摘要
A family of bis(iso-propoxide) titanium(IV) complexes supported by tetradentate Schiff base ( salen) ligands has been synthesised and characterised, including a structural determination of N,N'-bis(6'-methylenimino-2',4'-di-tert-butylphenoxy)cyclohexyl-(1R, 2R)-diamino titanium(IV) bis(iso-propoxide). Their suitability for initiating the ring-opening polymerisation of rac-lactide has been investigated. Polymerisation activities are shown to correlate with the electronic properties of the substituents within the salen ligand. In contrast to aluminium-salen initiators, electron-withdrawing substituents on the Schiff base ligand have a detrimental influence upon polymerisation activities, whereas the use of electron-donating alkoxy-functionalised ligands has allowed the highest recorded activity to date for a titanium-based initiator.
