Unprecedented ring-opening polymerization of quinazolinones to produce novel polyacylamidines, led by a unique cooperation between a cesium metal center and imino-phosphanamidinate ligand, was developed. Morphological studies revealed the formation of a unique macromolecular assembly producing nanofibers in the absence of a templating agent with excellent control of molecular weights and polydispersity index.

Polythioesters (PTEs) are emerging sustainable polymers for their degradability and recyclability. However, low polymerizability of monomers and extensive side reactions often hampered the polymerization process. Moreover, copolymers containing both thioester and other types of functional groups in the backbone are highly desirable but rarely accomplished owing to several synthetic challenges.

Aliphatic polyesters and polythioesters are very interesting alternatives for current fossil-based and degradation-resistant plastics, due to their high (bio)degradability and (chemical) recyclability potential. Two important examples include polylactide (PLD), currently leading the synthetic bioplastics market, and its sulfur analog polythiolactide (PTLD). Both polymers can be made by ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of their corresponding (thio)dilactones, lactide (LD) and thiolactide (TLD) respectively.

Organocatalytic ring-opening polymerization (ROP) is a versatile method for synthesizing well-defined polymers with controlled molecular weights, dispersities, and nonlinear macromolecular architectures. Despite spectacular advances in organocatalytic ROP, precision synthesis of polysiloxanes remains challenging due to the mismatch in polarity between highly polar initiators and nonpolar monomers and polymers and the difficulty in suppressing the formation of scrambling products via transetherification reactions during ROP of cyclic siloxanes. Here, we describe a binary organocatalytic ROP (BOROP) of hexamethylcyclotrisiloxane (D3) employing organic bases as catalysts and (thio)ureas as cocatalysts.

The rapid and controlled synthesis of high-molecular-weight (HMW) polysarcosine (pSar), a potential polyethylene glycol (PEG) alternative, via the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of -carboxyanhydride (NCA) is rare and challenging. Here, we report the well-controlled ROP of sarcosine NCA (Sar-NCA) that is catalyzed by various carboxylic acids, which accelerate the polymerization rate up to 50 times, and enables the robust synthesis of pSar with an unprecedented ultrahigh molecular weight (UHMW) up to 586 kDa (DP ∼ 8200) and exceptionally narrow dispersity () below 1.05.
