化学简讯

目前报道的导电高分子,如聚吡咯和聚噻吩,虽然其电性能十分引人瞩目,但由于不易溶于普通溶剂,机械性能差,在空气中或遇热时不稳定,因而尚难应用。最近英国Durham大学、Bryce和Parker将碳氧链接在吡咯或噻吩环上,以增加其聚合后的稳定性和可溶性,然后仔细选择溶剂,进行“电解聚合”,从阳极上得到聚

Study of the electrosynthesis of poly(3-butylthiophene) and its semiconductor properties

The mechanism of the electrosynthesis of poly(3-butylthiophene) (PBuT) was studied by cyclic voltammetry and potential step methods in comparison with polybithienyl. The anodic oxidation polymerization of the 3-butylthiophene underwent two steps: oligomer formation and further polymerization to form the polymer. The doping level of the PBuT increases with the cycle number of the potential sweeps during polymerization. The current responses to the potential steps indicate a nucleation and nuclei growth process which is repeated layer to layer. The differential capacity (C _d) and photocurrent were measured at the PBuT films in the aqueous electrolyte solution. The C _d ⁻² vs. E plot shows two regions of linearity, one with a negative slope and the other with a positive slope in different potential regions, which give the same flat-band potential. This indicates that the PBuT film exhibits both p-type and n-type features of a semiconductor at differrent potential regions. The cathodic photocurrent spectrum was analysed by the (j _ph hν)^{2/ n} vs. hν plots, giving band gap energies of 2.41 eV for n=1 and and 2.01 eV for n=4.

[4+2]-Cycloaddition of sterically hindered thiophene S-oxides to alkenes and SO extrusion reactions of the cycloadducts

Cycloaddition reactions of 2,5-di-tert-butylthiophene S-oxide and 2,3,4,5-tetrakis(p-tolyl)thiophene S-oxide with alkenes are described. The reactivity of 2,5-di-tert-butylthiophene S-oxide as diene in Diels–Alder reactions is compared with 2,5-di-tert-butylthiophene S,S-dioxide. The thermal and photochemical SO extrusion reactions of the cycloadducts under formation of highly substitutedaromatic compounds are exemplified.     

Influence of Block Ratio on Thermal,Optical, and Photovoltaic Properties of Poly(3-hexylthiophene)-b-poly(3-butylthiophene)-b-poly(3-octylthiophene)

Efforts to improve the solar power conversion efficiencies of binary bulk heterojunction-type organic photovoltaic devices using an active layer consisting of a poly-(3-alkylthiophene) (P3AT) homopolymer and a suitable fullerene derivative face barriers caused by the intrinsic properties of homopolymers. To overcome such barriers, researchers might be able to chemically tailor homopolymers by means of monomer ratio-balanced block copolymerization to obtain preferable properties. Triblock copolymers consisting of three components—3-hexylthiophene (HT), 3-butylthiophene (BT), and 3-octylthiophene (OT)—were synthesized via Grignard metathesis (GRIM) polymerization. The component ratios of the synthesized block copolymers were virtually the same as the feeding ratios of the monomers, a fact which was verified using ¹H-NMR spectra. All the copolymers exhibited comparable crystalline and melting temperatures, which increased when one type of monomer became dominant. In addition, their power conversion efficiencies and photoluminescence properties were governed by the major components of the copolymers. Interestingly, the HT component-dominated block copolymer indicated the highest power conversion efficiency, comparable to that of its homopolymer, although its molecular weight was significantly shorter.     

Preparation and colloidal stability of monodisperse magnetic polymer particles

A previously proposed method was examined for producing monodisperse, submicrometer-sized magnetic polymer particles. The method applies soap-free emulsion polymerization during which Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles are heterocoagulated onto precipitated polymer nuclei. To chemically fix the magnetic particles to the polymer nuclei, vinyl groups were introduced on the Fe3O4 particles in a preliminary surface modification reaction with methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane, and methacryloxypropyldimethoxysilane (MPDMS) was added to reaction systems of the soap-free emulsion polymerization. The colloidal dispersion stability of magnetic polymer particles was improved by the addition of an ionic monomer, sodium p-styrenesulfonate (NaSS), during the polymerization. The polymerizations were carried out with styrene monomer and potassium persulfate initiator in ranges of NaSS concentrations (0-2.4 x 10(-3) M), NaSS addition times (60-80 min), and monomer concentrations (0.3-0.6 M) at fixed concentrations of 1.6 x 10(-2) M initiator and 1.3 x 10(-2) M MPDMS for pH 4.5 adjusted with a buffer system of [CH3COOH]/[NaOH]. The addition of NaSS during the polymerization could maintain the dispersion stability of magnetic polymer particles during the polymerization. Selection of the reaction conditions enabled the preparation of colloidally stable, submicrometer-sized magnetic polymer particles that had coefficients of variation of distribution smaller than the standard criterion for monodispersity, 10%.     

