Synthesis, structure and ROP capability of a tetra(amidine)bis(zirconium) calix[8]arene complex
The tetra(amidine)bis(zirconium) calix[8]arene complex {Zr[NHC(Me)NMe 2 ] 2 } 2 , formed via acetonitrile insertion into Zr–N bonds, is an active catalyst for the ring opening polymerization (ROP) of the cyclic esters ε-caprolactone and δ-valerolactone.
