Ring-opening polymerization of macrocyclic aryl ether ketone oligomers containing the 1,2-dibenzoylbenzene moiety

Facile ring-opening polymerization of cyclic aryl ether oligomers containing the 1,2-dibenzoylbenzene moiety to form high molecular weight linear polymers in the presence of a nucleophilic initiator is described. The polymerization can be initiated in the melt in the presence of a nucleophilic initiator such as potassium carbonate, cesium fluoride, and alkali phenoxides. Various alkali phenoxides were investigated as potential nucleophilic initiators. The polymerization reaction rate in the melt increases in the order of K⁺ > Na⁺ > Cs⁺, and in the order of ⁻OPhPhO⁻ > PhO⁻ > PhOPhO⁻ > PhPhO⁻. However, the polymerization in an aprotic dipolar solvent is faster in the presence of cesium phenoxide than in the presence of potassium phenoxide. Polymerization of the cyclic oligomers in solution demonstrates that the ring-opening polymerization proceeds via a chain-growth mechanism and involves a transetherification reaction between linear and cyclic aryl ether oligomers. The ring-chain equilibrium is much more favorable towards linear polymers. Since little or no ring strain exists in the cyclic system, the transetherification reactions are indiscriminate with regards to cyclic or linear chains and the interchain equilibration is also a facile process during polymerization. This intermolecular transetherification has been demonstrated by using low molecular weight aryl ethers to control the molecular weight of the polymer formed via ring-opening polymerization. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Triallylstannyllithium-allyllithium as an initiator for the anionic reversible chain transfer polymerization of 1,3-butadiene

The anionic polymerization of 1,3-butadiene using a novel metalloidal anion initiator, triallylstannyllithium (TALi)-allyllithium (ALi), was studied. The TALi-ALi initiated anionic polymerization of 1,3-butadiene gave the star polymer along with the linear polybutadiene (PBD). The star polymer consisted of three PBD branches and a central tin atom. What is striking is a fact that the number-average molecular weights (M_n) and molecular weight distribution of three PBD branches and linear PBD were almost identical. A reversible chain transfer polymerization mechanism, which includes the equilibrium between tri(macroallyl)-stannyllithium and macroallylic anion, is proposed. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

“Titration” polymerization of monovinylacetylene

A polymer consisting of a saturated carbon backbone with pendent acetylenic groups was prepared from monovinylacetylene. A titration was performed between the monomer and tertiary butyllithium, its lithiating agent. The charge transfer complex formed between the solvent THF and the tertiary butyllithium was used as an indicator of the unreacted butyllithium. Hence, a stoichiometric quantity of tertiary butyllithium was added dropwise to a solution of monovinylacetylene in THF to form lithiovinylacetylene. The addition of a slight excess of butyllithium led to the polymerization of the lithiated monomer. The obtained polymer was reprotonated and characterized. This polymerization was evaluated as a possible route to synthesize poly(vinylacetylene) with processable molecular weights, for its application as a potential carbon fiber precursor. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Chemical properties of water-soluble,nonionic azo compounds as initiators for emulsion polymerization

Four kinds of water-soluble, nonionic azo compounds were studied in terms of their decomposition rate and initiator efficiency in radical polymerization, and then used for emulsion polymerization. They had relatively low initiator efficiency from 0.09 to 0.46. It was attributed to the susceptibility to a cage effect, depending on their molecular size and hydrophobicity. Four azo compounds initiated emulsion polymerization but nonionic latex particles were not obtained unexpectedly. Methanol-containing medium results in the formation of a bimodal particle size distribution as well as a bimodal molecular weight distribution. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Anionic water-soluble sulfonated phthalocyanines: microwave-assisted synthesis,aggregation behaviours,electrochemical and in-situ spectroelectrochemical characterisation

In this work, a phthalonitrile derivative bearing p-sulfonylphenoxy group at the 3-position has been synthesised. The water-soluble non-peripherally tetrasubstituted zinc (3) and cobalt (4) phthalocyanines were obtained by cyclotetramerisation of this phthalonitrile derivative in the presence of anhydrous metal salts by microwave irradiation. The compounds have been characterised by using FT-IR, ¹H NMR, UV–Vis and Mass spectrometry (MS) data. The aggregation behaviours of these compounds were investigated in methanol, DMSO, DMF, and water. We have also studied the aggregation behaviours of the phthalocyanine complex 3 in various DMSO/water mixtures. Additionally, the redox properties of the phthalocyanine complexes were examined in dimethylsulfoxide by voltammetry and in situ spectroelectrochemistry. Redox behaviours of the complexes supported the structures of the complexes. Metal and ring-based reductions were observed for 4 and only ring-based electron transfer processes were observed with 3.

在四氢呋喃（THF）与环己烷的混合溶剂中,以正丁基锂（n-BuLi）为引发剂,采用具有较大空间位阻和特定电荷环境的P配合物为添加剂,实现了异戊二烯（Ip）和甲基丙烯酸甲酯（MMA）的阴离子嵌段共聚。分别采用GPC、^1H—NMR对聚合物的结构进行了分析表征。结果表明：随着THF与环己烷体积比的增大,单体的转化率呈现下降的趋势;同时空间位阻较大的P配合物的加入,堵塞了正、负离子对之间的部分通道,有效地抑制了MMA段聚合副反应的发生,在易于工业化的0℃之下成功合成了分子量分布窄（1．21）的聚异戊二烯一聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯嵌段共聚物（PI—b—PMMA）,并且共聚物中PI嵌段以3,4结构链节为主。
