Living Polymerization of Chiral O-Carboxyanhydride of Mandelic Acid and Precise Stereoblock Copolymer Syntheses Using Highly Active OOO-Tridentate Bis(phenolate) Zinc Complexes

The synthesis of highly stereoregular poly(mandelic acid) (PMA) via controllable polymerization is a considerable challenge because of the easy racemization of monomers during polymerization; conse...
