Abstract
AbstractA series of molecular homo and heteroleptic zinc and magnesium compounds with aminophenolate ligands [(µ,η2‐L2)ZnEt]2 (1), [(η2‐L2)Zn(µ‐BnO)]2 (2), [Zn(η2‐L2)2] (3), [Zn(η2‐L3)2] (4), [Mg(η2‐L3)2] (5) (L2‐H = N‐[methylene(2‐hydroxy‐3,5‐di‐tert‐butylphenyl)]‐N‐methyl‐N‐cyclohexylamine, L3‐H = N‐[methylene(2‐hydroxy‐3,5‐di‐tert‐butylphenyl)]‐N‐methyl‐N‐methyl‐1,3‐dioxolaneamine) have been prepared and characterized. The homoleptic complexes 3–5 are most probably a mixture of diastereoisomers that in solution show an interesting dynamics which plays an important role in their catalytic behavior. The complexes 2–5 are efficient initiators in ring‐opening polymerization (ROP) of lactides to produce polymers with desired molecular weight and narrow polydispersity.
