Ring-opening polymerisation of rac-lactide mediated by cationic zinc complexes featuring P-stereogenic bisphosphinimine ligands.

چکیده
The diastereomerically pure P-stereogenic bis(phosphinimine) ligands 4,6-(ArN[double bond, length as m-dash]PMePh)(2)dbf [Ar = 4-isopropylphenyl (Pipp): rac-4, meso-4; Ar = 2,6-diisopropylphenyl (Dipp): rac-4a; dbf = dibenzofuran] were synthesised and complexed to zinc using a protonation-alkane elimination strategy. The cationic alkylzinc complexes thus obtained, RZn[4,6-(ArN[double bond, length as m-dash]PMePh)(2)dbf][B(Ar')(4)] [Ar = Pipp, Ar' = C(6)H(3)(CF(3))(2): rac-6 (R = Et), meso-6 (R = Et), rac-7 (R = Me) meso-7 (R = Me); Ar = Dipp: rac-6a (R = Et, Ar' = C(6)H(3)(CF(3))(2)), rac-6b (R = Et, Ar' = C(6)F(5))] were investigated for their competency as initiators for the ring-opening polymerisation of rac-lactide. The formation of polylactide was achieved under relatively mild conditions (40 °C, 2-4 h) and the microstructures of the resulting polymers exhibited a slight heterotactic bias [polymer tacticity (P(r)) = 0.51-0.63].

Cationic and charge-neutral calcium tetrahydroborate complexes and their use in the controlled ring-opening polymerisation of rac-lactide.
The first cationic main group tetrahydroborate complexes are reported. [Ca(BH(4))(THF)(5)][BPh(4)] and the charge neutral (Tp((t)Bu,Me))Ca(BH(4))(THF) are initiators for the living ring opening polymerization of rac-lactide, the latter producing PLA with high levels of heterotactic enrichment. These represent a new class of ROP initiators for main group metals.

In this paper we report the first use of Al(III) salalen complexes for the ring opening polymerisation of rac-lactide. Polylactides with narrow polydispersities (PDIs range from 1.04-1.65) and moderate degrees of stereoselectivity were formed. Eight salalen Al(III) complexes have been prepared and fully characterised by solution-state NMR spectroscopy and, where appropriate, single crystal X-ra...
متن کاملNew Challenge for Classics: Neutral Zinc Complexes Stabilised by 2,2’-Bipyridine and 1,10-Phenanthroline and Their Application in the Ring-Opening Polymerisation of Lactide
The zinc acetato and triflato complexes of 2,2’-bipyridine and 1,10-phenanthroline were prepared and completely characterised. The whole series (including the already described dichlorido complexes and the ligands themselves) were screened for their catalytic activity in the solvent free ring-opening polymerisation of D,L-lactide. The acetato and triflato complexes were found to be active initi...

A series of group 4 amine tris(phenolate) complexes have been prepared and characterised by single crystal X-ray diffraction and multinuclear NMR spectroscopy. It was found that the ligands afforded monomeric titanium complexes and dimeric zirconium structures in the solid-state. The complexes have been tested for the ring-opening polymerisation of rac-lactide under both solution and melt condi...
