Abstract
While outstanding catalysts are known for the ring-opening copolymerization (ROCOP) of CO2 and propene oxide (PO), few are reported at low CO2 pressure. Here, a new series of Co(III)M(I) heterodinuclear catalysts are compared. The Co(III)K(I) complex shows the best activity (TOF = 1728 h-1) and selectivity (>90% polymer, >99% CO2) and is highly effective at low pressures (<10 bar). CO2 insertion is a prerate determining chemical equilibrium step. At low pressures, the concentration of the active catalyst depends on CO2 pressure; above 12 bar, its concentration is saturated, and rates are independent of pressure, allowing the equilibrium constant to be quantified for the first time (Keq = 1.27 M-1). A unified rate law, applicable under all operating conditions, is presented. As proof of potential, published data for leading literature catalysts are reinterpreted and the CO2 equilibrium constants estimated, showing that this unified rate law applies to other systems.

Abstract
A set of mononuclear cobalt(III) octahedral complexes {[Co(LH)(acac)] (Co-1H), [Co(LBr)(acac)] (Co-1Br), and [Co(LNO2)(acac)] (Co-1NO2)} were synthesized using new-generation N/O donors, maleonitrile-tethered, tetradentate heteroscorpionate half-reduced Schiff base ligands, 2-((E)-2-hydroxybenzylideneamino)-3-(pyridin-2-ylmethylamino)maleonitrile (H2LH), 2-((E)-(5-bromo-2-hydroxybenzylidene)amino)-3-((pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amino)maleonitrile (H2LBr), and 2-((E)-2-hydroxy-5-nitrobenzylideneamino)-3-(pyridin-2-ylmethylamino)maleonitrile (H2LNO2). All the compounds were well characterized spectroscopically and structurally. The non-covalent interactions present in the lattice of Co-complexes were studied in detail to explain the molecular architecture using the Hirshfeld surface (HS) analysis. The catalytic activity of CO2 fixation towards epoxides under mild and solvent-free conditions was demonstrated. The synthesized complexes are catalysts that are well-active towards the CO2 activation under ambient conditions, whereas most of the reported catalysts require harsh conditions.

Abstract
We report the selective double ring-opening polymerization of presequenced spiroorthoester monomers to form high-molecular-weight (≈90 kDa) poly(ether-alt-ester)s with a simple cationic alkyl gallium catalyst. The selective formation of double ring-opened polymer units was confirmed by NMR and IR spectroscopies. Thermal and rheological properties of homo- and copolymers were further characterized by differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, and stress-controlled rotational rheometry. Linear viscoelastic moduli show that these systems are well entangled (plateau modulus), thereby possessing nearly terminal relaxation at long time scales (low frequencies) and Rouse segmental dynamics at short time scales (high frequencies) with characteristic slopes. These are the highest-molecular-weight poly(ether-alt-ester)s reported to date.

Abstract
The use of multimetallic complexes is a rapidly advancing route to enhance catalyst performance in the ring-opening polymerization of cyclic esters and ethers. Multimetallic catalysts often outperform their monometallic analogues in terms of reactivity and/or polymerization control, and these improvements are typically attributed to "multimetallic cooperativity". Yet the origins of multimetallic cooperativity often remain unclear. This review explores the key factors underpinning multimetallic cooperativity, including metal-metal distances, the flexibility, electronics and conformation of the ligand framework, and the coordination environment of the metal centers. Emerging trends are discussed to provide insights into why cooperativity occurs and how to harness cooperativity for the development of highly efficient multimetallic catalysts.

Abstract
The utilization of hexadentate imidazole-derived diamine-bisphenolate ligands to construct structurally well-defined bimetallic nickel catalysts that enable the mediation of the copolymerization of carbon dioxide with alicyclic epoxides was reported for the first time. A series of dinickel carboxylate/nitrophenolate complexes were facilely prepared through a one-pot procedure and their structures were fully determined by single crystal X-ray structural analysis. Dinickel complexes 1-10 were used as single-component catalysts, and were evaluated for the copolymerization of CO2 and cyclohexene oxide (CHO), for which acetato-incorporated complex 1 was proved to exhibit the best activity. Not only has the controllability of binickel catalyst 1 for CO2/CHO copolymerization been demonstrated, but also an "immortal" character for the same polymerization has been realized. Furthermore, detailed kinetic studies of polymerization catalysis of this type were undertaken, and the kinetics results revealed a first-order dependence on both Ni complex 1 and CHO concentrations. This is a successful example of the introduction of the easily accessible nitrogen-heterocycle group, the imidazole moiety, into phenolate ligands for the development of high-performance homogeneous catalysts towards the bimetallic complex-catalyzed copolymerization of CO2 and epoxides.

