An aniline-bridged bis(pyrazolyl)alkane ligand for dizinc-catalysed ring-opening polymerization

Abstract

We report an aniline ligand (1) with two bis(pyrazolyl)alkane arms, and its cationic, dizinc complexes. XRD, NMR, and modelling of the dizinc complexes resulted in an unprecedented, dynamic μ-anilide core. Compared with published μ-phenolate analogues, our μ-anilide complexes show higher activity and divergent counterion trends in ring-opening polymerization of rac-lactide.
