This Perspective article summarizes efforts paid in our group to develop efficient metal-
based catalysts for the immortal ring-opening polymerization (iROP) of cyclic esters in the …

Stereo-defects present in stereo-regular polymers often diminish thermal and mechanical
properties, and hence suppressing or eliminating them is a major aspirational goal for …

Efficient protocols for the syntheses of well-defined, solvent-free cations of the large alkaline-
earth (Ae) metals (Ca, Sr, Ba) and their smaller Zn and Mg analogues have been designed …

Abstract Poly (β‐hydroxyalkanoate) s (PHAs) are a class of aliphatic polyesters that can be
efficiently synthesized by ring‐opening polymerization (ROP) of β‐lactones. The case of …

The synthesis and ring-opening polymerization (ROP) capability of bis (phenolate) amine-
supported samarium borohydride and amide complexes are reported, together with a DFT …

A series of neutral lanthanide alkoxides supported by an amine-bridged bis (phenolate)
ligand were synthesized, and their catalytic behaviors for the polymerization of rac-lactide …

The first cationic main group tetrahydroborate complexes are reported.[Ca (BH4)(THF)
5][BPh4] and the charge neutral (TptBu, Me) Ca (BH4)(THF) are initiators for the living ring …

Hydrosilylation of alkynes generally yield vinylsilanes, which are inert to the further
hydrosilylation because of the steric effects. Reported here is the first successful …
