Polymerization of ɛ-caprolactone using ruthenium(II) mixed metallocene catalysts and isopropyl alcohol: Living character and mechanistic study

A series of ruthenium(II) complexes with the general formula [Ru(η5-C5H5) (η6-substituted arene)]+[PF6]− (substituted arene = 2-phenylpyridine (1), dibenzosuberone (2) and toluene (3)), in combination with isopropyl alcohol were used for the polymerization of ɛ-caprolactone. The polymerization was f...
