Abstract

A series of arylhydrogenphosphates and aryldihydrogenphosphates was synthesized and characterized using spectroscopic methods and single crystal X-ray diffraction. These compounds were assessed as catalysts towards the ring-opening polymerization and proved to be potent organocatalysts for the ring-opening polymerization of cyclic esters. The bulk polymerizations were performed in the absence of external initiator. The ...
