Nucleophilic Zwitterionic Ring-Opening Polymerizations (ZROP) are used as an effective method to synthesize cyclic polymers. This method was widely in the polymerization of polylactide and Butyrolactone. In contrast, zwitterionic polymerizations of aziridine is unexplored. Very recently, we and others have proposed that zwitterionic polymerizations of activated aziridines can occur under certain conditions. Our efforts to understand the impact of zwitterions on the polymerizations of aziridine will be discussed.
