Exploitation of dinuclear salan aluminum complexes for versatile copolymerization of ε-caprolactone and l-lactide

By combining the influence of excess alcohol, temperature and monomer-to-initiator ratios in the feed, dinuclear salan aluminum complexes LRAl2Me4 exhibited a high degree of control towards the copolymerization of l-LA and ε-CL, producing blocky, gradient, tapered and random copolymers.

SALALEN LIGANDS AND ORGANOMETALLIC COMPLEXES

Use of homogeneous catalytic systems which include as a pre-catalyst a complex of a Group IV metal and a salalen ligand in the polymerization of alpha-olefins, is disclosed. The alpha-olefin polymers obtained are characterized by controlled levels of tacticity. Also disclosed are novel salalen ligands and novel complexes thereof with Group IV metals.
