Study on cationic polymerization of isobutylene using electrochemical method

The cationic polymerization of isobutylene (IB) initiated by H₂O/TiCl₄ was carried out in a mixture of methylene dichloride and n-hexane at −60 °C in the presence of a variety of external electron pair donors (EDs), such as triethylamine (TEA), N,N-dimethyl acetamide (DMA) and pyridine (Py). The effects of ED concentration ([ED]), H₂O concentration ([H₂O]) on conductance and capacitance in H₂O/TiCl₄/ED/CH₂Cl₂ reaction system were investigated. The effects of [ED], [H₂O], solven polarity and polymerization time on monomer conversion, molecular weight (MW), molecular weight distribution (MWD, M_w/M_n) of polyisobutylene (PIB) were also investigated. Conductance decreased while capacitance increased with increases in both [ED] and electron donicity of ED. Conductance and capacitance increased with [H₂O] when [H₂O] was more than [Py]. Both unpaired and paired ions existed as propagating species or chain carriers in the presence of relatively low [ED] and polymers with bimodal molecular weight distribution (peak a and b) were obtained. The peak a with high molecular weight was induced by propagation via unpaired ions while peak b with low molecular weight was induced by propagation via paired ions. The propagation via paired ions could be achieved and polymers with unimodal molecular weight distribution could be produced when sufficient amounts of external ED was introduced to polymerization system.     

Investigation of the effect of reaction conditions on the synthesis of multiarm-star polyisobutylene-polystyrene block copolymers

New multi-arm star block copolymers comprising of rubbery polyisobutylene (PIB) midsegment and glassy polystyrene (PS) end blocks have been synthesized by carbocationic polymerization using a new multifunctional initiator, hexaepoxy squalene (HES), with TiCl₄ coinitiator, di-t-butylpyridine (DtBP) as a proton trap and N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMA) as an electron pair donor in methylcyclohexane (MeCHx)/methyl chloride (MeCl) solvent mixtures at −80 °C. It was found that reaction conditions, such as solvent composition, HES/isobutylene (IB) ratio and TiCl₄ concentration, have profound influence on initiator efficiency and functionality. Living conditions were achieved in the presence of DMA in MeCHx/MeCl 60/40 v/v, while in the absence of DMA, the M_n-conversion plot showed a considerable intercept. Depending on the reaction conditions, the PIB midblocks had 3-10 arms. Reaction rates increased with increasing solvent polarity and TiCl₄ concentration. Living narrow molecular weight distribution PIBs (M_w/M_n=1.1-1.2) were reacted with styrene (St) solution containing DtBP and DMA to yield multiarm-star PIB-PS block copolymers. Blocking was evidenced by SEC analysis and copolymers with 8.9-28.6 wt.% PS, M_n∼164,000-609,000 g/mol and M_w/M_n=1.32-1.88 were successfully synthesized.     

Living Carbocationic Polymerization. XLIX. Two-Stage Living Polymerization of Isobutylene to Di-tert-chlorine Telechelic Polyisobutylene

Abstract

A two-stage process was developed for the living polymerization of isobutylene (IB) employing di-tert-alcohol initiators in conjunction with BCl₃ coinitiator in the first or initiation stage, followed by TiCl₄ coinitiator in the second or propagation stage; the process was shown to yield high molecular weight (up to M ⁿ 20,000), narrow molecular weight distribution (MWD) M ^w/M ⁿ = 1.1–1.2) di-tert-chlorine telechelic polyisobutylenes (^tCl-PIB-Cl^t). The initiation stage involves the homogeneous solution living polymerization of IB induced by the di-tert-alcohol/BCl₃ combination in the presence of an electron donor such as N,N-dimethylacetamide in CH₃Cl solvent at ?80°C and proceeds up to M ⁿ < 5000; this is followed by the propagation stage in which TiCl₄ and the bulk of IB plus a sufficient amount of n-C₆H₁₄ are added to the charge to bring the solvent composition to CH₃Cl/n-C₆H₁₄ 60/40 v/v and the living polymerization is continued until high M ⁿ product is obtained. This two-stage process was developed because 1) it employs very inexpensive chemicals; 2) di-tert-alcohol/BCl₃ combinations initiate living IB polymerization in CH₃Cl but the product after reaching M ⁿ ≤ 5000 precipitates out of the CH₃Cl solution, and di-tert-alcohol/BCl₄ combinations do not initiate IB polymerization; and 3) di-tert-alcohol/BCl₃ systems do not initiate (or only very slowly) the living polymerization of IB in CH₃Cl/n-C₆H₁₄ mixtures, whereas similar TiCl₄-based systems do. The polymerization remains living during both stages although the propagating species and solvent polarity are profoundly altered. The livingness of the system has been analyzed by kinetic experiments and the structure of the ^tCl-PIB-Cl^t product by routine spectroscopic means.     

