Abstract

A novel Fe mono (terpyridine) complex was successfully prepared by deliberately choosing the polymer surface-anchored terpyridine as a chelating ligand and it showed an excellent catalytic activity with an easy reusability on the ring-opening reaction of various epoxides by alcohol and water under mild and neutral conditions to give stereospecific and regioselective products.
