Iso-Selective Ring-Opening Polymerization of <i>rac</i>-Lactide Catalyzed by Crown Ether Complexes of Sodium and Potassium Naphthalenolates
Abstract
Two crown ether complexes of sodium and potassium naphthalenolates were synthesized and entirely characterized. The two complexes can iso-selectively catalyze the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of <i>rac</i>-lactide at room temperature and afford polylactides with desired molecular weights and narrow PDIs; the best isotacticity (<i>P</i><sub>m</sub>) achieved was 0.73- Text
