Abstract:
Chiral chromium complexes of tetradentate N,N'-disubstituted bis(amino-phenoxide) (designated as Salan, a saturated version of Schiff-base Salen ligand) in conjunction with an ionic quaternary ammonium salt can efficiently catalyze the copolymerization of CO(2) with racemic propylene oxide (rac-PO) at mild conditions to selectively afford completely alternating poly(propylene carbonate) (PPC) with similar to 95% head-to-tail linkages and moderate enantioselectivity. These new catalyst systems predominantly exceed the previously much-studied SalenCr(III) systems in catalytic activity, polymer enantioselectivity, and stereochemistry control. The chiral diamine backbone, sterically hindered substitute groups on the aromatic rings, and the presence of sp(3)-hydridized amino donors and its N,N'-disubstituted groups in chiral SalanCr(III) complexes all play significant roles in controlling polymer stereochemistry and enantioselectivity. Furthermore, a relationship between polycarbonate enantioselectivity and its head-to-tail linkages in relation to regioselective ring-opening of the epoxide was also discussed on the basis of stereochemical studies of PPCs derived from the copolymerization of CO(2) with chiral PO at various conditions.
