Heterometallic cooperativity in divalent metal ProPhenol catalysts: combining zinc with magnesium or calcium for cyclic ester ring-opening polymerisation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The first heterobimetallic lactide ROP catalysts based on two divalent metals outperform the homobimetallic analogues, attributed to increased Lewis acidity of Mg or Ca (monomer coordination) and enhanced polarity Zn–Et/OR (propagation).

Zinc and magnesium complexes supported by bulky multidentate amino-ether phenolate ligands: potent pre-catalysts for the immortal ring-opening polymerisation of cyclic esters.
A family of heteroleptic complexes of zinc and magnesium supported by bulky multidentate amino-ether phenolate ligands has been developed; in combination with external chain transfer agents, they constitute efficient binary catalytic systems for the immortal ring-opening polymerisation of cyclic esters.
متن کاملTriarylsulfonium hexafluorophosphate salts as photoactivated acidic catalysts for ring-opening polymerisation.
Triarylsulfonium hexafluorophosphate salts were shown to be effective catalysts for the ring-opening polymerisation of various cyclic monomers under UV irradiation. A dual basic/acidic catalytic system demonstrated the potential for UV-triggered formation of poly(δ-valerolactone)-b-poly(L-lactide)-b-poly(δ-valerolactone) in a 'one-pot' reaction.
متن کاملHeterogeneous catalysts for the controlled ring-opening polymerisation of rac-lactide and homogeneous silsesquioxane model complexes.
In this communication we report, for the first time, the ring-opening polymerisation in the melt of rac-lactide with heterogeneous catalysts. Homogeneous model systems based on silsesquioxanes have been prepared for comparison.
متن کاملMechanistic studies on the ring-opening polymerisation of D,L-lactide with zinc guanidine complexes
The increasing shortage of resources has enforced the search for production techniques for biodegradable polymers made of renewable raw materials. An example is polylactide (PLA), an aliphatic polyester, which can be obtained by the metal-catalysed ring-opening polymerisation (ROP) of lactide (Fig. 1). The monomer for PLA production is available from corn or sugar beets by a bacterial fermentat...
متن کاملZwitterionic bis(phenolate)amine lanthanide complexes for the ring-opening polymerisation of cyclic esters.
The reaction of Sm{N(SiMe3)2}3 with the bis(phenol)amines H2O2N(R) (H2O2N(R) = RCH2CH2N(2-HO-3,5-C6H2(t)Bu2)2; R = OMe, NMe2 or Me) gave exclusively zwitterions Sm(O2N(R))(HO2N(R)). For R = OMe or NMe2 these were efficient catalysts for the ring-opening polymerisation of epsilon-caprolactone and D,L-lactide with a tendency to form cyclic esters; in contrast, no polymerisation was observed for R...
