Disclosed is a process for preparing a polyester or copolymer containing ester functionalities. The process can comprise:
providing an optionally substituted lactone having a ring size of from 6 to 40 carbon atoms; and
subjecting said lactone to metal mediated ring-opening polymerization using as catalyst a compound according to general formula (I):
wherein
M can be Al, Cr, Mn and Co;
X and X′ are independently a heteroatom;
Y and Y′ can be, independently, selected from O, N, S, P, C, Si, and B;
Z can be selected from hydrogen, borohydrides, aluminum hydrides, carbyls, silyls, hydroxide, alkoxides, aryloxides, carboxylates, carbonates, carbamates, amidos, thiolates, phosphides, and halides;
L
1
and L
2
can be independently an organic ligand linking X and Y together and linking X′ and Y′ together, respectively; and
L
3
is an optional organic ligand linking Y and Y′ together.
