摘要: This is a comprehensive study of the effects rationally designed hemilabile ligands on stability, reactivity, and change in catalytic behavior indium complexes. We report cationic alkyl complexes supported by family hemi-salen type bearing thiophenyl (2a), furfuryl (2b) pyridyl (2c) pendant donor arms. Shelf-life stability these followed trend 2a 2b > 2c with control polymerization following an inverse relationship to reactivity. Surprisingly, polymerized racemic lactide without external initiator, likely through alkyl-initiated coordination-insertion mechanism.
