[{"status":"public","abstract":[{"lang":"eng","text":"Abstract Polylactide is a biodegradable versatile material based on annually renewable resources and thus CO2-neutral in its lifecycle. Until now, tin(II)octanoate [Sn(Oct2)] was used as catalyst for the industrial ring-opening polymerization of lactide in spite of its cytotoxicity. On the way towards a sustainable catalyst, three iron(II) hybrid guanidine complexes were investigated concerning their molecular structure and applied to the ring-opening polymerization of lactide. The complexes could polymerize unpurified technical-grade rac-lactide as well as recrystallized l-lactide to long-chain polylactide in bulk with monomer/initiator ratios of more than 5000:1 in a controlled manner following the coordination–insertion mechanism. For the first time, a biocompatible complex has surpassed Sn(Oct)2 in its polymerization activity under industrially relevant conditions."}],"publication":"ChemSusChem","type":"journal_article","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"keyword":["bioplastics","guanidines","iron","lactide","ring-opening polymerization"],"user_id":"40778","_id":"13185","project":[{"name":"Computing Resources Provided by the Paderborn Center for Parallel Computing","_id":"52"}],"page":"2161-2165","intvolume":"        12","citation":{"apa":"Rittinghaus, R.
