New trimetallic magnesium complexes were synthesized for bifunctional catalysis. Complex catalysed ε-caprolactone polymerizations in not only a 'living' manner but also in an 'immortal' fashion. Additionally, tri-Mg was active for the coupling of CO(2) with cyclohexene oxide (CHO) on addition of n-Bu(4)NBr co-catalysts to give cis-cyclohexene carbonate under mild conditions.
新型三金属镁配合物被合成用于双功能催化。该配合物不仅以“活性聚合”的方式,而且以“永远聚合”的方式催化ε-己内酯聚合。此外,在添加 n-Bu(4)NBr 共催化剂的条件下,三-Mg 还能与环氧化物(CHO)偶联 CO(2),在温和条件下得到顺式-环己烯碳酸酯。
