Aluminum alkyl complexes: synthesis, structure, and application in ROP of cyclic esters
Abstract
Aluminum alkyl complexes have very useful applications as catalysts or reagents in small molecule transformations and as cocatalysts in olefin polymerization. This short review focuses on some recent developments in the design, synthesis and structure of aluminum(iii) alkyl complexes supported by various ligands bearing nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur or phosphorus atoms, and their catalytic applications in the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of cyclic esters. The coordination chemistry of the Al metal centre and the catalytic activity changes of the complexes caused by ligand modifications are also discussed.

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.