Abstract
Among numerous catalysts in the ring-opening copolymerization of epoxides with carbon dioxide (CO2), zinc dicarboxylate complexes are the most common type, and in the family of metal-based homogeneous catalysts, zinc and magnesium complexes have attracted widespread attention. We report on the synthesis and structural characterization of a zinc-magnesium benzoate framework templated by the central hydroxide anion with μ3-κ2:κ2:κ2 coordination mode, [ZnMg2(μ3-OH)(O2CPh)5]n (n = 1 or 2). The resulting heterometallic system forms stable Lewis acid-base adducts with tetrahydrofuran (THF) and cyclohexene oxide (CHO), which crystallize as the hexanuclear zinc-magnesium hydroxide carboxylate cluster [ZnMg2(μ3-OH)(O2CPh)5(L)2]2 (L = THF or CHO). Their X-ray crystal structure analysis revealed that the Zn center prefers 4-fold coordination and the Mg centers demonstrated the ability to accommodate higher coordination numbers, and as a result, the heterocyclic molecules are exclusively bonded to 6-fold Mg atoms. The heteronuclear carboxylate aggregates appeared active in the copolymerization reaction at elevated temperatures to produce an alternating poly(cyclohexene carbonate).

Abstract
The successful architecture of active catalytic species with enhanced efficiencies is critical for the optimal exploitation of sustainable resources in industrially demanded processes. In this work, we describe the preparation of novel helical heterobimetallic Al/Mg-based complexes of the type [AlMe2(pbpamd-)MgR{κ1-O-(OC4H8O)}] [R = Et (1a), tBu (2a)] as potential catalysts. The design was performed through the sequential addition of the Al fragment to the ligand, followed by the Mg platform, resulting in a planar π-C2N2(sp2)-Al/Mg bridging core between metals. The new heterobimetallic species have been unambiguously characterized by single-crystal X-ray analysis. NOESY, DOSY, and EXSY NMR studies as well as density functional theory calculations corroborate both a rearrangement in solution to scorpionate complexes containing an unprecedented apical carbanion with a direct σ-C(sp3)-Al covalent bond named [{Mg(R)(pbpamd-) Al(Me)2}] [R = Et (1b), tBu (2b)] and an interconversion equilibrium between both isomers. We verified their utility and high efficiency as catalysts in the well-controlled ring-opening polymerization of the biorenewable l- and rac-lactide (LA) at 23 °C, reaching a remarkable turnover frequency value close to 25000 h-1 for rac-LA at this temperature and exerting a significant level of heteroselectivity (Pr = 0.80). Very interestingly, the kinetics demonstrate apparent first-order with respect to the catalyst and LA, which supports a synergic intramolecular cooperation between centers with electronic modulation among them.

Abstract
Carbon dioxide copolymerization is a front-runner CO2 utilization strategy but its viability depends on improving the catalysis. So far, catalyst structure-performance correlations have not been straightforward, limiting the ability to predict how to improve both catalytic activity and selectivity. Here, a simple measure of a catalyst ground-state parameter, metal reduction potential, directly correlates with both polymerization activity and selectivity. It is applied to compare performances of 6 new heterodinuclear Co(III)K(I) catalysts for propene oxide (PO)/CO2 ring opening copolymerization (ROCOP) producing poly(propene carbonate) (PPC). The best catalyst shows an excellent turnover frequency of 389 h-1 and high PPC selectivity of >99 % (50 °C, 20 bar, 0.025 mol% catalyst). As demonstration of its utility, neither DFT calculations nor ligand Hammett parameter analyses are viable predictors. It is proposed that the cobalt redox potential informs upon the active site electron density with a more electron rich cobalt centre showing better performances. The method may be widely applicable and is recommended to guide future catalyst discovery for other (co)polymerizations and carbon dioxide utilizations.

