dc.description.abstract | Poly(delta-valerolactone) (PVL) was synthesized by ring-opening polymerization (ROP), employing tin(II) acetate (SnAcet(2)), lead(II) acetate trihydrate (PbAcet(2)center dot 3H(2)O) and cadmium(II) acetate dihydrate (CdAcet(2)center dot 2H(2)O) complexes as initiators without any co-initiator. The highest molecular weight PVL (45 438 g mol(-1), 91% yield) was obtained with CdAcet(2)center dot 2H(2)O. Characterization of the synthesized products was performed by FTIR, H-1 NMR, C-13 NMR, gel permeation chromatography (GPC), matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF/TOF MS), TGA and DSC. Electrostatic data (natural bond orbital and Hirshfeld) and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) of the initiators were obtained by using several density functional theory methods (B3LYP, omega B97X-D, PBEPBE, BPV86, HSEH1PBE, MPW1PW91, M06 and M062X). In addition, the initiation stage of the ROP mechanism of delta-valerolactone with these metal acetate complexes was investigated at the omega B97X-D level with a mixed basis set. It was computationally determined that the most effective initiator was also CdAcet(2). The molecular weight variation of PVLs synthesized with these initiators can be associated with the combined evaluation of atomic charge, LUMO and orbital overlap analyses. The computationally obtained reaction barriers for the initiators support this idea, also. In addition, toxicity tests carried out for PVLs synthesized with acetate complexes containing Sn, Cd and Pb revealed that the Sn and Cd complexes do not have a toxic effect on cell viability at some dilution rates.
