固相二乙炴拓扑聚合及侧基效应的理论研究

用EHCO-ASED方法, 对固相二乙炔热聚合反应MDA→PBT→PDA及其侧基(R=Li、CH_3、F)效虚进行了研究。结果表明, 不同侧基的二乙炔体系的MDA—PBT—PDA变化中,在反应坐标0.86附近, 体系的能隙均达到近于零的极小值, 同时前线轨道对称性发生突变。上述变化使得此聚合反应成为热允许的。侧基的变化, 对该类反应的反应机理及活化能影响较小, 但对产物PDA的热力学稳定性的影响则较为显著。还用EHMO-ASED方法对此反应进行了计算。结果表明, 对不同侧基R, 当外推至体系重复单元数n→∞时, 都能得到与EHCO-ASED一致的结果。

Topochemical polymerization of diphenyldiacetylene-based materials and the relevant application in photocatalysis

Diphenyldiacetylene can be preorganized by self-assembly or external-templating, followed by topochemical polymerization under UV irradiation to form polydiphenyldiacetylene. Such a resulting polymer is a promising photocatalyst for organic pollutant degradation under visible light.     

A Topochemical Approach to Synthesize Layered Materials Based on the Redox Reactivity of Anionic Chalcogen Dimers

Layered transition metal compounds represent a major playground to explore unconventional electric or magnetic properties. In that framework, topochemical approaches that mostly preserve the topology of layered reactants have been intensively investigated to tune properties and/or design new materials. Topochemical reactions often involve the insertion or deinsertion of a chemical element accompanied by a change of oxidation state of the cations only. Conversely, cases where anions play the role of redox centers are very scarce. Here we show that the insertion of copper into two dimensional precursors containing chalcogen dimers (Q₂)^2? (Q=S, Se) can produce layered materials with extended (CuQ) sheets. The reality of this topochemical reaction is demonstrated here for different pristine materials, namely La₂O₂S₂, Ba₂F₂S₂, and LaSe₂. Therefore, this work opens up a new synthetic strategy to design layered transition metal compounds from precursors containing polyanionic redox centers.     

Synthesis and Chemical Properties of Diacetylenes with Pyridinium and 4,4′‐Bipyridinium Groups

Diacetylenes (DAs) having a dipolar D‐π‐A structure (D=donor: amino group; π=π‐conjugation core; A=acceptor: pyridinium (Py) and bipyridinium (BPy) groups), i.e., 4 (APBPyDA) and 5 (APPyPyDA), or an A‐π‐A structure, i.e., 7 (DBPyDA) and 8 (PyDA(Cl)), were obtained by 1 : 1 and 1 : 2 reactions of 4,4′‐(buta‐1,3‐diyne‐1,4‐diyl)bis[benzenamine] (APDA; 3 ) with 1‐(2,4‐dinitrophenyl)‐1′‐hexyl‐4,4′‐bipyridinium bromide chloride (1 : 1 : 1) ( 1 ), 1‐(2,4‐dinitrophenyl)‐4‐(pyridin‐4‐yl)pyridinium chloride ( 2 ), or 1‐(2,4‐dinitrophenyl)pyridinium chloride ( 6 ) (Schemes 1 and 2). The anion‐exchange reactions of 8 with NaI and Li(TCNQ) (TCNQ^?=2,2′‐(cyclohexa‐2,5‐diene‐1,4‐diylidene)bis[propanedinitrile] radical ion (1?)) yielded the corresponding I^? and TCNQ^? salts 9 (PyDA(I)) and 10 (PyDA(TCNQ)). Compounds 10 and 4 exhibited a UV/VIS absorption due to a charge transfer between the TCNQ^? and the pyridinium groups and a strong solute–solvent interaction of a dipolar solute molecule in the polar environment, respectively. Compounds 8 – 10 exhibited photoluminescence in solution, whereas 4 and 7 did not because of the presence of the 4,4′‐bipyridinium quenching groups. Differential‐scanning‐calorimetry (DSC) measurements suggested that the DAs obtained in this study can be converted into poly(diacetylenes) by thermal polymerization.     

Studies on Epitaxial Polymerization of 1,3-Bis （3-quinolyl）- 1,4-butadiyne

During investigating what causes the low yield of the polymerization product of 1,4-bis (quinolyl)-1, 3-butadiyne (DQ), we found that the DQ crystals formed on the surface of PDQ cauld be polymerized to give blue crystals, in which DQ could be sublimated and crystallized on the surface of PDQ film. According to the experimental results, the reason why the DQ crystals can be polymerized is that the sublimation of DQ changes the molecular orientation of DQ in the crystal. The crystals formed in epitaxial growth on the surface of DQ or PDQ during sublimation of DQ are suitable for 1,4-addition polymerization.     