Abstract
A series of group 6 heterobimetallic complexes [M0;IrIII] (M = Cr, Mo, W) were synthesized and fully characterized, and the catalytic behavior was studied. The heterobimetallic complex [Mo0;IrIII] (C1) was by far the most active and has shown a considerable synergistic effect, with both metals actively participating in homogeneous carbon dioxide hydrogenation, leading to formate salts. Based on theoretical calculations, the synergistic interaction is due to Pauli repulsion, lowering the transition state and thus enabling higher catalytic activity. The mechanism of both the hydrogenation itself and the synergistic interaction was studied by NMR spectroscopy, kinetic measurements, and theoretical calculations. The homogeneous nature of the reaction was proven using in situ high-pressure (HP) NMR experiments. The same experiments also showed that the octahedral Mo(CO)3P3 moiety of the complex is stable under the reaction conditions. The hydride complex is the resting state because the hydride transfer is the rate-determining step. This is supported by kinetic measurements, in situ HP NMR experiments, and theoretical calculations and is in contrast to the monometallic IrIII counterpart of C1.

Abstract
We found that a cationic hetero tetranuclear complex including a calcium and three cobalts exhibited high catalytic activity toward alternating copolymerization of propylene oxide (PO) and carbon dioxide (CO2). The tertiary anilinium salt [PhNMe2H][B(C6F5)4] was the best additive to generate the cationic species while maintaining polymer selectivity and carbonate linkage, even under 1.0 MPa CO2. Density functional theory calculations clarified that the reaction pathway mediated by the cationic complex is more favorable than that mediated by the neutral complex by 1.0 kcal mol-1. We further found that the flexible ligand exchange between Ca and Co ions is important for the alternating copolymerization to proceed smoothly.

Abstract
Ring-opening copolymerization reactions of epoxides, carbon dioxide and cyclic esters to produce copolymers is a promising strategy to prepare CO2-based polymeric materials. In this contribution, bimetallic chloride indium complexes have been developed as catalysts for the copolymerization processes of cyclohexene oxide, carbon dioxide and L-lactide under mild reaction conditions. The catalysts displayed good catalytic activity and excellent selectivity towards the preparation of poly(cyclohexene carbonate) (PCHC) at one bar CO2 pressure in the absence of a co-catalyst. Additionally, polyester-polycarbonate copolymers poly(lactide-co-cyclohexene carbonate) (PLA-co-PCHC) were obtained via an one-pot one-step route without the use of a co-catalyst. The degree of incorporation of carbon dioxide can be easily modulated by changing the CO2 pressure and the monomer feed, resulting in copolymers with different thermal properties.

Abstract
Two heterobimetallic Mo,M’ complexes (M’ = IrIII, RhIII) were synthesized and fully characterized. Their catalytic activity in homogeneous carbon dioxide hydrogenation to formate was studied. A pronounced synergistic effect between the two metals was found, most notably between Mo and Ir, leading to a fourfold increase in activity compared with a binary mixture of the two monometallic counterparts. This synergism can be attributed to spatial proximity of the two metals rather than electronic interactions. To further understand the nature of this interaction, the mechanism of the CO2 hydrogenation to formate by a monometallic IrIII catalyst was studied using computational and spectroscopic methods. The resting state of the reaction was found to be the metal-base adduct, whereas the rate-determining step is the inner-sphere hydride transfer to CO2. Based on these findings, the synergism in the heterobimetallic complex is beneficial in this key step, most likely by further activating the CO2.

