A series of zinc complexes (1-6) supported by substituted phenalenyl ligands was synthesized by reacting the phenalenyl ligands with diethyl zinc under ethane evolution. The solid state structures of these complexes (1-6) were determined by single crystal X-ray crystallography. Furthermore, the organozinc complexes (4-6) were tested for the polymerization of cyclic esters as efficient catalysts for the ring-opening polymerization of ε-caprolactone (ε-CL) and rac-lactide (rac-LA) in the presence…

Abnormal N-heterocyclic carbene main group organometallic chemistry: a debut to the homogeneous catalysis.
TLDR
These abnormal N-heterocyclic carbene adducts were found to be quite efficient catalysts for the polymerization of cyclicesters such as rac-lactide, ε-caprolactone, and δ-valerolactone and have been used as catalyst for the synthesis of a tri-block copolymer.

TLDR
A number of the metallocalix[n]arene complexes employed in either α-olefin polymerization or in the ring opening polymerization of cyclic esters over the last 5 years only exhibit activity under robust conditions, whereas other systems demonstrate exceptional activity, immortal behaviour and intriguing stereoselectivity.

TLDR
The selective 1,2‐addition of diethylzinc to the ketone functionality of BMdiPhIK [bis(1‐methyl‐4,5‐diphenylimidazolyl)ketone] is shown, which can serve as a model for reactive intermediates in the catalytic alkylation of ketones with diorganozinc reagents.

Synthetic and Structural Studies of Ethyl Zinc β-Amidoenoates and β-Ketoiminates
TLDR
The thermal properties of complex 3 are explored via thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), which shows that 3 has a significantly lower decomposition temperature as compared to its bis-ligated counterpart [Zn(L3)2], which gives 3 promise as a single-source precursor to zinc oxide.
