Abstract
This review explores calixarenes, a prominent family of third-generation supramolecules celebrated for their distinct hollow, cavity-shaped structures. These macrocycles are intricately assembled by linking multiple phenolic units orthogonally through methylene (-CH2-), sulfur (-S-), or sulfonyl (-SO2-) bridges. This structural framework plays a pivotal role in the intricate assembly of nanoclusters, significantly advancing the field of cluster chemistry. A key focus of current research is the remarkable ability of calixarenes to stabilize titanium-oxo clusters. Our review details the application of calixarenes in constructing titanium-oxo cluster structures, emphasizing how these clusters, when encapsulated within calixarenes, exploit flexible coordination sites for structural modifications and serve as foundational units for more complex assemblies. Additionally, we investigate how these calixarene-stabilized metal-oxo clusters function as versatile scaffolds for catalytically active metal ions, facilitating the creation of bimetallic nanoclusters. These clusters not only exhibit unique structural diversity but also demonstrate exceptional catalytic efficiency. This review aims to inspire ongoing exploration and innovation in the use of calixarenes for the synthesis and application of advanced cluster materials.

Abstract
Titanium complexes bearing 2-(arylideneamino)phenolates and 2-((arylimino)methyl)phenolates were synthesized, and their catalytic activities in the polymerization of ε-caprolactone and L-lactide were studied. Among five-membered ring Ti complexes bearing 2-(arylideneamino)phenolates, FCl-Ti exhibited the highest level of catalytic activity ([CL] : [FCl-Ti] = 100 : 1, where [CL] = 2 M, and conv. = 86% at 60 °C after 9 h). For six-membered ring Ti complexes bearing 2-((arylimino)methyl)phenolates, SCl-Ti exhibited the highest level of catalytic activity ([CL] : [SCl-Ti] = 100 : 1, where [CL] = 2 M, and conv. = 88% at 60 °C after 118 h). The five-membered ring Ti complexes bearing 2-(arylideneamino)phenolates exhibited a higher level of catalytic activity (6.1-12.8 fold for the polymerization of ε-caprolactone and 6.2-23.0 fold for the polymerization of L-lactide) than the six-membered ring Ti complexes bearing 2-((arylimino)methyl)phenolates. The density functional theory (DFT) results revealed that the free energy of the first transition state FH-Ti-TS1 is 36.49 kcal mol-1 which is lower than that of SH-Ti-TS1 (46.58 kcal mol-1), which was ascribed to the fact that the Ti-Nim bond (2.742 Å) of FH-Ti-TS1 is longer than that of SH-Ti-TS1 (2.229 Å) and reduces the repulsion between ligands.

Abstract
At present, economic development and daily life cannot be separated from organic synthetic polymers. However, a large number of nondegradable polymers have caused serious pollution to the environment. It is necessary for sustainable development to use biodegradable materials instead of traditional polymers, but it is not yet comparable in performance and cost to the competitor it will replace. Therefore, there is a long way to go to develop effective synthesis methods. Through ring-opening polymerization, some cyclic monomers, such as ε-caprolactone or lactide, can be synthesized into biodegradable polymers, which can not only replace traditional synthetic polymers in some fields but also have applications in drug delivery, surgical consumables, human implant materials, bone materials, etc. Ring-opening polymerization is a potential candidate for solving environmental pollution. For ring-opening polymerization, catalysts are very important, among which titanium catalysts have attracted much attention because of their high efficiency, economy, and nontoxicity. In this paper, the development status of organotitanium compounds as ring-opening polymerization catalysts is reviewed, including the effects of different ligand structures on polymerization behavior and polymer structure, and its development trend is prospected. We hope that this review will be helpful for developing efficient ring-opening polymerization catalysts.

Abstract
Homometallic titanium oxo clusters (TOC) are one of the most important groups of metal oxo clusters. In a previous article, TOC structures with carboxylato and phosphonato ligands were reviewed and categorized. This work is now extended to clusters with other ligands. Comparison of the different cluster types shows how the interplay between condensation of the titanium polyhedra by means of bridging oxygen atoms and the coordination characteristics of the ligands influences the cluster structures and allows working out basic construction principles of the cluster core.