Abstract
A series of Ni complexes supported by SNO Schiff-base derivatives were synthesized in this study. Complex synthesis and characterization data are reported herein. Treatment of the pro-ligands [L1-H = 2-(((2-(methylthio)ethyl)imino)methyl)phenol, L2-H = 2,4-di-tert-butyl-6-(((2-(methylthio)ethyl)imino)methyl)phenol, L3-H = 2-(((2-(methylthio)ethyl)imino)methyl)-4,6-bis(2-phenylpropan-2-yl)phenol, L4-H = 4-bromo-2-(((2-(methylthio)ethyl)imino)methyl)phenol, and L5-H = 4-chloro-2-(((2-(methylthio)ethyl)imino)methyl)phenol] with Ni(OAc)2·4H2O in refluxing ethanol afforded six-coordinate mono-Ni(II) complexes [L2nNi] (n = 1-5). Noteworthy, a heptanuclear nickel(II) octacarboxylate species complex 6 and dinuclear nickel complex 6a resulted from treatment of L6-H [4-fluoro-2-(((2-(methylthio)ethyl)imino)methyl)phenol] with different metal precursors [Ni(OAc)2·4H2O for 6; NiBr2 for 6a] giving a quantitative yield. The reaction of nickel acetate tetrahydrate and L7-H to L9-H [L7-H = 2-methoxy-6-(((2-(methylthio)ethyl)imino)methyl)phenol, L8-H = 5-methoxy-2-(((2-(methylthio)ethyl)imino)methyl)phenol, and L9-H = 4-methoxy-2-(((2-(methylthio)ethyl)imino)methyl)phenol] produced the four-coordinate complexes [L2nNi] (n = 7-9). The highest performing catalyst was complex 3, which was highly efficient for the ring-opening copolymerization of phthalic anhydride (PA) and cyclohexene oxide (CHO) in the presence of a cocatalyst (4-dimethylaminopyridine). In addition, the same copolymerization conditions produced narrowly dispersed polyesters, with high selectivity and polymerization control. In addition to PA-CHO copolymerization, efficient diglycolic anhydride-PA and PA-propene oxide copolymerization was achieved under the same conditions. These catalysts are straightforward to produce and extend the scope of potential substrates.

Abstract
Herein, CuS was incorporated with ZnS to form a novel nanocomposite via cation exchange, and the product was then employed for dual application of the colorimetric determination and photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline (TC) in water. The formed p-n heterojunction provided an improved gap width and electron mobility, which could rapidly catalyze H2O2 to produce plenty of •OH, supporting a color conversion with TMB. Meanwhile, the addition of TC could lead to the further enhancement in colorimetric signal, and the distinction level was sensitive to the target amount. Additionally, under light conditions, the p-CuS/n-ZnS could produce •O2-, •OH, and h+ through photocatalysis, and these ions could degrade the TC via oxidation. In the colorimetric determination of TC, the signal responses were obtained within 10 min, and the detection limit was 20.94 nM. The recovery rates were 99% and 106% for the water samples from Ganjiang river. In the photocatalytic degradation, the TC was degraded by 91% within 120 min, which was threefold that of ZnS. Meanwhile, the morphology feature of the p-CuS/n-ZnS remained after multiple uses, suggesting a favorable material stability. This strategy provides application prospects for the monitoring and control of antibiotics in water.

Abstract
With sustainability at the forefront of current polymerisation research, the typically earth-abundant, inexpensive and low-toxicity main group metals are attractive candidates for catalysis. Main group metals have been exploited in a broad range of polymerisations, ranging from classical alkene polymerisation to the synthesis of new bio-derived and degradable polyesters and polycarbonates via ring-opening polymerisation and ring-opening copolymerisation. This tutorial review highlights efficient polymerisation catalysts based on Group 1, Group 2, Zn and Group 13 metals. Key mechanistic pathways and catalyst developments are discussed, including tailored ligand design, heterometallic cooperativity, bicomponent systems and careful selection of the polymerisation conditions, all of which can be used to fine-tune the metal Lewis acidity and the metal-alkyl bond polarity.

Abstract
We reported for the first time the utilization of hexadentate benzothiazole-based diamine-bisphenolate ligands to synthesize structurally well-characterized dinickel dicarboxylate complexes and studied their catalysis for copolymerization of carbon dioxide with epoxides. Dinickel carboxylate complexes having a 1,3-diamine-bridged backbone were demonstrated to be high-performance catalysts for alternating copolymerization of CO2 and cyclohexene oxide (CHO) with high product selectivity. Particularly, acetate-supported nickel complex 2 enabled us to promote such CO2-copolymerization of this kind with a maximum turnover frequency of up to 2600 h-1 and gave good molecular weight controllability under high-pressure conditions. It is worth noting that bimetallic Ni catalyst 2 was also capable of mediating the catalytic CO2-polymerization of alicyclic epoxides at atmospheric pressure. Kinetic investigations of CO2/CHO copolymerization by 2 allowed us to determine the rate equation of -d[CHO]/dt = kp[2]1[CHO]1, and such catalysis exhibited a first-order dependence on both dinickel complex and CHO concentrations.

