Phenoxyamidine Zn and Al Complexes: Synthesis, Characterization, and Use in the Ring-Opening Polymerization of Lactide
2019
International audience; Herein we report the synthesis of new ditopic ligands, which consist of a phenoxy group and N,N,N'trisubstituted amidines linked by a methylene spacer (L1-L4). Their coordination chemistry has been studied/investigated with Zn(II) and Al(III). Alkane elimination route between the phenol-amidine proligands (L1H-L4H) and Et2Zn led to dinuclear complexes [(L1-L4)ZnEt]2 (1a-4a) in which the Zn centers are chelated by phenoxyamidine ligands and bridged through the oxygen atom of the phenoxy groups. Salt metathesis reaction between two equivalents of the sodium amidine phenate L1Na and ZnCl2 led to a bis-chelate chiral spiro-complex (L12Zn) 1a'. Analogous alkane eliminatio…
Impact of Organoaluminum Compounds on Phenoxyimine Ligands in Coordinative Olefin Polymerization. A Theoretical Study
2013
The reduction of the phenoxyimine moiety in three individual species—namely free ligand, aluminum complex, and titanium complex—with aluminum alkyls and aluminum hydride has been studied by means of DFT. It was demonstrated that the free phenoxyimine ligand in an equimolar mixture with trimethylaluminum does not undergo reduction. Instead, experimentally observed formation of the six-membered cyclic aluminum–phenoxyimine complex, useful in the ring-opening polymerization of lactones, takes place as the kinetically and thermodynamically favored process. However, it is anticipated that a 2-fold excess of the aluminum compound, especially aluminum hydride, acting on the resulting cyclic comple…