Abstract
We report an unprecedented heterometallic aluminum oxo cluster (AlOC) containing four surface-exposed CoII sites, designated as Al12Co4, protected by four t-butylcalix[4]arene (TBC[4]) molecules. The Al12Co4 nanocluster represents a significant advancement on multiple innovative fronts. First, it stands as an pioneering example of an AlIII-based metallocalixarene nanocluster. It is also the first instance of heterometallic AlOCs shielded by macrocyclic ligands. Notably, this cluster also holds the distinction of being the highest nuclearity Al-Co bimetallic nanocluster known to date. Additionally, by depositing Al12Co4 on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as a supported catalyst, we investigated its electrocatalytic performance for the oxygen evolution reaction in alkaline media. To reach a 10 mA cm-2 current density in alkaline solution, the Al12Co4@CNT electrode needs overpotential as low as 320 mV.

Abstract
Polylactide synthetic procedures have lately gained attention, possibly due to their biocompatibility and the environmental problems associated with fossil-fuel-based polymers. Polylactides can be obtained from natural sources such as cassava, corn, and sugar beet, and polylactides can be manufactured in a laboratory using a variety of processes that begin with lactic acid or lactide. One of the most effective synthetic pathways is through a Lewis acid catalyzed ring-opening polymerization of lactides to obtain a well-defined polymer. In this regard, calixarenes, because of their easy functionalization and tunable properties, have been widely considered to be a suitable 3D molecular scaffold for new metal complexes that can be used for lactide polymerization. This review summarizes the progress made in applying some metal-calixarene complexes in the ring-opening polymerization of lactide.

Abstract
The synthesis and characterization of a new octahedral Zr(IV) complex of oxygen-depleted N,O-type calixarene ligand comprising two distal-functionalized pyrazole rings have been reported. The cone shape and structure of the prepared complex were confirmed univocally by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and NMR studies. The Zr metal lies at 2.091 Å from the plane of the calixarene ring. This complex has been utilized as an efficient catalyst for the synthesis of Biginelli adducts, bis(indolyl)methanes, and coumarins. This complex (Cl2Zr-calixarene) showed superior activity for these multicomponent reactions in comparison to the corresponding Ti(IV) and Zn(II) analogues. Ferrocene-appended bis(indolyl)methane, prepared using this catalyst, was also evaluated for its anticancer activity against the A-172 cell line.

Abstract
Reaction of [LiPb(OiPr)3]2 (generated in situ) with either p-tert-butylcalix[4]areneH4 (L4H4) or p-tert-butylcalix[6]areneH6 (L6H6) resulted in the heterometallic lithium/lead complexes [Pb4Li2(L4)4H6(MeCN)3]·4.5MeCN (1·4.5MeCN) and [Pb8Li10Cl2(L6H2)3(L6)(OH)2(O)2(H2O)2(MeCN)4]·14MeCN (2·14MeCN), respectively. Use of the dimethyleneoxa-bridged p-tert-butyltetrahomodioxacalix[6]areneH6 (L6'H6) with five equivalents of [Pb(OiPr)2] afforded [Pb13(L6')3O4(iPrOH)]·11MeCN (3·11MeCN). Use of the larger p-tert-butylcalix[8]areneH8 (L8H8) with [Pb(OtBu)2] or {Pb[N(TMS)2]} (TMS = SiMe3) afforded the products [Pb12(L8)2O4]·8.7C7H8 (4·8.7C7H8) or [Pb6(SiMe3)2(L8)O2Cl2] (5), respectively. Reaction of {Pb[N(TMS)2]} (generated in situ from (Me3Si)2NH, nBuLi and PbCl2) with L6H6 afforded, after work-up (MeCN), the mixed-metal complex [Pb10Li2(L6)2(OH)Cl(O)4]·9.5MeCN (6·9.5MeCN). Reaction of distilled {Pb[N(TMS)2]} (six equivalents) with L8H8 resulted in the complex [Pb12(L8)2O4]·12MeCN (7·12MeCN). Complexes 1-7, Pb(OiPr)2 and [Pb(N(TMS)2)2] have been screened for their potential to act as pre-catalysts in the ring opening polymerization (ROP) of ε-caprolactone (ε-CL) and δ-valerolactone (δ-VL) and the copolymerization thereof. Generally, the lithiated complexes 1 and 2 exhibited better activities than the other pre-catalysts screened herein. For ε-CL and δ-VL, moderate activity at 130 °C over 24 h was observed for 1-7. In the case of the co-polymerization of ε-CL with δ-VL, 1-7, Pb(OiPr)2 and [Pb(N(TMS)2)2] afforded reasonable conversions and high molecular weight polymers. The systems 1-7, Pb(OiPr)2 and [Pb(N(TMS)2)2] also proved to be active in the ROP of the rac-lactide (r-LA); the activity trend was found to be 1 > 2 ≈ Pb(OiPr)2 ≈ [Pb(N(TMS)2)2] > 4 > 5 ≈ 6 ≈ 7 > 3.

