New heterobimetallic borohydrido neodymium complexes {[OONN]1Nd(BH4)(m-BH4)Li(THF)}2 (1) and [OONN]3Nd(BH4)(m-BH4)Li(THF)2 (3) supported by diamino-bis(phenoxide) ligands\ud([OONN]1 = {CH2N(Me)CH2-3,5-Me,t-Bu-C6H2O}2; [OONN]3 = C5H4NCH2N-{CH2-3,5-Me,t-Bu-C6H2O}2) were synthesized by the reactions of Nd(BH4)3(THF)2 with equimolar amounts of dilithium derivatives of diamino-bis(phenol)s Li2[OONN]n and isolated in high yields. In the case of Li2[OONN]2 ([OONN]2=Me2NCH2CH2N{CH2-3,5-t-Bu-C6H2O}2), the same synthetic procedure afforded the heterobimetallic bis(phenoxide) complex Li{Nd[OONN2]2} (2). The structures of complexes 1–3 were established by X-ray diffraction\udstudies. Compounds 1–3 act as single-site initiators for the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of racemic lactide and racemic b-butyrolactone under mild conditions (20 1C), providing atactic polymers with controlled molecular weights and relatively narrow polydispersities (Mw/Mn = 1.07–1.82). While 1 and 3 initiate polymerization via their borohydride groups, ROP with 2 proceeds via insertion into the Nd–O(ligand) bond
