A comparative study on <i>nido</i>- and <i>closo</i>-carborane supported zinc-salen catalysts for the ROCOP of epoxides and anhydrides
<i>Nido</i>- and <i>closo</i>-carborane supported Zn-salen complexes (2-4) were prepared. The <i>nido</i>-C<sub>2</sub>B<sub>9</sub> carborane anion supported Zn-salen complexes are superior to the <i>closo</i>-carborane supported ones in ROCOP of epoxides and anhydrides. These findings show the importance of electronic effects in the backbone of the salen ligands and offer guidance for future catalyst design.
