Abstract

Oxiranes, such as glycidyl phenyl ether, benzyl glycidate, glycidyl methyl ether, and styrene oxide, were copolymerized with dicarboxylic anhydrides, such as succinic anhydride, phthalic anhydride, and maleic anhydride, by the action of an enzyme in a stepwise reaction to produce the corresponding polyesters containing some ether linkages having a maximum M~w~ of 13 500. Oxiranes, such as glycidol and glycidyl phenyl ether, were also homopolymerized and copolymerized with other oxiranes by the enzyme to produce the corresponding polyethers.

## Abstract The ring‐opening polymerization of ε‐caprolactone (ε‐CL) has been investigated in the presence of succinic acid in nitrogen atmosphere at 225°C. Analysis of the resultant polymers suggests that the poly(ε‐caprolactone) (PCL) obtained has two terminal carboxylic groups. VPO, ^1^H NMR and

The development of processable high molecular weight polymers with skeletal transition metal atoms represents a synthetic challenge that, if overcome, can be expected to yield a variety of materials with novel electrical, optical, magnetic, or preceramic properties. Recent work has shown that the ri
