## Abstract Diphenylzinc, alone or in combination with water and butanone as coinitiators, was used as a polymerization initiator system for a variety of lactones at varying temperatures. The resulting data indicate that the course of the polymerization is greatly influenced by the lactone structur
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
