摘要
The second polyhydridoniobocene complex that was characterized by X-ray diffraction is reported. On the basis of H-H distances and H-Nb-H angles, [Nb(eta(5)-C5H4SiMe3)(2)(H)(3)] (1) is classified as a "compressed hydride". Compound 1 acts as an efficient single-component initiator for the ring-opening polymerization of epsilon-caprolactone and delta-valerolactone. epsilon-Caprolactone and delta-valerolactone are both polymerized within a few hours to yield high-to-medium-molecular-weight polymers with medium to broad polydispersities. Polymer end-group analysis showed that the polymerization proceeds through a coordination-insertion mechanism based on the cleavage of the ring between the oxygen atom and the acyl carbon atom.
