After years of influence of titanium-based Ziegler-Natta catalysts on "petropolymers" synthesis, titanium complexes are experiencing a resurgence in research efforts as sustainable catalysts for biopolymer synthesis. This review article summarizes the different classes of well-defined homogeneous and heterogeneous titanium catalysts supported by various multidentate ancillary ligands for the synthesis of polyesters, polycarbonates and poly(methyl metacrylate) derivatives which are biodegradable and/or synthesized from renewable monomers. Special attention is given to the relationships between the electronic and steric effects of catalysts governing the activity, control and stereoselectivity whenever applicable.
