Synthesis and characterization of novel dinuclear magnesium, zinc and aluminum complexes supported by bis(iminopyrrolide) ligands and their catalysis toward the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of ε-caprolactone (ε-CL) and rac-lactide (rac-LA) were carried out. The ligand precursors [(5-Bu(t)-2-C4H2NH)CH=N(CH2)2]2NH (H2L(Bu), 1) and [(2-C4H3NH)CH=N(CH2)2]2NH (H2L(H), 2) were prepared by condensation of diethylene triamine with 5-tert-butyl-1H-pyrrole-2-carbaldehyde and 1H-pyrrole-2-carbaldehyde, respectively. Treatment of 1 with 2 equiv. of Bu(n)MgOBn in toluene at 70 °C produced dinuclear magnesium complex [(μ-OBn)2Mg2L(Bu)] (3). Similar treatment of 1 with EtZnOBn generated [(μ-OBn)2Zn2L(Bu)] (4). Reaction of 2 with 2 equiv. of Me2AlOBn in toluene at 70 °C afforded aluminum complex [Me2Al(μ-OBn)2AlL(H)] (5). Complexes 3-5 were characterized by (1)H and (13)C NMR spectroscopy, elemental analyses, and single crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. Each of complexes 3-5 is active for the ROP of ε-CL and rac-LA. Kinetic studies of the polymerization reactions were performed.
开展了由双(亚氨基吡咯啉)配体支撑的新型双核镁、锌和铝配合物的合成与表征,以及它们对ε-己内酯(ε-CL)和外消旋丙交酯(rac-LA)的开环聚合(ROP)的催化作用。配体前体[(5-Bu(t)-2-C4H2NH)CH=N(CH2)2]2NH(H2L(Bu),1)和[(2-C4H3NH)CH=N(CH2)2]2NH(H2L(H),2)分别通过二亚乙基三胺与5-叔丁基-1H-吡咯-2-甲醛和1H-吡咯-2-甲醛缩合制备。在70℃下,将1与2当量的正丁基镁苄醇盐在甲苯中处理,得到双核镁配合物[(μ-OBn)2Mg2L(Bu)](3)。用乙基锌苄醇盐对1进行类似处理,生成[(μ-OBn)2Zn2L(Bu)](