Perfluorophenyl–Phenyl Interactions in the Crystallization and Topochemical Polymerization of Triacetylene Monomers

A series of symmetrically and unsymmetrically substituted octa‐2,4,6‐triyne‐1,8‐diol derivatives with benzoyl, 4‐dodecyloxybenzoyl, as well as perfluorobenzoyl substituents were prepared and investigated with respect to their crystal structures and topochemical polymerizability. Single‐crystal structures for several of these triacetylene monomers have been obtained and proved that the perfluorophenyl–phenyl interactions played a decisive role in the molecular packing. As a consequence of the geometric requirements imposed by the perfluorophenyl–phenyl interactions, packing parameters appropriate for a topochemical triacetylene polymerization in the sense of either a 1,6‐ or a 1,4‐polyaddition along different crystallographic axes were observed in two cases, and UV irradiation led to successful polymerization. Raman as well as solid‐state ¹³C NMR spectra of the obtained polymers revealed that the polymerization had predominantly proceeded in the form of a 1,4‐polyaddition.     

Termination Mechanism of the Radical Polymerization of Acrylates

The termination mechanism of the radical polymerization of acrylates, namely the selectivity of disproportionation (Disp) and combination (Comb) between polymer end radicals, is unambiguously determined by the reaction of polyacrylate end radicals generated from corresponding “living” organotellurium ω‐end polymer. While textbooks describe the occurrence of Comb, the reaction at 25 °C exclusively gives the Disp products. Ab initio molecular dynamics suggests that the products form by two pathways: The direct disproportionation reaction and a novel stepwise process that involves the initial formation of the C–O coupling product followed by intramolecular rearrangement. The termination at high temperature and low radical concentration increases the contribution of back‐biting reaction giving mid‐chain radicals, and complex reaction pathways of the mid‐chain radicals are clarified for the first time.

     

On the Termination Mechanism in the Radical Polymerization of Acrylates

In a recent publication, Nakamura and co‐workers studied the termination mechanism in the radical polymerization of acrylates. Contrary to conventional thinking, their conclusion is that termination is overwhelmingly by disproportionation. This finding impacts on a large body of the previous work in the polymerization of acrylic monomers which this work seeks to address. Analysis of the molecular weight distribution of acrylic polymers obtained under different polymerization conditions shows that termination by combination is the more probable mechanism for mutual termination of secondary radicals. It is proposed that in the experiments conducted by Nakamura and co‐workers, backbiting plays a key role and their experimental data are reinterpreted, showing that they are more revealing with respect to the mode of termination of the midchain radical produced by backbiting, than to bimolecular termination of secondary radicals.

     

Rational Design of Diphenyldiacetylene-Based Fluorescent Materials Enabling a 365-nm Light-Initiated Topochemical Polymerization

Photopolymerization of diacetylenes usually requires stringent reaction conditions like high energy irradiation of 254-nm light or even γ-rays, which are generally harmful to the human body and thus mild conditions with lower energy irradiation are required. In this study, different diphenyldiacetylene (DPDA) derivatives were rationally designed followed by the investigation of their photopolymerization behavior. It was found that the para-substituted amino groups could render the absorption band of DPDA bathochromically shifted, ensuring a 365-nm light wavelength coverage. On this basis, an organogel system was constructed by chemically modifying cholesteryl and lipoic acid onto the DPDA moiety in aromatic solvents. Such uniform self-assemblies further facilitated to a rather high degree of polymerization by 365-nm irradiation. As a kind of fluorescent materials, the whole polymerization process of this system can be visualized by a photoluminescent signal.     

Investigation on lipase-catalyzed solution polymerization of cyclic carbonate

In this study, 26-membered macrocyclic carbonate, cyclobis(decamethylene carbonate) [(DMC)₂] was attempted to undergo ring-opening polymerization by lipase catalysis in toluene. Novozym-435 exhibited even higher catalytic activity towards (DMC)₂ polymerization compared with SnOCt₂ while high molecular weight (M_n) of 5.4 × 10⁴ and yield of 99% was still achieved at ultra-low enzyme/substrate (E/S) weight ratio of 1/200. ¹H NMR spectra demonstrated the existence of terminal hydroxyl group. Solid phase polymerization in the absence of toluene unexpectedly took place at the temperature lower than (DMC)₂’s melting point of 110 °C. Compared with solvent-free case, the addition of toluene solvent resulted in marked increase in reaction rate. As to the polymerization during 48 h with the E/S weight ratio of 1/100, a region existed at around toluene/carbonate (vol/wt, ml/g) ratio of 1∼2 where the polymerizations gave optimal results in terms of both higher molecular weight and monomer conversion. It was found that much higher molecular weight polymers may be obtained by decreasing enzyme concentrations. Plots of ln{[M]₀:[M]_t} versus reaction time were in linear agreement, indicating no chain termination, and monomer consumption follows a first-order rate law. The Novozym-435 catalyzed polymerization of (DMC)₂ in toluene presented pseudo-living characteristic. Compared with 6-membered trimethylene carbonate, much lower reaction activity of large-sized (DMC)₂ is observed, which is opposite to the result concerning the enzymatic polymerization of lactones with different ring-size.     