Synthesis of polyisobutylene with arylamino terminal group by combination of cationic polymerization with alkylation

The controlled cationic polymerization of isobutylene (IB) initiated by H₂O as initiator and TiCl₄ as coinitiator was carried out in n‐Hexane/CH₂Cl₂ (60/40, v/v) mixture at −40 °C in the presence of N,N‐dimethylacetamide (DMA). Polyisobutylene (PIB) with nearly theoretical molecular weight (M_n = 1.0 × 10⁴ g/mol), polydispersity (M_w/M_n) of 1.5 and high content (87.3%) of reactive end groups (tert‐Chlorine and α‐double bond) was obtained. The Friedel‐Crafts alkylation of triphenylamine (TPA) with the above reactive PIB was further conducted at different reactions, such as [TPA]/[PIB], solvent polarity, alkylation temperature, and time. The resultant PIBs with arylamino terminal group were characterized by ¹H NMR, UV, and GPC with RI/UV dual detectors. The experimental results indicate that alkylation efficiency (A_eff) increased with increases in [TPA]/[PIB], reaction temperature, and reaction time and with a decrease in solvent polarity. The alkylation efficiency could reach 81.0% at 60/40(v/v) mixture of n‐Hex/CH₂Cl₂ with [TPA]/[PIB] of 4.49 at 50 °C for 54 h. Interestingly, the synthesis of PIB with arylamino terminal group could also be achieved in one pot by combination of the cationic polymerization of IB initiated by H₂O/TiCl₄/DMA system with the successive alkylation by further introduction of TPA. Mono‐, di‐ or tri‐alkylation occurred experimentally with different molar ratio of [TPA]/[PIB]. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 46: 936–946, 2008     

Synthesis of highly reactive polyisobutylenes with BF<Subscript>3</Subscript>·cyclohexanol initiating system

The selective cationic polymerization of isobutylene（IB）initiated by a BF₃·cyclohexanol（CL）complex was carried out from the mixed C₄ fraction feed containing the 4C saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons at-20℃.The effects of CL concentration,BF₃ concentration,solvent for preparing BF₃·CL complex and polymerization time on the chemical structure of end groups,number-average molecular weight（M_n）and molecular weight distribution（MWD,M_w/M_n）of the resulting polymers were investigated.The experimental results indicate that the BF₃·CL complex initiating system exhibited an extremely high selectivity toward the cationic polymerization of IB in the mixed C₄ fraction feed and low molecular weight（M_n=900-3600）polyisobutylenes（PIBs）with large proportion of exo-double bond end groups were obtained.The exo-double bond content in PIB chain ends increased by increasing CL concentration or by decreasing solvent polarity in initiating system,BF₃ concentration and polymerization time.The M_n and MWD of the resulting PIBs were dependent on the concentrations of CL and BF₃.Highly reactive PIBs with around 90 mol%of exo-double bonds were successfully synthesized by the selective polymerization of IB from the mixed C₄ fraction feed,providing a potentially practical process for its simplicity and low costs.     

