Four aluminum, zinc, and aluminum/zinc heterometallic complexes stabilized by o-phenylenediamine bridged poly (phenolato) ligands were synthesized and investigated for their catalytic behavior in the ring-opening polymerization of cyclohexene oxide. Heterometallic complex 4 showed significantly enhanced activity.
Four aluminum, zinc, and aluminum/zinc heterometallic complexes 1-4 stabilized by o-phenylenediamine bridged poly (phenolato) ligands were synthesized and characterized. It was found that the reaction sequence has significant influence on the formation of the Al-Zn heterometallic complex (AlZnLMe)-Me-1 (4), which was prepared through successive complexation of poly (phenol) with ZnEt2 and AlMe3. The catalytic behaviors of complexes 1-4 for the ring-opening polymerization of cyclohexene oxide (CHO) were investigated, and the heterometallic complex 4 showed significantly enhanced activity (TOF up to 410 min(-1)). Kinetic study was conducted; the activation energy (E-a) for formation of PCHO using 4 was determined to be 58.0 +/- 6.5 kJ mol(-1).
