Synthesis and Characterization of N,N,O-Tridentate Aminophenolate Zinc Complexes and Their Catalysis in the Ring-Opening Polymerization of Lactides

Synthesis and Characterization of N,N,O-Tridentate Aminophenolate Zinc Complexes and Their Catalysis in the Ring-Opening Polymerization of Lactides

A series of aminophenolate ligands with various pendant groups and associated ethyl Zn complexes were synthesized and studied as catalysts for the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of lactides (LAs). The thiophenylmethyl group (L4ZnEt) increased the catalytic activity more than the benzyl group (L1Z...
