Abstract

A series of diallyl-modified (salen)MnIII complexes have been designed, synthesized, and applied in the cyclohexene oxide and maleic anhydride ring-opening copolymerization. The experimental results show that these complexes are effective in the presence of co-catalyst 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine (DMAP). Of all the five catalysts, the catalyst (salcyen)MnCl (salcyen = 2-((E)-(2-((E)-5-allyl-2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzylideneamino)cyclohexylimino)methyl)-4-allyl-6-methoxyphenol) exhibited the best catalytic performance under the conditions applied, and the cyclohexane of diimine bridge is conjugated with the two diallyl-salen-type moieties. This conjugation can increase the electron density of the centre MnIII cation so that catalyst (salcyen)MnCl favours the formation of reaction intermediates. Moreover, the anion effect of Cl is proved to be the best in the catalytic performances. Among the three co-catalysts (DMAP, triphenylphosphine (Ph3P), and tetra-n-butylammonium bromide (n-Bu4NBr)) tested, DMAP is the most efficient towards monomer conversion and polymer chain growth.
