Biodegradable polymers have become increasingly important in the search for environmentally friendly materials. Recently, we reported the synthesis of LLA-CHO block copolymers by (salfan)Zr(OtBu)2. The application of HMBC, NOESY, DOSY, TGA, and DSC to identifying copolymeric microstructure will be discussed, as well as current efforts towards mechanism elucidation.
