Abstract
Cobalt(II) and copper(II) complexes supported by 4-(quinolin-2-ylmethyl)morpholine (L) were characterized, and their reactivity toward the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of rac-lactide (rac-LA) was studied. The use of [LMCl2]/LiOiPr and [LMCl2]/LiMe (M = Co, Cu) resulted in over 95% conversion within 10 min at 25 °C. The effect of the initiating group and geometry of the metal complexes steered the heterotactic enchainment of the resultant polylactide(PLA). The Co(II)/LiMe system represents the first example of the ROP of rac-LA with high heterotactic enchainment (Pr = 0.92) with 98% conversion at 0 °C.
期刊介绍:
The Bulletin of the Korean Chemical Society is an official research journal of the Korean Chemical Society. It was founded in 1980 and reaches out to the chemical community worldwide. It is strictly peer-reviewed and welcomes Accounts, Communications, Articles, and Notes written in English. The scope of the journal covers all major areas of chemistry: analytical chemistry, electrochemistry, industrial chemistry, inorganic chemistry, life-science chemistry, macromolecular chemistry, organic synthesis, non-synthetic organic chemistry, physical chemistry, and materials chemistry.
