Abstract
ConspectusThe introduction of circular principles in chemical manufacturing will drastically change the way everyday plastics are produced, thereby affecting several aspects of the respective value chains in terms of raw feedstock, recyclability, and cost. The ultimate aim is to ensure a paradigm shift toward plastic-based (consumer) materials that overall can offer a more attractive and sustainable carbon footprint, which is an important requisite from a societal, political, and eventually economical point of view. To realize this important milestone, it is vitally important to control the polymerization processes associated with the creation of novel sustainable materials. In this respect, we realized that expanding the portfolio of biomass-derived monomers may indeed create an impetus for atom circularity; however, the often sterically congested nature of biomass-derived monomers minimizes the ability of previously developed catalysts to activate and transform these precursors. Our motivation was thus spurred by an apparent lack of catalysts suitable for addressing the conversion of such biomonomers, as we realized the potential that new catalytic processes could have to advance and contribute to the development of sustainable materials produced from polycarbonates and polyesters. These two classes of polymers represent crucial ingredients of important and large-scale consumer products and are therefore ideal fits for implementing new catalytic protocols that enable a gradual transition to plastic materials with an improved carbon footprint.When we started our research expedition, the field was dominated by metal catalysts that incorporated preferred, and in some cases even privileged, ligand backbones (such as salens) able to mediate both ring-opening and ring-opening copolymerization manifolds. One major drawback of these aforementioned catalysts is their rather rigid nature, a feature that reduces their ability to act as adaptive systems, especially in cases where bulky monomers are involved. While our initial focus was on the utilization of sustainable metal salen complexes (M = Zn, Fe) for the activation of small cyclic ethers, which are privileged monomers for polyester and polycarbonate production, we were rapidly confronted with severe limitations related to their inability to activate a wider range of complex epoxides and oxetanes, which was imparted by the planar coordination geometry of the salen ligand in most of its applied metal complexes. In our quest to find a catalytically more effective metal complex with the ability to electronically and sterically tune its substrate-binding and substrate-activation potential, we identified aminotriphenolates as structurally versatile, easily accessible, and scalable ligands for various earth-abundant metal cations. Moreover, the ligand backbone allows for switchable coordination environments around the metal centers, thus offering the necessary adaptation in substrate activation events.This Account describes how Al(III)- and Fe(III)-centered aminotriphenolates have conquered a prominent position as catalyst components in the synthesis of new biobased polyester and polycarbonate architectures, thereby changing the landscape of previously difficult to convert biomonomers, and expanding the chemical space of biobased functional polymers. With the ever-increasing influence of legislation and the restrictions placed on the use of fossil-fuel-based feedstock, the polymer industry needs viable alternatives to design materials that are greener, cost-effective, and allow for the exploration and optimization of their recycling and properties.

Abstract
A new carboxylate rich asymmetric tripodal ligand, N-[2-carboxybenzomethyl]-N-[carboxymethyl]-β-alanine (H3camb), and its di-copper(II), (NH4)2[1]2, and di-zinc(II), ((CH3)4N)2[2]2, complexes have been synthesized as carbohydrate binding models in aqueous solutions. The ligand and complexes have been fully characterized using several techniques, including single crystal X-ray diffraction. The interactions of (NH4)2[1]2 and ((CH3)4N)2[2]2 with D-glucose, D-mannose, D-xylose and xylitol in aqueous alkaline media were investigated using UV-Vis and (13)C-NMR spectroscopic techniques, respectively. The molar conductance, NMR and ESI-MS studies indicate that the complexes dissociate in solution to produce the respective complex anions, 1(-) and 2(-). Complexes 1(-) and 2(-) showed chelating ability towards the naturally abundant and biologically relevant sugars, D-glucose, D-mannose, D-xylose, and xylitol. The complex ions bind to one molar equivalent of the sugars, even in the presence of stoichiometric excess of the substrates, in solution. Experimentally obtained spectroscopic data and computational results suggest that the substrates bind to the metal center in a bidentate fashion. Apparent binding constant values, pK(app), between the complexes and the substrates were determined and a specific mode of substrate binding is proposed. The pK(app) and relativistic density functional theory (DFT) calculated Gibbs free energy values indicate that D-mannose displayed the strongest interaction with the complexes. Syntheses, characterizations, detailed substrate binding studies using spectroscopic techniques, single crystal X-ray diffraction and geometry optimizations of the complex-substrates with DFT calculations are also reported.
