Bis(pyrrolidene) Schiff Base Aluminum Complexes as Isoselective-Biased Initiators for the Controlled Ring-Opening Polymerization of rac-Lactide: Experimental and Theoretical Studies
摘要:
A series of bis(pyrrolidene) Schiff base aluminum complexes (1-7) were synthesized and characterized by NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. All complexes were efficient initiators for the ring-opening polymerizations of L-LA and rac-LA in toluene at 70 degrees C. Kinetic studies revealed first-order kinetics in monomer and the rates of L-LA and rac-LA polymerizations decreased in the order of 1,2-benzylene (4) >> 1,3-propylene (2) > 2,2-dimethy1-1,3-propylene (3) > 1,4-butylene (5) > rac-1,2-cyclohexylene (7) > 1,2-ethylene (1) >> 1,2-phenylene (6). Microstructure analyses of the resulting polylactides by homonuclear decoupled H-1 NMR spectroscopy disclosed the isotactic-biased stereocontrol of all synthesized complexes, except 5. Isotactic stereoblock polylactide with a high Pm value of 0.80 was produced by 3. A systematic DFT study on the rac-lactide ring-opening mechanism initiated by the initiators synthesized in this study revealed the correlation between the structure of backbone linker and the polymerization activity and stereoselectivity.

A series of cobalt(III) complexes with a new unsymmetrical tetradentate Schiff base ligand N,N'-bis(pyrrol-2-ylmethylene)-2-aminobenzylamine. H(2)pyrabza, formed by the condensation of 2-pyrrole carboxaldehyde and 2-aminobenzylamine, has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, IR, UV-Vis and H-1 NMR spectroscopy. These complexes have the general formula trans-[Co-III(L)(amine)(2)]X L2- = pyrabza, and amine = N-methylimidazole (N-Melm) (1), 3-methylpyridine (3-Mepy) (2), 4-methylpyridine (4-Mepy) (3), pyridine (py) (4), X = BPh4-}. The structure of compound 1 has been determined by X-ray crystallography. The geometry around the central cobalt ion is distorted octahedral. The electrochemical behavior of these complexes was also investigated. The reduction potential of Co(III), ranging from -0.79 V for 1 to -0.44 V for 4, shows a relatively good correlation with the sigma-donor ability of the axial ligands. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
