Abstract

A new amidoimidomalonate ligand was synthesized in a short and effective way and the zinc acetate complex thereof was prepared. XRD investigation revealed an unprecedented solid state structure, where the sedecameric complex [(lig) 2Zn 4(OAc) 4] 4 builds the edges of a square cavity. Each edge is made up by a similar unit [(lig) 2Zn 4(OAc) 4] with four zinc atoms. The complex is an active catalyst in the copolymerization of CO 2 and cyclohexene oxide and produces polyethercarbonates with broad molecular weight distributions.
