The reactions of N,N′-bis(2,6-dimethylphenyl)formamidine (L1) and N,N′-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)formamidine (L2), with Zn(OAc)2·2H2O salt and auxiliary benzoate ligands produced the respective Zn(II) formamidine benzoate complexes 1–4. All the complexes were characterized by IR, NMR spectroscopy elemental analysis and single crystal X-ray diffraction analyses for complexes 1, 2 and 3. Complexes 1–4 were active in the ring opening polymerization (ROP) of ɛ-caprolactone (ɛ-CL), d,l-lactide (d,l-LA) and l-lactide (l-LA) monomers. The kinetic results indicated a pseudo-first order dependency on the monomers. The nature of the N,N′ diarylformamidines ligands, auxiliary benzoate and solvent were found to affect the catalytic activity as well as the properties of the polymers. Activation parameters obtained from Eyring plots for the ROP of ɛ-CL using complex 4 points to coordination insertion mechanism.
