Studies towards degradable polymers new zinc (II) and palladium (II) complexes as catalysts for lactide polymerization and carbon monoxide

Includes abstract. === Includes bibliographical references. === In this study a range of new zinc and palladium complexes were synthesized, characterized and used in the production of degradable polymers. Zinc complexes were used for the production of polylactides (PLAs) functionalized with a drug c...
