Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) have served as promising alternatives to traditional petroleum-based plastics. Chemical synthesis of stereoregular PHAs via stereocontrolled ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of racemic β-lactones was a desired strategy with a formidable challenge. Herein, we developed a class of DiMeBiPh-salen yttrium complexes that adopted a cis-α configuration for stereoselective ROP of rac-β-butyrolactones (rac-BBL) and rac-β-valerolactone (rac-BVL). Notably, catalyst Y5 promoted robust polymerization with TOF up to 104 h-1 and furnished syndiotactic P3HB, P3HV, and P(3HB)-co-P(3HV) copolymers with Pr values of up to 0.95. Varying the compositions in P(3HB)-co-P(3HV) copolymers offered an intriguing opportunity to fine tune the thermal properties. Our kinetic study supported a polymeryl exchange mechanism. This work demonstrated that the DiMeBiPh-salen system could serve as a new catalytic framework for the stereoselective ROP of β-lactones, which leverages the catalyst design for stereoselective polymerization.