Abstract
A variety of lithiated calix[n]arenes, for which n = 6 or 8, have been isolated, structurally characterized, and evaluated as catalysts for the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of the cyclic esters ε-caprolactone (ε-CL), δ-valerolactone (δ-VL), and rac-lactide (r-LA). In particular, interaction of p-tert-butylcalix[6]areneH6 (L6H6) with LiOtBu in THF led to the isolation of [Li14(L6H)2(CO3)2(THF)6(OH2)6]·14THF (1·14THF), the core of which has a chain of five Li2O2 diamonds. Similar use of p-tert-butylcalix[8]areneH8 (L8H8) afforded [Li10(L8)(OH)2(THF)8]·7THF (2·7THF), where the core is composed of a six-rung Li-O ladder. Use of debutylated calix[8]areneH8 (deBuL8H8) led to an elongated dimer [Li18(deBuL8)2(OtBu)2(THF)14]·4THF (3·4THF) in which the calix[8]arenes possess a wavelike conformation forming bridges to link three separate LixOy clusters (where x and y = 6, ignoring the THF donor oxygens). Interaction of L8H8 with LiOH·H2O afforded [Li4(L8H4)(OH2)4(THF)6]·5.5THF (4·5.5THF), where intramolecular H-bond interactions involving Li, O, and H construct a cage in the core of the structure with six- and eight-membered rings. Lastly, addition of Me3Al to the solution generated from L8H8 and LiOtBu led to the isolation of [(AlMe2)2Li20(L8H2)2(OH2)4(O2-)4(OH)2(NCMe)12]·10MeCN (5·10MeCN) in which Li, O, Al, and N centers build a polyhedral core. These complexes have been screened for their potential to act as precatalysts in the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of ε-CL, δ-VL, and r-LA. For the ROP of ε-CL, δ-VL, and r-LA, systems 1-4 exhibited moderate activity at 130 °C over 8 h. In the case of ROP using the mixed-metal (Li/Al) system 5, better conversions and high molecular weight polymers were achieved. In the case of the ROP of ω-pentadecalactone (ω-PDL), the systems proved to be inactive under the conditions employed herein.

Abstract
The zinc complexes 1 and 2 bearing chelating phosphorous based pincer ligands were found to catalyze the ring-opening copolymerization of L-lactide and ε-caprolactone in the melt at 110 °C to obtain a series of random copolymers in which the monomer distributions were coherent with the monomer ratio in the feed. All the obtained copolymers showed high molecular masses with monomodal and moderately narrow distributions. The thermal properties of the achieved copolymers (Tg, glass transition temperature, and Tm, melting temperature) were strongly dependent on their composition. A linear dependence of Tg with molar percentage of lactide in the copolymers was observed over a temperature range from -59 °C (pure polycaprolactone) to 55 °C (pure polylactide).

