Abstract
Materials combining bio-based resource and degradability aspects such as polylactide (PLA) can represent a sustainable alternative to commercially used oil-based plastics. With tin octanoate (Sn(Oct)2) as the catalyst of choice for industrial scale PLA production, traces of the toxic heavy metal can be released into the environment, rendering PLA unsuitable for specific applications. Herein we present four new homoleptic zinc Schiff base...
