In recent years, interest has grown in the development of organometallic complexes for the polymerization of monomers from renewable resources. Literature evidence shows that amine bis(phenolate) ligands complexed with a variety of metals demonstrate catalytic activity. Our group’s research targets the polymerization of lactic acid to polylactic acid (PLA) using metal complexes bearing variations of amine bis(phenolate) ligands. We are reporting the synthesis and characterization of a novel set of pendant amine bis(phenolate) ligands.<br/>
