Polymerization of 4-Dimethylamino-N-propargylpyridinium Bromide by Transition Metal Catalysts

The polymerization of an ionic propargyl derivative, 4-dimethylamino-N-propargylpyridinium bromide (DMAPPB), was carried out by palladium, platinum, and ruthenium chlorides. The polymerization of DMAPPB by these transition metal catalysts proceeded well to give a relatively high polymer yield. The chemical structure of the resulting polymer was characterized by such instrumental methods as elemental analysis, infrared, NMR, UV–visible spectroscopies to have conjugated polymer backbone system bearing 4-dimethylamino-N-methylenepyridinium bromide. The polymer was soluble in DMF, DMSO, and formic acid, and found to be less hygroscopic than those of similar homologues having more smaller substituents. The resulting polymers were mostly black powders and showed the amorphous morphology.

First-Row d6 Metal Complex Enables Photon Upconversion and Initiates Blue Light-Dependent Polymerization with Red Light

Photosensitizers for sensitized triplet-triplet annihilation upconversion (sTTA-UC) often rely on precious heavy metals, whereas coordination complexes based on abundant first-row transition metals are less common. This is mainly because long-lived triplet excited states are more difficult to obtain for 3d metals, particularly when the d-subshell is only partially filled. Here, we report the first example of sTTA-UC based on a 3d⁶ metal photosensitizer yielding an upconversion performance competitive with precious metal-based analogues. Using a newly developed Cr⁰ photosensitizer featuring equally good photophysical properties as an Os^II benchmark complex in combination with an acetylene-decorated anthracene annihilator, red-to-blue upconversion is achievable. The upconversion efficiency under optimized conditions is 1.8 %, and the excitation power density threshold to reach the strong annihilation limit is 5.9 W/cm². These performance factors, along with high photostability, permit the initiation of acrylamide polymerization by red light, based on radiative energy transfer between delayed annihilator fluorescence and a blue light absorbing photo-initiator. Our study provides the proof-of-concept for photon upconversion with elusive first-row analogues of widely employed precious d⁶ metal photosensitizers, and for their application in photochemical reactions triggered by excitation wavelengths close to near-infrared.     

Isospecific Polymerization of Methyl Methacrylate by Intramolecular Rare‐Earth Metal Based Lewis Pairs†

A series of cationic rare‐earth aryloxide complexes, i.e., [LREOAr']⁺[B(C₆F₅)₄]^– (L = CH₃C(NAr)CHC(CH₃)(NCH(R)CH₂PPh₂); RE = Y, Lu; Ar' =2,6‐tBu₂‐C₆H₃, 2,6‐(PhCMe₂)₂‐4‐Me‐C₆H₂; Ar = 2,6‐iPr₂‐C₆H₃, 2,6‐(Ph₂CH)₂‐4‐iPr‐C₆H₂; R = H, CH₃, iPr, Ph), were prepared and applied to the Lewis pair polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA). The stereoregularity of the resulting PMMA was significantly affected by the R substituent on the pendant arm of the tridentate NNP ligand, and was found to increase with increase in the steric hindrance of R. When using a Ph group as R, the Y complex produced a highly isotactic polymer with an mm value of 95% and a T_g of 54.6 ^oC. In contrast, the steric hindrance of the Ar and Ar' groups had no effect on the tacticity of the resulting polymer, presumably because these two substituents were situated such that they pointed outward from the cyclic intermediates. Kinetics studies demonstrated that the polymerization was a first‐order process with regard to the monomer concentration prior to catalyst deactivation. End group analysis indicated that the polymerization was accompanied by two possibly competing chain‐termination side reactions that proceeded via intramolecular backbiting cyclization.