Abstract
An acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling of primary alcohols to carboxylic acids/carboxylates, esters, and Guerbet alcohols (via both homo- and cross-β-alkylation of the alcohols) in the presence of an N-heterocyclic carbene iridium(I) catalyst was developed under aerobic conditions. The product selectivity can be easily tuned among the products with a single catalyst through simple modification of the reaction conditions, such as the catalyst and base amounts, the choice of base, and the reaction temperature.

Abstract
![]()
The development of sustainable
plastic materials is an essential
target of chemistry in the 21st century. Key objectives toward this
goal include utilizing sustainable monomers and the development of
polymers that can be chemically recycled/degraded. Polycarbonates
synthesized from the ring-opening copolymerization (ROCOP) of epoxides
and CO2, and polyesters synthesized from the ROCOP of epoxides
and anhydrides, meet these criteria. Despite this, designing efficient
catalysts for these processes remains challenging. Typical issues
include the requirement for high catalyst loading; low catalytic activities
in comparison with other commercialized polymerizations; and the requirement
of costly, toxic cocatalysts. The development of efficient catalysts
for both types of ROCOP is highly desirable. This Account details
our work on the development of catalysts for these two related polymerizations
and, in particular, focuses on dinuclear complexes, which are typically
applied without any cocatalyst. We have developed mechanistic hypotheses
in tandem with our catalysts, and throughout the Account, we describe
the kinetic, computational, and structure–activity studies
that underpin the performance of these catalysts. Our initial research
on homodinuclear M(II)M(II) complexes for cyclohexene oxide (CHO)/CO2 ROCOP provided data to support a chain shuttling catalytic
mechanism, which implied different roles for the two metals in the
catalysis. This mechanistic hypothesis inspired the development of
mixed-metal, heterodinuclear catalysts. The first of this class of
catalysts was a heterodinuclear Zn(II)Mg(II) complex, which showed
higher rates than either of the homodinuclear [Zn(II)Zn(II) and Mg(II)Mg(II)]
analogues for CHO/CO2 ROCOP. Expanding on this finding,
we subsequently developed a Co(II)Mg(II) complex that showed field
leading rates for CHO/CO2 ROCOP and allowed for unique
insight into the role of the two metals in this complex, where it
was established that the Mg(II) center reduced transition state entropy
and the Co(II) center reduced transition state enthalpy. Following
these discoveries, we subsequently developed a range of heterodinuclear
M(III)M(I) catalysts that were capable of catalyzing a broad range
of copolymerizations, including the ring-opening copolymerization
of CHO/CO2, propylene oxide (PO)/CO2, and CHO/phthalic
anhydride (PA). Catalysts featuring Co(III)K(I) and Al(III)K(I) were
found to be exceptionally effective for PO/CO2 and CHO/PA
ROCOP, respectively. Such M(III)M(I) complexes operate through a dinuclear
metalate mechanism, where the M(III) binds and activates monomers
while the M(I) species binds the polymer change in close proximity
to allow for insertion into the activated monomer. Our research illustrates
how careful catalyst design can yield highly efficient systems and
how the development of mechanistic understanding aids this process.
Avenues of future research are also discussed, including the applicability
of these heterodinuclear catalysts in the synthesis of sustainable
materials.

