Synthesis of bis(oxazoline)-based rare-earth metal complexes and their catalytic performance in the polymerization of isoprene and polar ortho-methoxystyrene

A series of bis(oxazoline) rare-earth metal dialkyl complexes [(L)Ln(CH2SiMe3)2(THF)n] (L = L1 (dimethyl-substituted bis(oxazoline) ligand), Ln = Y (1-Y), Lu (1-Lu), Sc (1-Sc), n = 1; L = L2 (phenyl-substituted bis(oxazoline) ligand), Ln = Y (2-Y), Lu (2-Lu), Sc (2-Sc), n = 2) was successfully prepared. NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction indicated that all the complexes ligated with a C2 symmetric bis(oxazoline) and two trimethylsilylmethyl ligands. In the presence of borate and triisobutyl aluminium, these complexes exhibited high catalytic activity for the polymerization of isoprene, yielding the polymer with high cis-1,4-regularity (up to 99.9%) and high molecular weight. Moreover, these ternary catalytic systems also served as efficient initiators for the polymerization of polar ortho-methoxystyrene. However, atactic polymers in all the cases were isolated despite the C2 symmetric geometry of bis(oxazoline) ligands.
