Stereoselective polymerization of methyl methacrylate and rac-lactide mediated by iminomethylpyridine based Cu(ii) complexes.

ABSTRACT: Iminomethylpyridine based copper(ii) complexes [L_nCuCl₂] (L_n = L_A, L_C-L_F) and [L_BCu(μ-Cl)Cl]₂ have been synthesized and characterized. [L_CCuCl₂] and [L_ECuCl₂] were identified to possess distorted square pyramidal geometries obtained via N,N'-bidentate coordination, whereas [L_FCuCl₂] showed N,N',N''-coordination of the corresponding ligand (L_F). [L_BCu(μ-Cl)Cl]₂ was found to be dimeric with a distorted square pyramidal geometry around the Cu(ii) center. The catalytic properties of dimethyl derivatives, generated in situ, towards the ring opening polymerization (ROP)