Abstract
Bio-based plastics were designed to replace single-use plastics and to cause less post-consumer environmental damage. This paper assesses the weathering of four bio-based polymers created by ring opening polymerization (ROP) promoted by a previously reported Ti-based catalyst, to detect any problems before production was scaled up. Samples were aged in seawater to identify degradation products and monitor structural changes. Surfaces evidenced degradation and a range of leaching products was observed. Aside from compounds used in the preparation of the plastics (i.e. residual monomers and benzyl alcohol), the degradation products included carboxylic acids (often found in plastic leachate), oxacyclohexadecan-2-one (potentially toxic to aquatic life) and triphenylmethane (potential carcinogen). Overall, there were fewer structural changes in the fossil fuel based polymer (PS) and in the commercially available bio-based plastic studied for comparison purposes than the lab based bio-based polymers.

Abstract
Five novel air- and moisture-stable polymetallic Ti and Zr amino acid-derived amine bis(phenolate) (ABP) complexes were synthesised and fully characterised, including X-ray crystallographic studies. The reaction of the ABP proligands with Ti or Zr alkoxides has resulted in the formation of polymetallic aggregates of different nuclearity. The steric bulk on the pendant arm of the ligand was found to play a critical role in establishing the nuclearity of the aggregated complex. Sterically, less-demanding groups, such as H or Me, facilitated the formation of tetrametallic Ti clusters, bridged by carboxylate groups, while increased steric bulk (tBu) led to the formation of binuclear μ-oxo-bridged species. The isolated complexes were employed as catalysts for the ring opening polymerisation (ROP) of rac-lactide. Overall, the Ti catalysts were all active with the smaller, bimetallic Ti aggregates exhibiting relatively faster rates. A monometallic, bis(ABP) Zr complex was found to exert remarkable ROP activity, albeit with limited control over the tacticity and molecular weight distribution of the polymer. A further oxo-bridged Zr cluster was shown to display a previously unprecedented trimetallic structure and achieved a moderate rate in the ROP of rac-lactide.

Abstract
Reaction of excess [Ti(OiPr)4] with p-tert-butyltetrahomodioxacalix[6]areneH6 (L1H6) afforded, after work-up (MeCN), the complex [Ti2(OiPr)2(MeCN)L1]·3.5MeCN (1·3.5MeCN), whilst the oxo complex [Ti4(μ3-O)2(H2O)(L1)2]·MeCN (2·MeCN) was isolated via a fortuitous synthesis involving the use of two equivalents of [Ti(OiPr)4]. Reactions of p-methyl-dimethyldiazacalix[6]areneH6 (L2H6) with [TiF4] (four equivalents), [TiCl4(THF)2] (two equivalents) or [TiBr4] (>four equivalents) resulted in the titanium-based azacalix[n]arene complexes [Ti4F14L2H2(H)2]·2.5MeCN (3·2.5MeCN), [Ti2X4(H2O)2OL2H2(H)2] (X = Cl (4·5MeCN), Br (5·4.5MeCN) and [Ti4Br12L2(H)2(MeCN)6]·7MeCN (6·7MeCN), respectively. Reaction of four equivalents of [TiF4] with L3H4 (L3H4 = p-methyl-dimethyldiazacalix[4]areneH4) afforded the product [Ti2F2(μ-F)3L3(H)2(SiF5)]·2MeCN (7·2MeCN). These complexes have been screened for their potential to act as pre-catalysts in the ring opening polymerization (ROP) of ε-caprolactone (ε-CL), δ-valerolactone (δ-VL) and rac-lactide (r-LA). Generally, the titanium complexes bearing oxacalixarene exhibited better activities than the azacalixarene-based pre-catalysts. For ε-CL, δ-VL and r-LA, moderate activity at 130 °C over 24 h was observed for 1-6. In the case of the co-polymerization of ε-CL with r-LA, 1-6 afforded reasonable conversions and high molecular weight polymers; 7 exhibited lower catalytic performance due to low solubility. None of the complexes proved to be active in the polymerization of ω-pentadecalactone (ω-PDL) under the conditions employed herein.