Solid-state polymerization of oxetanes. II. Investigation of the growth of the polymer phase as related to the mechanism of polymerization

The radiation-induced solid-state polymerization of 3,3-bischloromethyloxetane (BCMO) was investigated by direct observation of the development of the morphology of the growing polymer phase in single crystals of the monomer. Electron microscopy shows that the polymerization gives rise to amorphous polymer in the first step. The polymer forms irregular platelets which aggregate into larger units without reflecting the crystalline order of the monomer. Subsequent to polymerization, the amorphous polymer crystallizes to the β-modification of poly-BCMO. If the partially polymerized crystals are extracted by solvents of the monomer, crystallization of the polymer is enhanced, and morphological artifacts arise which were previously mistaken for the true morphology of the “as polymerized” polymer. The copolymerization behavior of solid solutions of 3-ethyl-3-chloromethyloxetane (ECMO) and BCMO does not differ from the liquid bulk copolymerization with respect to copolymer composition, which is different from the composition of the monomer mixture. It is concluded that the polymer chains grow in noncrystalline zones as in a polymerization in the liquid state by which amorphous polymer is formed. No lattice control was observable in this solid-state polymerization.     

Polymerization of o-quinodimethanes, 1. Radical polymerization of 1-methoxy-o-quinodimethane formed in situ by thermal isomerization of 1-methoxy-benzocyclobutene

The first radical polymerization of 1-methoxy-o-quinodimethane (2) generated by thermal ring-opening isomerization of 1-methoxybenzocyclobutene (1) is described. The polymerization of 1 in the presence of a radical initiator afforded an MeOH-insoluble polymer (3) in moderate yield at temperatures above 90°C. The structure of the obtained polymer is consistent with a ring-opening polymerization. The yield of the polymer increased with the amount of initiator. Radical copolymerization with methyl acrylate was carried out. Treatment of 3 with acid gave poly(o-phenylenevinylene), quantitatively.     

Stereocontrol during the radical polymerization of methyl methacrylates with combined Lewis acids:Aluminium trichloride(AlCl_3) and iron dichloride tetrahydrate

The radical polymerization of methyl methacrylate(MMA) was carried out in the presence of combined Lewis acids of the AlCl3-FeCl2 system.Compared with the polymerization produced in the presence of single Lewis acids,AlCl3 or FeCl2,the MMA polymerization in the presence of AlCl3-FeCl2 composite in CHCl3 or 1-butanol produced a polymer with a higher isotacticity and in toluene produced a polymer with a much higher isotacticity(mm=50%) .The molecular weight and polydispersity of PMMA in the presence of Lewis ...     

Initiating system Me_3SiCl/AlCl_3 for cationic polymerization of 1,3-pentadiene in toluene

Cationic polymerization of 1,3-pentadiene (PD) initiated by trimethylsilyl chloride/aluminium chloride (TMSCl/AlCl3) was carried out in toluene at 30℃.The polymer yield was increased by the addition of TMSC1.However,introduction of TMSC1 gave rise to a drop of the polymer molecular weight.Kinetic results demonstrated that the polymerization initiated by TMSCl/AlCl3 was 2.8 times faster than that induced by AlCl3 alone.Various ethers and ketones were used to mediate the initiating system TMSCl/AlCl3.The polymer yield and molecular weight of the polymer were decreased in the presence of ether.Ketones and ethers had different effects on the polymerization,and the polymer yield and molecular weight were lower than those initiated by AlCl3 alone or TMSCl/AlCl3 Structural evidence revealed that the polymerization was indeed initiated by AlCl3 and HCl rcsulting from hydrolysis of TMSC1 by adventitious water.
