Herein, we report the preparation and characterisation of iron(III) salalen complexes, with variation of ligand substituents and backbone investigated. Six new complexes were prepared and characterised by elemental analysis, mass spectrometry and X-ray crystallography. These complexes have been applied for the ring opening polymerisation (ROP) of rac-lactide in propylene oxide. Fe(1)Cl was found to have a moderate isotactic preference (P-m = 0.75-0.80) and demonstrated good molecular weight control in solution (D = 1.02-1.18). Fe(2-7)Cl were also active for ROP and activities could be related to ligand structure.
