Successful room temperature ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of e-caprolactone and d-valerolactone has been carried out using SmX 2 (X = I, Br, and cyclopentadienyl (Cp)) catalysts. SmI 2 in the presence of metallic Sm was found to have enhanced reactivity as room temperature ROP initiator for lact

## Abstract Two methods to synthesize homoleptic guanidinate lanthanide complex are described. The samarium guanidinate complex [Sm{Ph~2~NC(NCy)~2~}~3~]·2C~7~H~8~ (1) can be synthesized by the metathesis reaction of lithium guanidinate with anhydrous samarium trichloride in a 3:1 molar ratio. The a
## Abstract A series of pentavalent tantalum and niobium complexes with aryloxy ligands was prepared, and their catalytic behavior for the ROMP of norbornene was studied in the presence of an alkylaluminum cocatalyst. Tantalum complexes **1**–**4** showed very high activity for the ROMP of NBE in c
Lithium chloride was found to be an effective and biocompatible catalyst for the ring-opening polymerization of lactide in the presence of hydroxyl-containing compounds. Ethylene glycol (EG) and methyl ␣-D-glucopyranoside (MGlc) were used as multifunctional initiators. The polymerization was carried
A germyl-bridged lanthanocene chloride, Me 2 Ge( t Bu-C 5 H 3 ) 2 LnCl (Ln ¼ Nd; (Cat-Nd), was prepared and successfully used as single catalyst to initiate the ringopening polymerization of e-caprolactone (e-CL) for the first time. Under mild conditions (60 C,[e-CL]/[Ln] ¼ 200, 4 h), Cat-Nd efficie
