All complexes have been fully characterized by elemental analyses, single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, and IR and multi-nuclear NMR spectroscopy(in the cases of 1, 4 and 5). Study of their catalytic behavior revealed that, in general, all complexes are efficient initiators for the polymerization of rac-lactide(LA) and rac-β-butyrolactone(BBL), except for 3 and 4 in the case of BBL. The influence imposed by lanthanides of different ionic radii and initiating groups of different structures on the activity, controllability, and stereoselectivity of polymerization were systematically studied and compared. Highly heterotactic PLA(Pr up to 0.99) and syndiotactic PHB(Pr ≈ 0.81) with high molecular weight and narrow polydispersity formed and were automatically capped with hydroxyl functionality at both ends.展开更多

The catalytic activity, polymerization characteristics, polymerization kinetics and the mechanism were studied. It was found that the catalytic activity of rare earth aryloxides is influenced by both the structure and the number of alkyl groups on the phenyl ring. The stronger the electron-donation ability of the alkyl group, the higher the catalytic activity will be. An increase in the number of the substitute group will result in a higher catalytic activity. Lanthanum tris(2,4,6-tri-tert-butylphenolate) [La(OTTBP)3] exhibits the highest activity among all lanthanum aryloxides. According to the ^1H-NMR data, it was proposed that the LLA polymerization proceeded via a coordination-insertion mechanism involving cleavage of acyl-oxygen bond of the laetide.展开更多
