A series of titanium trichloride complexes 1a-4a, 7a-10a ligated with claw-type tetradentate aminophenolate ligands were synthesized from the direct reaction of TiCl4(THF)2 with 1 equiv. of the corresponding aminophenol in the presence of triethylamine. For comparison purposes, titanium isopropoxide complexes 5e-8e were also synthesized via the reaction of Ti(OiPr)4 and 1 equiv. of the proligand. Similar reactions of ZrCl4(THF)2 with the corresponding aminophenol ligands in the presence of triethylamine only allowed the isolation of zirconium complex 8b. The X-ray diffraction studies reveal that titanium trichloride complexes 2a, 9a and titanium triisopropoxide complex 5e all possess a distorted octahedral geometry with the tetradentate aminophenolate ligand in cis-O, N, N chelating mode, where the methoxy group of the aryl unit does not coordinate with the metal center in the solid state. Upon activation with MMAO, these titanium and zirconium(iv) complexes exhibited moderate to high catalytic activities for ethylene polymerization at 30-120 °C, producing high-molecular-weight polyethylenes with broad distributions (M w/Mn = 10.2-34.8). The activities of titanium trichloride complexes are significantly higher than those of titanium isopropoxide and zirconium trichloride complexes at high temperatures. The highest activity of 15 456 kg (mol-Ti h)-1 could be achieved by titanium trichloride complex 8a with bromo groups on both ortho- and para-positions of the phenolate ring of the ligand at 120 °C. This journal is the Partner Organisations 2014.

Monomeric zinc silylamido and ethyl complexes bearing tetradentate aminophenolato ligands [(DNNO)ZnR] (D = NMe2, OMe; R = N(SiMe 3)2 (1-5, 8), Et (6, 7, 9, 10)), were isolated from the reaction of Zn[N(SiMe3)2]2 or ZnEt2 and one equivalent of aminophenols {aryl-CH2N[(CH2) 2NMe2]CH2-phenol} in moderate to high yields. The monomeric nature of these complexes was further confirmed by X-ray diffraction studies of silylamido complexes 1, 3 and ethyl complexes 7, 9, 10. The methoxy or N,N-dimethylamino group of the aryl unit does not coordinate with the metal center in the solid state, only the remaining three donors of the ligand and silylamido or ethyl group interact with zinc center constructing a distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry at the metal center. All these zinc complexes efficiently initiated the ring-opening polymerization of rac-lactide, and the polymerization runs were better controlled in the presence of isopropanol, giving atactic PLAs end-capped with isopropyl ester and hydroxyl groups. The structure of the ancillary ligands showed some influence on the catalytic activity and selectivity of the corresponding zinc complexes. The introduction of bulky ortho-substituents on the phenoxy unit resulted in a decrease of the polymerization rate, whereas the isotactic dyad selectivity in the ROP of rac-lactide was enhanced.