Investigation of the effect of epoxide structure on the initiation efficiency in isobutylene polymerizations initiated by epoxide/TiCl4 systems

The effect of the chemical structure of styrene-based epoxides, namely, styrene epoxide (SE), α-methylstyrene epoxide (MSE), p-methylstyrene epoxide (pM-SE) and α-methyl-p-methylstyrene epoxide (pM-MSE), in conjunction with TiCl₄, on the initiation efficiency (I_eff) in the carbocationic polymerization of isobutylene (IB) was investigated. SE yielded living polymerization, but the initiation efficiency was low when compared to MSE (I_eff=8% and 35%, respectively). pM-SE led to non-living IB polymerization, while pM-MSE revealed linear M_n-conversion plot and narrow MWD with a non-linear first order rate plot. Among the epoxides investigated, MSE was the best initiator to scale up the one-step synthesis of polyisobutylenes (PIBs) carrying one primary hydroxyl head group and one tertiary chloride end group. The hydroxyl functionality of these PIBs determined by ¹H-NMR was F_n=1.09±0.16 from 24 experiments.     

Quasiliving Carbocationic Poiymerization. III. Quasiliving Polymerization of lsobutylene

The polymerization of isobutylene has been investigated by the use of the steady, slow, continuous monomer addition technique in the presence of a variety of initiating systems, i.e., “H₂O”/TiCl₄, “H₂O”/AlCl₃, C₆H₅C(CH₃)₂Cl/TiCl₄, p-ClCH₂ C₆(CH₃)₄* CH₂Cl/AlCl₃ at -50°C. Quasiliving polymerizations have been obtained with the “H₂O” and C₆H₅(CH₃)₂Cl/TiC1₄ systems in 60/40 v/v n-hexane/methylene chloride solvent mixtures with very slow monomer input. After a brief “flash” polymerization, the M _n of PIB increased linearly with the cumulative amount of monomer added (consumed); however, the number of polymer molecules formed also increased, indicating the presence of chain transfer to monomer. With the “H₂O”/TiCl₄ initiating system, M _n,max was 56,000 and M _w /M _n < 2.0. By the use of the C₆H₅C(CH₃)₂CL/TiCl₄ initiating system, quasiliving polymerization has been achieved and chain transfer could virtually be eliminated.     

Synthesis of high molecular weight polyisobutylene via cationic polymerization at elevated temperatures

A novel simple but effective initiating system of H2O/AlCl3 /veratrole (VE) has been developed to synthesize high molecular weight polyisobutylene (PIB) at elevated temperatures via cationic polymerization of isobutylene (IB) in solvent mixture of hexane/methylene dichloride (n-Hex/CH2Cl2 = 2/1, V/V). VE played very important roles in decreasing cationicity of the growing chain ends, suppressing side reactions of chain transfer and termination during polymerization, leading to production of high molecular weight PIBs. PIBs with high yields, having very high weight-average molecular weight (Mw ) of 1117000 and 370000 g/mol could be synthesized with H2O/AlCl3 /VE initiating system at VE concentration of 5.4 mmol/L at 80 and 60℃ respectively. Molecular weight of PIB increased remarkably with increasing VE concentration. The reaction order with respect to VE concentration was determined to be 3.52 via FTIR spectroscopy in combination with a diamond tipped attenuated total reflectance (ATR) immersion probe. The negative reaction order of VE was consistent with its retarding effect on IB polymerization by interacting with the propagating species. Molecular weight of PIB decreased with increasing polymerization temperature. The activation energy for polymerization degree (EDP ) could be determined to be around 23 kJ/mol when VE concentration was 5.4 mmol/L or 6.4 mmol/L.     

STUDIES ON THE KINETICS OF PROPYLENE POLYMERIZATION WITH THE COMPLEXTYPE TiCl_3 CATALYST

The active center concentration C_p, the rate constant k_p, and the activation energy of chain propagation E_p in the polymerization of propylene with complex-type TiCl_3-(C_2H_5)_2AlCl catalyst system were studied. The Mn was corrected by (?) value determined by GPC. The values thus obtained for C_p, k_p, and E_p at 50℃were 3.01 mol/mol Ti, 6.27 1/mol·sec, and 5.10 Kcal/mol respectively.The kinetic parameters were compared with those obtained from conventional TiCl_3·AlCl_2 catalyst, showing that the higher activity of the complex-type catalyst over the conventional catalyst is not only due to the higher C_p of the former, but to a greater extent due to the increase of the k_p value.     

