Abstract

Two sodium complexes, [(mu(3)-MDBP)Na-2(THF)(2)](2)[(mu(3)-OCH2CH2OCH3)Na](2) (1) and [(mu(1)-MDBP)Na(mu(2)-H2O)(THF)](2)(THF)(2) (2) have been synthesized and structurally characterized. Experimental results show that complex 1 initiates efficiently the ring opening polymerization of L-lactide in a controlled fashion, yielding polymers with narrow polydispersity indexes in a wide range of monomer-to-initiator ratios.
