Ring-Opening Polymerization of rac-Lactide by Bis(phenolate)amine-Supported Samarium Borohydride Complexes: An Experimental and DFT Study

The synthesis and ring-opening polymerization (ROP) capability of bis(phenolate)amine-supported samarium borohydride and amide complexes are reported, together with a DFT study. Reaction of Na2O 2NL (L = OMe, NMe2, py, or Pr) with Sm(BH 4)3(THF)3 gave the borohydride complexes Sm(O2NL)(BH4)(THF) (L...