Ethylene/1-hexene copolymerization with TiCl4/MgCl2/AlCl3 catalyst in the presence of hydrogen

A TiCl₄/AlCl₃/MgCl₂ (Cat-B) catalyst containing 5.2 wt.% Al was prepared by the reaction of TiCl₄ with ethanol adduct of AlCl₃/MgCl₂ mixture. A TiCl₄/MgCl₂ catalyst (Cat-A) without doped AlCl₃ was also prepared by the same method. Ethylene-1-hexene copolymerization catalyzed by Cat-B in the presence of hydrogen showed slightly higher efficiency and higher 1-hexene incorporation than Cat-A. Comonomer incorporation was markedly increased when the cocatalyst AlEt₃ was replaced by Al(i-Bu)₃. Adding Ph₂Si(OMe)₂ as external donor in the catalyst system caused decrease in polymerization activity and 1-hexene incorporation. Each copolymer sample was fractionated into three fractions: n-heptane insoluble fraction (fraction A), n-heptane soluble and n-hexane insoluble fraction (fraction B) and n-hexane soluble fraction (fraction C). In most cases the amount of intermediate fraction (fraction B) was smaller than the other fractions and did not increase as the total 1-hexene content increase, indicating the presence of two classes of copolymer fractions with greatly different comonomer content and clear bimodality of the copolymer composition distribution. Doping AlCl₃ in the catalyst, changing cocatalyst and adding external donor mainly changed the weight ratio of fraction A to fraction C, but exerted little influences on their composition. According to the sequence distribution data of the fractions, doping AlCl₃ in the catalyst resulted in slight decrease of product of reactivity ratios (r₁r₂) in both fraction A and fraction C.     

Comparison of the Mechanism and Kinetics of Living Carbocationic Isobutylene and Styrene Polymerizations Based on Real-Time FTIR Monitoring

This paper will compare the mechanism and kinetics of living carbocationic polymerization of isobutylene (IB) and styrene (St), initiated by the 2-chloro-2,4,4-trimethyl-pentane (TMPCl) / TiCl₄) system in 60/40 (v/v) methylcyclohexane / methyl chloride mixed solvent at −80 and −75 °C. The rate of initiation was found to be first order in TiCl₄ in both systems. While initiation is instantaneous in IB polymerization at [TiCl₄]₀ ⩾ [TMPCl]₀, it is slow in St polymerization. Kinetic derivation showed that initiating efficiency is dependent on [M] in this latter system, which was also demonstrated experimentally. The apparent initiation rate constant was determined from initiator consumption rate data and was found to be k_i,app = 1.39 l²/mol²sec. The rate of St consumption measured using a real time fibre-optic mid-FTIR monitoring technique compared well with gravimetric data and was found to be closer to first order in TiCl₄ at [TiCl₄]₀ < [TMPCl]₀. However, the rate followed a close to second order in TiCl₄ at [TiCl₄]₀ ⩾ [TMPCl]₀. The mechanistic model proposed earlier for living carbocationic IB polymerization, which yielded good agreement with experimental data, seems to apply to carbocationic St polymerization as well. This model reconciles the discrepancy between rate constants published for carbocationic IB and St polymerizations, and accounts for shifting TiCl₄ orders. However, independent investigations are necessary to verify the proposed mechanistic model. Optimized conditions led to living carbocationic St polymerization producing high molecular weight PS with 100% initiating efficiency.     

Synthesis of tertiary-butyl acrylate polymers and preparation of diblock copolymers using atom transfer radical polymerization

The synthesis of tert-butyl acrylate by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) is reported. This polymer was prepared using FeCl₂ · 4H₂O(PPh₃)₂ catalyst system in conjunction with methyl 2-bromopropionate as initiator, in bulk and in solution using acetone as a solvent. The addition of solvent was necessary in order to decrease the polymerization rate and to afford low polydispersity polymers. The number-average molecular weights of the resulting polymers increased in direct proportion to the monomer conversion, and the polydispersities (M_w/M_n) were as low as 1.2. In addition, the preparation of an AB diblock copolymer of poly (n-butyl methacrylate)-block-poly (tert-butyl acrylate) by ATRP is reported. The resulting polymers and copolymers were characterized by means of size exclusion chromatography and ¹H-NMR Spectroscopy.     

