Effects of alkoxide alteration on the ring-opening polymerization of ε-caprolactone initiated by n-Bu3SnOR: a DFT study

The ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of ε-caprolactone (CL) initiated by tributyltin alkoxides (n-Bu3SnOR), where R = methyl (Me), ethyl (Et), propyl (Pr), and butyl (Bu), was investigated using density functional theory at B3LYP level with mixed basis set. A coordination–insertion mechanism with t...
