Four bimetallic Al or Zn complexes supported by anilido-aldimine ligands (o-C6H4(NHAr)-CH=N)2CH2CH2 (Ar = 2,6-Me2C6H3,L1H2; Ar = 2,6-iPr2C6H3, L2H2) have been synthesized and characterized. Treatment of L1H2 or L2H2 with two equiv. of AlMe3 gives bimetallic complex L1(AlMe2)2 1 or L2 (AlMe2)2 2, respectively. Reaction of L1H2 or L2H2 with two equiv. of ZnEt2 leads to bimetallic complex L1(ZnEt)2 3 or L2(ZnEt)2 4, respectively. All of the complexes 1-4 are efficient catalysts for ring-opening polymerization of epsilon-caprolactone (CL) in the presence of benzyl alcohol and catalyze the polymerization of CL in living fashion yielding polymers with a narrow polydispersity index. The activity of bimetallic Zn complexes 3 and 4 is higher than bimetallic Al complexes 1 and 2.
已合成并表征了四种由苯胺基 - 醛亚胺配体(o-C6H4(NHAr)-CH=N)2CH2CH2(Ar = 2,6-Me2C6H3,L1H2;Ar = 2,6-iPr2C6H3,L2H2)支撑的双金属铝或锌配合物。用两当量的AlMe3处理L1H2或L2H2分别得到双金属配合物L1(AlMe2)2 1或L2(AlMe2)2 2。L1H2或L2H2与两当量的ZnEt2反应分别生成双金属配合物L1(ZnEt)2 3或L2(ZnEt)2 4。在苄醇存在下,所有配合物1 - 4都是ε-己内酯(CL)开环聚合的有效催化剂,并以活性方式催化CL聚合,得到具有窄多分散指数的聚合物。双金属锌配合物3和4的活性高于双金属铝配合物1和2。