Similarities and differences of epoxide, aldehyde and peroxide initiators for Cp2TiCl-catalyzed styrene living radical polymerizations

Cp₂TiCl is the first example of a single electron transfer (SET) agent that both provides initiating radicals from three different types of functionalities (i.e. radical ring opening of epoxides and reduction of aldehydes and peroxides) and doubles as mediator for the living radical polymerization of styrene (St) by reversibly endcapping the growing polymer chains. An initiator (I) comparison was performed using 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether (BDE), benzaldehyde (BA) and benzoyl peroxide (BPO) as models. The investigation of the effect of reaction variables was carried out over a wide range of experimental conditions ([Cp₂TiCl₂]/[I] = 0.5/1-4/1; [Zn]/[Cp₂TiCl₂] = 0.5/1-3/1, [St]/[I] = 50/1-400/1 and T = 60-130 °C) to reveal living polymerization features such as a linear dependence of molecular weight on conversion and narrow molecular weight distribution (M_w/M_n) for each initiator class. However, progressively lower polydispersities and larger initiator efficiencies are obtained with increasing the [Cp₂TiCl₂]/[I] and [Zn]/[Cp₂TiCl₂] ratios and with decreasing temperature. Accordingly, optimum conditions correspond to [St]/[I]/[Cp₂TiCl₂]/[Zn] = [50-200]/[1]/[2-3]/[4-6] at 70-90 °C. By contrast to peroxides, aldehydes and the more reactive epoxides provide alcohol end groups useful in block or graft copolymers synthesis.     

Strukturchemie titanorganischer verbindungen: Molekül- und kristallstruktur von [{(π-C5H5)2Ti(H2O)}2O](ClO4)2 · 2 H2O

(π-C₅H₅)₂TiCl₂ and cobaltous perchlorate react in aqueous solution to give [{(π-C₅H₅)₂Ti(H₂O)}₂O](ClO₄)₂ · 2 H₂O (I). Compound I crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Fdd2 with Z 8 and lattice parameters a 28.893(5), b 17.433(4), c 10.312(3) Å. Results of an X-ray analysis of I (R 0.061): the (crystallographic) symmetry of the complex cation is C₂-2; Ti exhibits pseudotetrahedral coordination with a water molecule as one of the ligands; Ti—μ-O distance 1.83 Å; Ti—μ-O—Ti angle 176°; the geometry of the (π-C₅H₅)₂Ti unit in I corresponds closely to that in (π-C₅H₅)₂TiCl₂.     

Modification effect of spherical zirconia with SiCl4 as a support of methylaluminoxane for heterogeneous single-site catalyst

Unmodified and SiCl₄-modified spherical zirconia-supported methylaluminoxane were used as cocatalyst for propylene polymerization as well as ethylene/1-hexene copolymerization in combined with Me₂Si(η³-C₁₃H₈)(η¹-N^tBu)TiMe₂ (1) at 0 °C. The modification with SiCl₄ improved the catalytic activity. The improvement was clearer in ethylene/1-hexene copolymerization than in propylene polymerization. The number average molecular weight (M_n) of polypropylenes increased linearly against the polymerization time regardless the cocatalyst used to give polymers with narrow molecular weight distribution (M_w/M_n < 1.32), indicating the living nature of the catalytic systems. Thus, propagation rate constant (k_p) and the number of active centers (C^*) were evaluated from M_n and the number of polymer-chains. When the zirconia was modified with SiCl₄, the k_p value decreased and the C^* increased. The latter effect was more significant to enhance the catalytic activity.     

Living carbocationic copolymerization of isobutylene with styrene

The carbocationic copolymerization of isobutylene (IB) and styrene (St), initiated by 2‐chloro‐2,4,4‐trimethylpentane/TiCl₄ in 60/40 (v/v) methyl chloride/hexane at ?90 °C, was investigated. At a low total concentration (0.5 mol/L), slow initiation and rapid monomer conversion were observed. At a high total comonomer concentration (3 mol/L), living conditions (a linear semilogarithmic rate and M_n–conversion plots) were found, provided that the St concentration was above a critical value ([St]₀ ～ 0.6 mol/L). The breadth of the molecular weight distribution decreased with increasing IB concentration in the feed, reaching M_w/M_n ～ 1.1. St homopolymerization was also living at a high total concentration, yielding polystyrene with M_n = 82,000 g/mol, the highest molecular weight ever achieved in carbocationic St polymerization. An analysis of this system by both the traditional gravimetric–NMR copolymer composition method and FTIR demonstrated penultimate effects. IB enrichment was found in the copolymers at all feed compositions, with very little drift at a high total concentration and above the critical St concentration. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Living Carbocationic Polymerization. LVII. Kinetic Treatment of Living Carbocationic Polymerization Mediated by the Common Ion Effect