Topochemical Syntheses of Polyarylopeptides Involving Large Molecular Motions: Frustrated Monomer Packing Leads to the Formation of Polymer Blends

We report the topochemical syntheses of three polyarylopeptides, wherein triazolylphenyl group is integrated into the backbone of peptide chains. We synthesized three different monomers having azide and arylacetylene as end-groups from glycine, L-alanine and L-valine. We crystallized these monomers and the crystal structures of two of them were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffractometry. Due to the steric constraints, both of these monomers crystallized with two molecules, viz. conformers A and B , in the asymmetric unit. Consistently, in both cases, the A -conformers are antiparallelly π -stacked and B -conformers are parallelly slip-stacked, exploiting weak interactions. Though the arrangements of molecules in the pristine crystals were unsuitable for topochemical reaction, upon heating, they undergo large motion inside the crystal lattice to reach a transient reactive orientation and thereby the self-sorted conformer stacks react to give a blend of triazole-linked polyarylopeptides having two different linkages. Due to the large molecular motion inside crystals, the product phase loses its crystallinity.

Investigation on the Inverse Emulsion Polymerization of Acrylic Acid

An aqueous solution of the hydrophilic monomer such as acrylic acid is dispersed in a continuous lipophilic medium using surfactants, which promote the formation of a water- in-oil (W/O) emulsion. The water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion polymerization process has shown superior characteristics1 such as the low viscosity of the dispersion, easy removal of the reaction heat2 and the high molecular weight of the obtained polymer3 etc. And it is attractive to investigate the reaction system because the…     

Study on the kinetics of the isothermal decomposition of selenites from IIIB group of the periodic system

Both the thermal stability and the kinetics of the isothermal decompositions of the selenites of aluminium, gallium and indium have been studied. A relationship between the activation energy of the process and the radius of cations was found. Such a relationship is believed to result from the effect of counter-polarization of the selenite anion, that depends on the cation nature. The negative values of the activation entropy changes show that the active complex has a more complicated structure than the starting reactant. The increase of the observed absolute values of the activation entropy changes from indium to aluminium selenite also indicates that the structure of the active complex improves with the decrease of cation radius. The values of the steric factor calculated from the Arrhenius equation are significantly lower than unity which means that the isothermal decomposition of selenites from IIIB group of the periodic system belongs to the so-called “slow” reactions.     

Light‐Harvesting Organic Photoinitiators of Polymerization

Two new photoinitiators with unprecedented light absorption properties are proposed on the basis of a suitable truxene skeleton where several UV photoinitiators PI units such as benzophenone and thioxanthone are introduced at the periphery and whose molecular orbitals MO can be coupled with those of the PI units: a red‐shifted absorption and a strong increase of the molecular extinction coefficients (by a ≈ 20–1000 fold factor) are found. These compounds are highly efficient light‐harvesting photoinitiators. The scope and practicality of these photoinitiators of polymerization can be dramatically expanded, that is, both radical and cationic polymerization processes are accessible upon very soft irradiation conditions (halogen lamp, LED…︁) thanks to the unique light absorption properties of the new proposed structures.     

SERS Investigation on the Polymerization of Carbazolyl-diacetylene Monolayers on Gold Surfaces

Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering experiments were performed on self-assembled carbazolyl-diacetylene monolayers chemisorbed on smooth gold substrates and UV irradiated. The Raman enhancement was ensured by depositing silver colloidal nanoparticles, which strongly increase the surface roughness. The co-existence of two polymer phases, characterized by different degree of order in the polymeric backbone, was detected by SERS results, which suggest a polymerization scheme with conjugated triple bonds nearly parallel to the plane of the metal surface.     

Crystal‐to‐Crystal Synthesis of Helically Ordered Polymers of Trehalose by Topochemical Polymerization

The synthesis of crystalline helical polymers of trehalose via topochemical azide–alkyne cycloaddition (TAAC) of a trehalose‐based monomer is presented. An unsymmetrical trehalose derivative having azide and alkyne crystallizes in two different forms having almost similar packing. Upon heating, both the crystals undergo TAAC reaction to form crystalline polymers. Powder X‐ray diffraction (PXRD) studies revealed that the monomers in both the crystals polymerize in a crystal‐to‐crystal fashion; circular dichroism (CD) studies of the product crystals revealed that the formed polymer is helically ordered. This solvent‐free, catalyst‐free polymerization method that eliminates the tedious purification of the polymeric product exemplifies the advantage of topochemical polymerization reaction over traditional solution‐phase polymerization.
