Interest in the utility of polylactide as a commodity polymer has increased significantly in recent years due to numerous environmental advantages over conventional petrochemically derived plastics. As such, the development of novel catalyst systems for the ring opening polymerization of lactide has seen tremendous progress in the past decade. In particular, divalent metals (i.e. Mg, Ca and Zn) supported by monoanionic ancillary scaffolds are appealing because of their low toxicity and cost. A much less common approach involves the use of neutral ligands in combination with the aforementioned divalent metal centres. The additional valence thus renders it possible, upon reaction with traditional Lewis or Bronsted acid activators, to generate sterically and electronically unsaturated species, akin to the most widely employed olefin polymerization catalysts. This Perspective is not intended as a comprehensive review, but rather a systematic highlight of key contributions, which have served to extend the forefront of this exciting field.
