Abstract
Using carbon disulfide (CS2) and carbonyl sulfide (COS) as sulfur-containing and one-carbon feedstocks to make value-added products is paramount for both pure and applied chemistry and environmental science. One of the practical strategies is to copolymerize these bulk chemicals with epoxides to produce sulfur-containing polymers. This approach contributes to improving the sustainability of polymer manufacturing, provides highly desired functional polymer materials, and has attracted much attention. However, these copolymerizations invariably exhibit the intensely complicated chemistry of O/S exchange reaction, leading to sulfur-containing polymers with diverse architectures. As the understanding of O/S exchange continues to deepen, recent efforts have guided significant advances in the synthesis of CS2- and COS-based polymers. This review examines the O/S exchange chemistry and summarizes the recent progress in this field to promote the further advance of synthesizing sulfur-containing polymers from CS2 and COS.

Abstract
The scientific community has witnessed extensive developments and applications of organoboron compounds as synthetic elements and metal-free catalysts for the construction of small molecules, macromolecules, and functional materials over the last two decades. This review highlights the achievements of organoboron-mediated polymerizations in the past several decades alongside the mechanisms underlying these transformations from the standpoint of the polymerization mode. Emphasis is placed on free radical polymerization, Lewis pair polymerization, ionic (cationic and anionic) polymerization, and polyhomologation. Herein, alkylborane/O2 initiating systems mediate the radical polymerization under ambient conditions in a controlled/living manner by careful optimization of the alkylborane structure or additives; when combined with Lewis bases, the selected organoboron compounds can mediate the Lewis pair polymerization of polar monomers; the bicomponent organoboron-based Lewis pairs and bifunctional organoboron-onium catalysts catalyze ring opening (co)polymerization of cyclic monomers (with heteroallenes, such as epoxides, CO2, CO, COS, CS2, episulfides, anhydrides, and isocyanates) with well-defined structures and high reactivities; and organoboranes initiate the polyhomologation of sulfur ylides and arsonium ylides providing functional polyethylene with different topologies. The topological structures of the produced polymers via these organoboron-mediated polymerizations are also presented in this review mainly including linear polymers, block copolymers, cyclic polymers, and graft polymers. We hope the summary and understanding of how organoboron compounds mediate polymerizations can inspire chemists to apply these principles in the design of more advanced organoboron compounds, which may be beneficial for the polymer chemistry community and organometallics/organocatalysis community.

Abstract
The copolymerization of biorenewable succinic anhydride (SA) with propylene oxide (PO) is a promising way to synthesize biodegradable aliphatic polyesters. However, the catalytic systems for this reaction still deserve to be explored because the catalytic activity of the reported catalysts and the molecular weights of produced polyesters are unsatisfied. Herein, we investigate the copolymerization of SA with PO catalyzed by the organoborane/base pairs. The types of Lewis bases, organoboranes, and their loadings all have a large impact on the activity and selectivity of the copolymerization. High ester content of >99% was achieved when performed the PO/SA copolymerization using triethyl borane (TEB)/phosphazene base P1-t-Bu (t-BuP1) pair with a molar ratio of 1/1 at 30-80 °C. Using TEB/t-BuP1 pair with the molar ratio of 4/1 at 80 °C, the turnover of frequency (TOF) was up to 128 h-1 and clearly higher than the known TOF values (0.5-34 h-1) of the PO/SA copolymerization by previously reported catalysts. The number-average molecular weights (Mns) of the resultant polyesters reached up to 20.4 kg/mol when copolymerization was carried out using TEB/t-BuP1 (1/1, in molar ratio) at 30 °C.
