Abstract

AbstractFinding catalysts that are both robust and highly active at room temperature can often be considered as a daunting challenge. Yet, these features are desirable for polymer synthesis as they allow to produce materials of interest easily and sustainably. Herein, commercial reagents are used to form in situ “ate” complexes which were found to be highly active in the room temperature anionic polymerization of methyl methacrylate. Also of particular interest is their ability to polymerize rac‐lactide, and even form block copolymers of poly(methyl methacrylate) and poly(lactic acid).
