The thulium complexes [Tm((i)Pr-trisox)(CH(2)SiMe(2)R)(3)] (R = Me , Ph ) were synthesized from the thulium trialkyl precursors [Tm(CH(2)SiMe(2)R)(3)(thf)(2)]; reaction of with two equivalents of [Ph(3)C][B(C(6)F(5))(4)] gave a cationic complex 1c, which was found to polymerize 1-hexene, 1-heptene and 1-octene to give the corresponding polyolefins with moderate to good activities and with minimum isotacticity of 90%, 83% and 95%, respectively.

The stereoregularity of a polymer plays a key role in determining its properties. While stereocontrol can easily be achieved in coordination and ionic polymerization, it remains a challenge with radical polymerization. Considering the ubiquity and versatility of radical polymerization, significant efforts have been made over the past 50 years to address this issue.

Cationic polymerization of vinyl ethers to access poly(vinyl ether) polymeric materials has been challenging due to stringent polymerization conditions and inevitable chain transfer. Herein we introduce a protocol using trifluoromethyl sulfonates to catalyze the polymerization of a series of vinyl ethers. These trifluoromethyl sulfonates are fully commercially available and can be stored under ambient conditions.

Control over stereochemistry in poly(vinyl ether)s leads to a notable change in their physical properties, yet remains a grand challenge. Here, we demonstrate the bulk stereoselective cationic polymerization of vinyl ethers using ZrCl coordinated with a spirocyclic phosphoric acid (SPA). The widely variable substituents in SPAs exert a profound impact on the stereochemical and activity outcome of the polymerization: the % m of poly(vinyl ether)s linearly increases with the Hammett substituent constant (σ) of SPAs; the catalytic activity increases with the σ; the large steric hindrance groups lead to decreased polymerization activity.

The Xylene Soluble (XS) is one of the most important parameters closely related to the performance of polypropylene (PP) materials. In order to obtain precise and accurate XS data, ASTM D 5492-17, based on the wet chemistry separation mechanism, strictly specifies each and every step of the procedure, such as a glassware setup, heating and cooling rates, etc. Meanwhile, crystallization elution fractionation (CEF), a newly developed technique, is capable of quantifying polyolefin structural regularity and comonomer distribution in a fast and automated manner.

The development of chemically circular, bio-based polymers is an urgently needed solution to combat the plastic waste crisis. However, the most prominent, commercially implemented bio-based aliphatic polyester, poly(lactic acid) (PLA), is brittle, therefore largely limiting its broad applications. Herein, we introduce a class of aliphatic polyesters produced through the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of (1,5S)-8,8-dimethyl-3-oxabicyclo[3.
