Frustrated growth : Al(C 6 F 5 ) 3 ‐based classical and frustrated Lewis pairs with select phosphines or N‐heterocyclic carbenes exhibit exceptional activity in polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) and naturally renewable methylene butyrolactones (M)MBL at ambient temperature, thereby affording high‐molecular‐weight PMMA and environmentally sustainable P(M)MBL (see scheme).