Abstract
A series of Nd-Zn heterometallic complexes bearing o-phenylenediamine-bridged tris(phenolato) ligands (L) were synthesized and characterized. By tuning the backbones of ancillary tris(phenolato) ligands and initiating benzyloxy groups, a Nd-Zn heterometallic complex 12 (ClLNdZnOBnCF3) was found to be highly active for the copolymerization of CO2 and cyclohexene oxide (CHO) to produce perfect alternating poly(cyclohexene carbonate) with a high turnover frequency up to 5640 h-1 under the polymerization of 90 °C and 20 bar CO2 pressure. The kinetics study showed that CO2/CHO copolymerization catalyzed by 12 was the first order dependence of 12 and CHO concentration and the zero-order dependence of CO2 pressure. The reaction of 12 with CO2 generated a carbonate-coordinated [NdZnNd] trinuclear complex 13, which was believed to be the key intermediate to initiate CO2/CHO copolymerization. On the basis of some experiments, a plausible synergistic polymerization mechanism was proposed.

Abstract
The catalysed ring opening copolymerizations (ROCOP) of carbon dioxide/epoxide or anhydride/epoxide are controlled polymerizations that access useful polycarbonates and polyesters. Here, a systematic investigation of a series of heterodinuclear Mg(II)M(II) complexes reveals which metal combinations are most effective. The complexes combine different first row transition metals (M(II)) from Cr(II) to Zn(II), with Mg(II); all complexes are coordinated by the same macrocyclic ancillary ligand and by two acetate co-ligands. The complex syntheses and characterization data, as well as the polymerization data, for both carbon dioxide/cyclohexene oxide (CHO) and endo-norbornene anhydride (NA)/cyclohexene oxide, are reported. The fastest catalyst for both polymerizations is Mg(II)Co(II) which shows propagation rate constants (kp ) of 34.7 mM-1 s-1 (CO2 ) and 75.3 mM-1 s-1 (NA) (100 °C). The Mg(II)Fe(II) catalyst also shows excellent performances with equivalent rates for CO2 /CHO ROCOP (kp =34.7 mM-1 s-1 ) and may be preferable in terms of metallic abundance, low cost and low toxicity. Polymerization kinetics analyses reveal that the two lead catalysts show overall second order rate laws, with zeroth order dependencies in CO2 or anhydride concentrations and first order dependencies in both catalyst and epoxide concentrations. Compared to the homodinuclear Mg(II)Mg(II) complex, nearly all the transition metal heterodinuclear complexes show synergic rate enhancements whilst maintaining high selectivity and polymerization control. These findings are relevant to the future design and optimization of copolymerization catalysts and should stimulate broader investigations of synergic heterodinuclear main group/transition metal catalysts.

Abstract
Heteroatom-containing polymers have strong potential as sustainable replacements for petrochemicals, show controllable monomer-polymer equilibria and properties spanning plastics, elastomers, fibres, resins, foams, coatings, adhesives, and self-assembled nanostructures. Their current and future applications span packaging, house-hold goods, clothing, automotive components, electronics, optical materials, sensors, and medical products. An interesting route to these polymers is the catalysed ring-opening copolymerisation (ROCOP) of heterocycles and heteroallenes. It is a living polymerization, occurs with high atom economy, and creates precise, new polymer structures inaccessible by traditional methods. In the last decade there has been a renaissance in research and increasing examples of commercial products made using ROCOP. It is better known in the production of polycarbonates and polyesters, but is also a powerful route to make N-, S-, and other heteroatom-containing polymers, including polyamides, polycarbamates, and polythioesters. This Review presents an overview of the different catalysts, monomer combinations, and polymer classes that can be accessed by heterocycle/heteroallene ROCOP.

Abstract
We report the alternating copolymerization of caprolactone and epoxide through the in situ formation of pre-sequenced spiroorthoester monomer. The reaction is catalyzed by the temperature triggered, bifunctional cationic indium complex (±)-[(NNiOtBu)In(CH2SiMe3)][B(C6F5)4] (1). 1 can catalyze the coupling of epoxide and lactone to form spiroorthoester at 60 °C and its double ring-opening polymerization at 110 °C to form poly(ether-alt-ester). The post-polymerization modification and degradation of the poly(ether-alt-ester) are further investigated. We report the alternating copolymerization of caprolactone and epoxide through the in situ formation of pre-sequenced spiroorthoester monomer.![]()

