Abstract

In the industrial production of biodegradable, bio-based, and recyclable polylactic acid (PLA), Sn(Oct)2 is the most commonly used catalyst for the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of L-lactide (L-LA). However, its toxicity presents significant limitations, particularly in biomedical applications. Identifying a non-toxic alternative to Sn(Oct)2 under melting conditions remains a challenge. In this study, we report cerium(IV) complexes with aminotriphenol ligands that exhibit excellent catalytic performances for the ROP of L-LA under both mild and melting conditions. Ultra-high molecular weight PLA (up to 224.00 kg/mol) was obtained at 140°C and high catalytic activity was observed even at low catalyst loading. This is the first report of cerium(IV) complexes exhibiting such high activity, suggesting that they could serve as a viable substitute for Sn(Oct)2. Additionally, high heteroselectivity for rac-LA was observed in both solution (Pr = 0.98) and melting conditions (Pr = 0.86).
