CHARGE-TRANSFER AND ENERGY-TRANSFER IN THE PHOTO-INDUCED COPOLYMERIZATION OF 2-VINYLNAPHTHALENE WITH MALEIC ANHYDRIDE

The initiation mechanism of the copolymerization of 2-vinylnaphthalene with maleic anhydride was studied under irradiation of 365 nm. The excited complex was formed from (1) the local excitation of 2-vinylnaphthalene followed by the charge-transfer interaction with maleic anhydride and (2) the excitation of the ground state charge-transfer complex, and then it collapsed to 1,4-tetramethylene biradical for initiation. A1: 1 alternating copolymer was formed in different monomer feeds. Addition of benzophenone could greatly enhance the rate of copolymerization through energy-transfer mechanism.     

2-乙烯基萘/反丁烯二腈光照下共聚合

2-乙烯基萘与反丁烯二腈可以在365nm光照下共聚合,生成1:1交替共聚物。研究了聚合反应的引发机理,认为通过二者的基态电荷转移复合物受光激发和2-乙烯基萘的定域激发形成激发态复合物,其进一步反应生成1,4-双自由基,引发链增长。
