Heteroleptic phenoxyimino tin(II) bis(trimethylsilyl)amides for the synthesis of poly(diester-alt-ethers) from cyclohexene oxide and succinic anhydride

The search for biodegradable polyesters with tunable physical properties has gone beyond the ring-opening polymerisation of cyclic esters to the copolymerisation of epoxides and cyclic anhydrides. Tin(II) complexes are active...
