Abstract

Tridentate Schiff base calcium derivatives have been prepared and shown to be very effective catalysts for ring-opening polymerization of both lactides and trimethylene carbonate to produce high molecular weight polymers with narrow polydispersity. Optimization of the calcium catalyst was achieved changing the imine backbone, initiator, and substituent on the phenolate ring of the calcium complex. Turnover frequencies were obtained up to 1124 h −1 for a melt polymerization of l -lactide carried out at 110 °C. Solution studies in CDCl 3 demonstrated the polymerization reaction is first order in [monomer] and [catalyst], with k = 19.9 M −1 h −1 for lactide polymerization and k = 500.0 M −1 h −1 for trimethylene carbonate polymerization at ambient temperature. The activation parameters for the ring-opening polymerization of l -lactide using catalyst 1a were determined to be Δ H ⧧ = 73.5 ± 3.8 kJ/mol and Δ S ⧧ = −42.5 ± 12.6 J/(mol K), and catalyst 1a was shown to produce heterotactic polylactide from rac -lactide with a Pr value of 0.73. It was also found that the ring-opening polymerization of trimethylene carbonate is a lower energy process than that of lactide polymerization as revealed by its activation parameters, which were determined to be Δ H ⧧ = 37.9 ± 3.1 kJ/mol and Δ S ⧧ = −135.1 ± 11.4 J/(mol K). Furthermore, this class of catalysts afforded from biocompatible metals is very effective at producing diblock copolymer from trimethylene carbonate and lactides. Kinetic studies of the copolymerization of trimethylene carbonate and l -lactide are presented as a function of the feed ratio of the two cyclic monomers.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
