ε-caprolactone, <sc>l</sc>-lactide and <italic>rac</italic>-lactide.
