    Abstract A series of bimetallic Salen aluminum (III) complexes with different steric substituents were synthesized. These complexes were used as catalysts to produce polylactide in the ring-opening polymerization of racemic lactide. A kinetic research of polymerization demonstrated that the steric substituents on the phenolate ring of the complexes had remarkable infl uence on the stereoselectivity and the polymerization activity. The highest stereoselectivity was obtained with bulky substituent on the ortho position of the salicylidene moieties. Kinetic studies using all these complexes indicated that the polymerizations were fi rst-ordered with respect to lactide monomers. All these complexes More >
