## Abstract By using less catalyst in the ring‐opening polymerization of ε‐caprolactone, a residual tin content of 5 ppm was reached without the need for additional purification. The initial amount of tin (II) 2‐ethylhexanoate [Sn(Oct)~2~] was varied using catalyst:monomer ratios of 1:1000, 1:10,00
## Abstract **Summary:** The isolation and structural characterization of a methylaluminium(bisphenoxide)‐__ε__‐caprolactone complex is reported. While the three‐coordinate methylaluminium complex was found not to catalyze the polymerization of __ε__‐caprolactone, its oxygenation led to the formati
