چکیده

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.

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

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, leng...

Heterogeneous 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.

Salalen aluminium complexes and their exploitation for the ring opening polymerisation of rac-lactide.

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...

Zirconium complexes of bipyrrolidine derived salan ligands for the isoselective polymerisation of rac-lactide.

Herein we report the synthesis and characterisation of a series of Zr(IV) 2,2'-bipyrrolidine-salan derived complexes and their exploitation for the ring opening polymerisation of rac-lactide to afford highly isotactically enriched polymers.

Novel Ti(IV) and Zr(IV) complexes and their application in the ring-opening polymerisation of cyclic esters.

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...