Abstract

The effect of anion concentration on the apparent rate constant of polymerization k^A _p of isobutylene (IB) induced by the 2-chloro-2,4,4-trimethylpentane (TMPCl)/TiCl₄ initiating system using the CH₂Cl₂/nC₆H₁₄ (60/40 v/v) solvent system at ?40 and ?80°C was studied by the use of nBu₄NCl. Computer simulation has shown that k^A _p decreases several orders of magnitude upon the addition of even a very small amount of common anion TiCl^?- ₅ to the charge. The rate of change is reduced in the concentration range of experimental interest. It was concluded that the decrease of k^A _p with increasing TiCl ^?- ₅ concentration is mainly due to the decreasing contribution of propagation by free ions. The contribution (%) of propagation by free ions to the apparent rate of propagation was calculated.     

Three-dimensional five-connected coordination polymer [M2(C3H2O4)2(H2O)2(μ2-hmt)]n with 46 topologies (M=Zn, Cu; hmt=hexamethylenetetramine)

Two novel three-dimensional five-connected coordination polymers [M₂(C₃H₂O₄)₂(H₂O)₂(μ₂-hmt)]_n with 4⁴6⁶ topologies (M=Zn, Cu; hmt=hexamethylenetetramine) were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, crystal structure, IR, thermal gravimetric analyses. Both [Zn₂(C₃H₂O₄)₂(H₂O)₂(μ₂-hmt)]_n and [Cu₂(C₃H₂O₄)₂(H₂O)₂(μ₂-hmt)]_n all crystallize in the orthorhombic system, space group Imm2, and with Z=2. Metal ions have all octahedral geometry coordinated by four oxygen atoms from three malonates, one oxygen atom from a water molecule and one nitrogen atom of hmt ligand. Each malonate binds a metal ion with its two oxygen atoms in a chelating mode and connects to adjacent two metal ions with another two oxygen atoms to form an infinite wavy layer. The layers are bridged by μ₂-hmt molecules to form a three-dimensional framework with channels. The magnetic susceptibility data show there is a weak antiferromagnetic exchange interaction in the complex [Cu₂(C₃H₂O₄)₂(H₂O)₂(μ₂-hmt)]_n.     

H2O/TiCl4/ED 体系引发异丁烯控制正离子聚合中的影响因素研究

在亲核试剂(ED)如吡啶(Py)、N,N-二甲基乙酰胺(DMA)或三乙胺(TEA)存在下,由引发剂H2O和共引发剂TiCl4组成引发体系,在二氯甲烷/正己烷混合溶剂中进行异丁烯(IB)正离子聚合,考察了溶剂极性、聚合温度及异丁烯浓度对聚合反应转化率、产物分子量和分子量分布的影响.试验结果表明,随聚合体系溶剂极性增大,聚合速率加快,相近转化率时聚合产物的分子量分布变窄.随着聚合温度降低,聚合速率明显提高,聚合物的分子量增加,活化能为负值,活性链端发生链转移或链终止等副反应的几率减小,当聚合温度为-60℃时,可以抑制活性链端的β-H脱除反应和链转移副反应,并得到大分子链末端全部为叔氯基团的聚异丁烯(PIB).当[IB]0≤2.5mol/L时,随[IB]0增加,聚合转化率有所增加,聚合产物的GPC谱图均为单峰分布,分子量增大,而分子量分布基本保持不变,对于加入Py的聚合体系,分子量分布指数在1.33~1.45范围内,对于加入TEA的聚合体系,分子量分布指数在1.47~1.60范围内,并求出在加入Py和TEA的聚合体系中活性链向单体的链转移常数CM分别为5.5×10-4和6.6×10-4.
