β¦ Synopsis
It was first found that (diisopropylamido)bis(methylcyclopentadienyl)lanthanides (MeC 5 H 4 ) 2 LnN(i-Pr) 2 (THF) (Ln Γ Yb ( 1), Er ( 2), Y (3)) exhibit extremely high catalytic activity in the polymerization of methyl methacrylate. The reactions can be carried out over a quite broad range of polymerization temperatures from 078 to 40ΠC. The catalytic activity of the complexes increases with an increase of ionic radii of the metal elements, i.e. Y ΓΊ Er ΓΊ Yb. The results of GPC (gel permeation chromatography) indicate that the number-average molecular weights (M n ) of polymers obtained exceed 100 1 10 3 and the molecular weight distribution ( M w /M n ) becomes broad with the increase of temperature. Furthermore highly syndiotactic PMMA (87.7%) can be obtained by lowering the reaction temperature to 078ΠC.

The analytical data of 3a-3e point to the formation of monomeric and unsolvated complexes, (PhCMe 2 C 5 H 4 ) 2 LnCl (Ln = Er (3a), Sm (3b), Gd (3c), Y (3d), Nd (3e));
## Abstract The ringβopening polymerization of trimethylene carbonate (TMC) using homoleptic lanthanide amidinate complexes [CyNC(R)NCy]~3~Ln as single component initiators has been fully investigated for the first time. The substituents on amidinate ligands and center metals show great effect on t
