Herein, steric hindrance porphyrin ligand was used to enhance the PPC selectivity. Typically, a bulky anthracene-like group was incorporated into the porphyrin ring to form 5,10,15,20-tetra（1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-octahydro-1,4：5,8-dimethanoanthracen-9-yl）porphyrin, the aluminum porphyrin complex with this ligand, in combination with bis（triphenylphosphine）iminium chloride as a co-catalyst, produced completely alternate PPC. Additionally, the obtained PPC showed high regioselectivity, with a head-to-tail linkage content（HT） of 92%. Therefore, we demonstrated that introduction of bulky steric ligand into the porphyrin ring could reduce the propylene oxide homopolymerization activity leading to excellent PPC selectivity, and improve regioselectivity for the PO ring-opening during the copolymerization.展开更多

Here we report that a temperature controllable porphyrin aluminum catalyst using 5,10,15,20-tetra（1,2,3,4,5,6, 7,8-octahydro-1,4：5,8-dimethanoanthracen-g-yl）porphyrin as ligand, once in conjunction with suitable onium salt, achieved single cycloaddition or co- polymerization reaction. Only cydoaddition reaction happened at temperature above 75 ℃ to produce 100% CPC, whereas copolymerization became dominant to afford PPC with selectivity over 99% at 25℃, and the obtained PPC showed over 99% carbonate linkage and 92% head-to-tail structure. Based on systematic analysis of the electronic and steric feature in the porphyrin ligand, it was found that the electronic feature of the substituent in porphyrin ligand was decisive for PPC selectivity, porphyrin ligand bearing strong electron-donating substituents displayed a significantly reduced toler- ance towards increased temperature with respect to PPC formation. Therefore, temperature-responsive catalyst could be designed by suitable modifica- tion in porphyrin ligand, and such accurate synthesis of target product by one catalyst may create a useful and facile platform for selective PPC or CPC production.展开更多
