Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse

Control of activity and stereoselectivity during ring-opening polymerization of lactide as the premier biorenewable monomer remains a challenge. Molecularly defined initiators systems based on earth-abundant metals were developed containing easily accessible ligand frameworks. Using an OSSO-type bis(phenolate) ligand incorporating a 1,1’-ferrocenyl backbone redox-switchability during RÒP of lactide was observed. A series of hydridotriphenylborates of group 1 and 2 as well as zinc and aluminum was shown to exhibit a remarkable high activity toward hydroboration of carbonyl substrates and toward ring-opening polymerization of lactide. As potentially active ROP initiators a new series of alkaline earth metal amides has been synthesized.
