Popis: Calixarenes bridged by thia (−S−), sulfinyl (−SO−), or sulfonyl (−SO2−) linkers have been employed as ancillary ligands in vanadium-based ethylene polymerization and in the ring-opening polymerization of e-caprolactone. For ethylene polymerization, all pro-catalysts [PPh4][VOCl2(R-calix[4]areneH2)] (R = p-tert-butylthia (−S−) (1), sulfinyl (−SO−) (2), sulfonyl (−SO2−) (3)) were highly active, with the system bearing the sulfonyl (−SO2−)-bridged calixarene displaying enhanced activity. The molecular structures of pro-catalysts 2 and 3 are reported. Pro-catalysts 1–3 were inactive for the ROP of e-caprolactone.