Abstract
Herein, we have investigated the key functions of the calix[4]arene, abbreviated as CX [1], and designed its several derivatives by substitution of the functional groups. Molecular geometry provides an intuitive understanding of the effect of functional groups on various physical properties. The addition of the N-β-ketoimine (n = 1-4) ligands has a direct effect on the stretching vibration of the H-bonding interaction. The results showed that all molecules possess absorption bands at 190 nm and in the range between 200 and 300 nm assigned to π-π* and n-π* transitions. HOMO-LUMO energy gap of the CX[4]-N-β-ketoimine, one with chemical hardness of 1.62 eV, has been found to be 3.24 eV calculated at B3LYP/6-31 + G(d) level of theory. This finding explains the good kinetic stability of this compound. The large values of electrophilicity make the current molecules as a good electrophilic species. The atom in molecule (AIM) and the reduced density gradient (RDG) analyses showed the type and the strength of the interactions taking place between Cu2+ and the β-ketoimine ligands.

Abstract
Using TiOiPr4 with a pyrazole ligand for one-pot LA polymerization improved catalytic activity compared with using TiOiPr4 only. At 60 °C, TiOiPr4 with furPz exhibited a higher catalytic activity (approximately 3-fold) than TiOiPr4. At room temperature, TiOiPr4 with BuPz exhibited a higher catalytic activity (approximately 17-fold) than TiOiPr4. High molecular mass PLA (M nGPC = 51 100, and Đ = 1.10) could be produced by using TiOiPr4 with furPz in melt polymerization ([TiOiPr4] : [furPz] = 1000 : 1 : 1 at 100 °C, 240 min). The crystal structure of MePz2Ti2OiPr7 revealed the cooperative activation between two Ti atoms during LA polymerization.

Nifant’ev I, Komarov P, Ovchinnikova V, Kiselev A, Minyaev M, Ivchenko P. Comparative Experimental and Theoretical Study of Mg, Al and Zn Aryloxy Complexes in Copolymerization of Cyclic Esters: The Role of the Metal Coordination in Formation of Random Copolymers. Polymers (Basel) 2020; 12:E2273. [PMID: 33023256 PMCID: PMC7600584 DOI: 10.3390/polym12102273] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2020] [Revised: 09/29/2020] [Accepted: 09/30/2020] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Homogeneity of copolymers is a general problem of catalytic coordination polymerization. In ring-opening polymerization of cyclic esters, the rational design of the catalyst is generally applied to solve this problem by the equalization of the reactivities of comonomers-however, it often leads to a reduction of catalytic activity. In the present paper, we studied the catalytic behavior of BnOH-activated complexes (ВНТ)Mg(THF)2nBu (1), (ВНТ)2AlMe (2) and [(ВНТ)ZnEt]2 (3), based on 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol (BHT-H) in homo- and copolymerization of L-lactide (lLA) and ε-caprolactone (εCL). Even at 1:5 lLA/εCL ratio Mg complex 1 catalyzed homopolymerization of lLA without involving εCL to the formation of the polymer backbone. On the contrary, Zn complex 3 efficiently catalyzed random lLA/εCL copolymerization; the presence of mono-lactate subunits in the copolymer chain clearly pointed to the transesterification mechanism of copolymer formation. Both epimerization and transesterification side processes were analyzed using the density functional theory (DFT) modeling that confirmed the qualitative difference in catalytic behavior of 1 and 3: Mg and Zn complexes demonstrated different types of preferable coordination on the PLA chain (k2 and k3, respectively) with the result that complex 3 catalyzed controlled εCL ROP/PLA transesterification, providing the formation of lLA/εCL copolymers that contain mono-lactate fragments separated by short oligo(εCL) chains. The best results in the synthesis of random lLA/εCL copolymers were obtained during experiments on transesterification of commercially available PLLA, the applicability of 3/BnOH catalyst in the synthesis of random copolymers of εCL with methyl glycolide, ethyl ethylene phosphonate and ethyl ethylene phosphate was also demonstrated.

Use of Titanium Complexes Bearing Diphenolate or Calix[n]arene Ligands in α-Olefin Polymerization and the ROP of Cyclic Esters. Catalysts 2020. [DOI: 10.3390/catal10020210] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
In this review, we discuss the use of titanium complexes bearing either bridged diphenolate or calix[n]arene (n = 4, 6, 8) ligation, in the formation of plastics from α-olefins or via the ring opening polymerization (ROP) of cyclic esters. The syntheses, molecular structures and catalytic behaviour of these systems are discussed, as well as where possible, the properties of the resultant polymers.
