Multinuclear alkylaluminium macrocyclic Schiff base complexes: Influence of procatalyst structure on the ring opening polymerisation of ε-caprolactone (2008)
Journal Article
Arbaoui, A., Redshaw, C., & Hughes, D. L. (2008). Multinuclear alkylaluminium macrocyclic Schiff base complexes: Influence of procatalyst structure on the ring opening polymerisation of ε-caprolactone. Chemical communications : Chem comm / the Royal Society of Chemistry, 4717-4719. https://doi.org/10.1039/b810417d

Two remote dialkylaluminium centres supported by a macrocyclic Schiff base ligand exhibited beneficial cooperative effects, whilst aluminoxane-type bonding proved to be detrimental to activity for the ring opening polymerisation of ε-caprolactone.
