Abstract

A novel and efficient calcium alkoxide initiating system, generated in situ from bis(tetrahydrofuran)calcium bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)amide] and an alcohol, for the ring-opening polymerization of cyclic esters has been developed. The solution polymerization in THF using mild conditions is living, yielding polyesters of controlled molecular weight and tailored macromolecular architecture. The polymerizations initiated with the 2-propanol−Ca[N(SiMe 3 ) 2 ] 2 (THF) 2 system are first-order in monomer with no induction period. At high 2-propanol/Ca[N(SiMe 3 ) 2 ] 2 (THF) 2 ratios, complete conversion of 2-propanol occurs due to fast and reversible transfer between dormant and active species.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
