Bis[μ-bis-(2,6-diiso-propyl-phen-yl) phosphato-κ2 O:O']bis-[(2,2'-bi-pyridine-κ2 N,N')lithium] toluene disolvate and its catalytic activity in ring-opening polymerization of ∊-caprolactone and l-dilactide.


ABSTRACT: The solvated centrosymmmtric title compound, [Li2(C24H34O4P)2(C10H8N2)2]·2C7H8, was formed in the reaction between {Li[(2,6-iPr2C6H3-O)2POO](MeOH)3}(MeOH) and 2,2'-bi-pyridine (bipy) in toluene. The structure has monoclinic (P21/n) symmetry at 120 K and the asymmetric unit consists of half a complex mol-ecule and one mol-ecule of toluene solvent. The diaryl phosphate ligand demonstrates a μ-κOO'-bridging coordination mode and the 2,2'-bi-pyridine ligand is chelating to the Li+ cation, generating a distorted tetra-hedral LiN2O2 coordination polyhedron. The complex exhibits a unique dimeric Li2O4P2 core. One isopropyl group is disordered over two orientations in a 0.621 (4):0.379 (4) ratio. In the crystal, weak C-H⋯O and C-H⋯π inter-actions help to consolidate the packing. Catalytic systems based on the title complex and on the closely related complex {Li[(2,6-iPr2C6H3-O)2POO](MeOH)3}(MeOH) display activity in the ring-opening polymerization of ∊-caprolactone and l-dilactide.
