A zirconium complex supported by a ferrocene-derived Schiff base, (salfan)Zr(O<sup>t</sup>Bu)<sub>2</sub>, has been synthesized and shows robust activity toward polymerizations of cyclic esters like cyclohexene oxide and L-lactide. This redox switchable zirconium complex was used in co-polymerization reactions and the thermal properties of the synthesized block co-polymers are examined.
