Popis: A series of Al complexes bearing diethyl 2-((arylamino)methylene)malonate and diethyl 2-((alkylamino)methylene)malonate ligands (AMM ligands) were synthesized and their application in the ring-opening polymerization of e-caprolactone was studied. All the Al complexes bearing AMM ligands exhibited higher catalytic activity (approximately 2.8–16.5 fold) than those Al complexes bearing ketiminate ligands did, except OiPrAlMe2 (2 fold lower catalytic activity). In addition, Al complexes with steric hindrance or electron-withdrawing groups in the ligands revealed the greater catalytic activity, and the chelating effect reduced the reactivity of ring-opening polymerization.
