N2 - Four aluminum alkyl compounds, [CH{(CH3)CN-2,4,6-MeC6H2}2AlMe2] (1), [CH{(CH3)CN-2,4,6-MeC6H2}2AlEt2] (2), [CH{(CH3)CN-2-iPrC6H4}2AlMe2] (3), and [CH{(CH3)CN-2-iPrC6H4}2AlEt2] (4), bearing β-diketiminate ligands [CH{(Me)CN-2,4,6-MeC6H2}]2 (L1H) and [CH{(Me)CN-2-iPrC6H4}]2 (L2H) were obtained from the reactions of trimethylaluminum, triethylaluminum with the corresponding β-diketiminate, respectively. All compounds were characterized by 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectroscopy, single-crystal X-ray structural analysis, and elemental analysis. Compounds 1–4 were found to catalyze the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of ε-caprolactone (ε-CL) with good activity.
