Copolymerization of ε-Caprolactone and l-Lactide Catalyzed by Multinuclear Aluminum Complexes: An Immortal Approach
Abstract
A series of aluminum complexes L a Al 2 Me 4 ( 1 ), L b 2 Al 4 Me 4 ( 2 ), and L c Al 2 Me 4 ( 3 ) have been prepared from the reaction of AlMe 3 with Salan- and Salen-type ligands (L a H 2 = [2-OH-3,5- t Bu 2 -C 6 H 2 CH 2 N(CH 3 )] 2 -( m -phenylene); L b H 4 = [2-OH-3,5- t Bu 2 -C 6 H 2 CH 2 NH] 2 -( m -phenylene); L c H 2 = [2-OH-3,5- t Bu 2 -C 6 H 2 CH═N] 2 -( m -phenylene)), respectively. All these complexes were characterized by NMR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and elemental analyses, with complexes 1 and 3 adopting binuclear structures, while complex 2 being tetranuclear. In the presence of alcohol, the binuclear complexes 1 and 3 catalyzed controlled ring-opening homopolymerizations of both ε-CL and l -LA. In the copolymerization experiments, complexes 1 and 2 produced tapered copolymers of ε-CL and l -LA, while complex 3 was able to provide ε-CL- co - l -LA with tendentially random structure indicated by the average lengths of the caproyl and lactidyl sequences ( L CL = 1.4; L LA = 2.6). Particularly, addition of excess alcohol into the catalytic system of complex 3 established the first “immortal” copolymerization of ε-CL/ l -LA, which accelerated the polymerization rates of both monomers and, thus, afforded random copolymers with predictable molecular weights and narrow molecular weight distributions.

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.