Abstract
There is an ever-increasing demand for higher-performing polymeric materials counterbalanced by the need for sustainability throughout the life cycle. Copolymers comprising ester, carbonate, or ether linkages could fulfill some of this demand as their monomer-polymer chemistry is closer to equilibrium, facilitating (bio)degradation and recycling; many monomers are or could be sourced from renewables or waste. Here, an efficient and broadly applicable route to make such copolymers is discussed, a form of switchable polymerization catalysis which exploits a single catalyst, switched between different catalytic cycles, to prepare block sequence selective copolymers from monomer mixtures. This perspective presents the principles of this catalysis, catalyst design criteria, the selectivity and structural copolymer characterization tools, and the properties of the resulting copolymers. Uses as thermoplastic elastomers, toughened plastics, adhesives, and self-assembled nanostructures, and for programmed degradation, among others, are discussed. The state-of-the-art research into both catalysis and products, as well as future challenges and directions, are presented.

Abstract
A challenge in polymer synthesis using CO2 is to precisely control CO2 placement in the backbone and chain end groups. Here, a new catalyst class delivers unusual selectivity and is self-switched between different polymerization cycles to construct specific sequences and desirable chain-end chemistries. The best catalyst is a trinuclear dizinc(II)sodium(I) complex and it functions without additives or co-catalysts. It shows excellent rates across different ring-opening (co)polymerization catalytic cycles and allows precise control of CO2 incorporation within polyesters and polyethers, thereby allowing access to new polymer chemistries without requiring esoteric monomers, multi-reactor processes or complex post-polymerization procedures. The structures, kinetics and mechanisms of the catalysts are investigated, providing evidence for intermediate speciation and uncovering the factors governing structure and composition and thereby guiding future catalyst design.

Abstract
Truly sustainable plastics require renewable feedstocks coupled with efficient production and end-of-life degradation/recycling processes. Some of the most useful degradable materials are aliphatic polyesters, polycarbonates and polyamides, which are often prepared via ring-opening (co)polymerisation (RO(CO)P) using an organometallic catalyst. While there has been extensive research into ligand development, heterometallic cooperativity offers an equally promising yet underexplored strategy to improve catalyst performance, as heterometallic catalysts often exhibit significant activity and selectivity enhancements compared to their homometallic counterparts. This review describes advances in heterometallic RO(CO)P catalyst design, highlighting the overarching structure-activity trends and reactivity patterns to inform future catalyst design.

Abstract
The biomedical applications of polyesters and polycarbonates are of interest due to their potential biocompatibility and biodegradability. Confined by the narrow scope of monomers and the lack of controlled polymerization routes, the biomedical-related applications of polyesters and polycarbonates remain challenging. To address this challenge, ring-opening copolymerization (ROCOP) has been exploited to prepare new alternating polyesters and polycarbonates, which would be hard to synthesize using other controlled polymerization methods. This review highlights recent advances in catalyst development, including the emerging dinuclear organometallic complexes and metal-free Lewis pair systems. The post-polymerization modification methods involved in tailoring the biomedical functions of resultant polyesters and polycarbonates are summarized. Pioneering attempts for the biomedical applications of ROCOP polyesters and polycarbonates are presented, and the future opportunities and challenges are also highlighted.

Abstract
Cluster complexes have attracted interest for decades due to their promise of drawing analogies to metallic surfaces and metalloenzyme active sites, but only recently have chemists started to develop ligand scaffolds that are specifically designed to support multinuclear transition metal cores. Such ligands not only hold multiple metal centers in close proximity but also allow for fine-tuning of their electronic structures and surrounding steric environments. This Feature Article highlights ligand designs that allow for cooperative small molecule activation at cluster complexes, with a particular focus on complexes that contain metal-metal bonds. Two useful ligand-design elements have emerged from this work: a degree of geometric flexibility, which allows for novel small molecule activation modes, and the use of redox-active ligands to provide electronic flexibility to the cluster core. The authors have incorporated these factors into a unique class of dinucleating macrocycles (nPDI2). Redox-active fragments in nPDI2 mimic the weak-overlap covalent bonding that is characteristic of M-M interactions, and aliphatic linkers in the ligand backbone provide geometric flexibility, allowing for interconversion between a range of geometries as the dinuclear core responds to the requirements of various small molecule substrates. The union of these design elements appears to be a powerful combination for analogizing critical aspects of heterogeneous and metalloenzyme catalysts.
