Stereoregular cyclic poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) enabled by catalyst-controlled tacticity and topology

Abstract

Metal-based catalysts with large ionic radii and longer and more ionic metal–polymer bonds can control both stereoselectivity of polymerization and chain cyclization leading to stereoregular cyclic P3HB.
