Abstract: A comparative study of catalytic activity of aryloxy complexes of Mg, Zn and Al in the synthesis of poly(butylene adipate terephthalate) demonstrated the preference of Al-based catalyst containing two bulky substituents in ortho-position of phenol ligand in terms of higher values of PBAT MW and lower yields of cyclic diester side product.

Keywords: aluminum complexes, biodegradable polymers, biometals, esterification, phenates, polycondensation, PBAT, polyesters.
