Mixed-magnesium/zinc calix[4]arene complexes: structure, and ring opening polymerisation studies
journal contribution
posted on 2024-01-12, 14:48 authored by Henry JS Banks, Josef Frese, Mark ElsegoodMark Elsegood, Carl RedshawDifferent combinations of organomagnesium reagents and zinc bromide react with either 1,3-dimethoxy-4-tert-butylcalix[4]areneH2 (L(OMe)2H2) or trialkoxycalix[4]arenes (L(OR)3H) (R = n-Pr, n-pentyl) to afford mixed-metal calix[4]arene systems. Intriguing molecular structures are formed and the systems are capable of the ring opening polymerisation of ε-caprolactone under N2, air, or as melts.
