A series of amino-(type 3) as well as hydrazino-substituted quinoxalines (type 8) have been synthesized in order to study their ability to complex with iron(III) and zinc(II) ions. Cyclization of 2,3-dichloroquinoxaline (1) with a bis-amidine 9 leads to ring-fused quinoxalines of type 10. One of these compounds (10a) forms a unique macrocyclic hexameric complex 14 with zinc ions in the presence of 2,6-diisopropyl phenolate. In an analogous manner, the monomeric complexes 12 and 13 could be synthesized. All of these new zinc complexes catalyze the copolymerization of cyclohexene oxide and carbon dioxide with a high degree of selectivity in the resulting polymers.
