Controlled radical polymerization of alkyl acrylates and styrene using a half-sandwich molybdenum(III) complex containing diazadiene ligands

2003

Abstract The half-sandwich molybdenum(III) complex CpMoCl 2 ( i Pr 2 -dad) ( i Pr 2 -dad= i Pr–NCH–CHN– i Pr) proved to be an effective metal catalyst for the controlled radical polymerization of methyl acrylate, butyl acrylate, and styrene. In conjunction with an alkyl iodide [R–I: CH 3 CH(COOEt)I] as an initiator and in the presence or absence of Al(O– i -Pr) 3 as a co-catalyst, the molybdenum-based system gave polymers with narrow molecular weight distributions. The in situ addition of styrene to a macroinitiator of poly(methylacrylate) afforded an AB-type block copolymer.

Nitronyl Nitroxide Radicals Linked to Exchange‐Coupled Metal Dimers – Studies Using X‐ray Crystallography, Magnetic Susceptibility Measurements, EPR …

2009

To study long-range magnetic interactions between exchange-coupled metal centers and a radical moiety coordinated through a peripheral group, three new homodimetallic complexes with MnII, CoII, and ZnII bridged by a nitronyl nitroxide (NIT) substituted benzoate ligand with the structure [(NIT-C6H4-COO)M2(LR)](ClO4)2 {M = MnII, CoII, and ZnII; NIT = nitronyl nitroxide and LR = N,N,N′,N′-tetrakis(2-benzimidazolylalkyl)-2-hydroxy-1,3-diaminopropane} have been prepared and studied by X-ray crystallography, magnetic susceptibility measurements, EPR spectroscopy, and density functional theory calculations. For comparison, related complexes with MnII and CoII bridged by a diamagnetic nitrobenzoate…

Magnetic Exchange Interaction in Nitronyl Nitroxide Radical-Based Single Crystals of 3d Metal Complexes: A Combined Experimental and Theoretical Study

2018

Two stable nitronyl nitroxide free radicals {R1 = 4′-methoxy-phenyl-4,4,5,5,-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide (NNPhOMe) and R2 = 2-(2′-thienyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline 3-oxide 1-oxyl (NNT)} are successfully synthesized using Ullmann condensation. The reactions of these two radicals with 3d transition metal ions, in the form of M(hfac)2 (where M = Co or Mn, hfac: hexafluoroacetylacetone), result in four metal–organic complexes Co(hfac)2(NNPhOMe)2, 1; Co(hfac)2(NNT)2·(H2O), 2; Mn(hfac)2(NNPhOMe)·x(C7H16), 3; and Mn(hfac)2(NNT)2, 4. The crystal structure and magnetic properties of these complexes are investigated by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, dc magnetization, infrared, and …

Organic Polyradicals as Redox Mediators: Effect of Intramolecular Radical Interactions on Their Efficiency

2020

The spin–spin interactions between unpaired electrons in organic (poly)radicals, especially nitroxides, are largely investigated and are of crucial importance for their applications in areas such as organic magnetism, molecular charge transfer, or multiple spin labeling in structural biology. Recently, 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinyloxyl and polymers functionalized with nitroxides have been described as successful redox mediators in several electrochemical applications; however, the study of spin–spin interaction effect in such an area is absent. This communication reports the preparation of a novel family of discrete polynitroxide molecules, with the same number of radical units but differe…

Star-Like Polymers of tert -Butyl Acrylate via Controlled Radical Polymerization - Synthesis and Properties

2011

Summary: Star polymers with different numbers and lengths of poly(tert-butyl acrylate) arms were obtained by the core-first method via atom transfer and iodine mediated radical polymerization. Multifunctional initiators with different numbers of initiating groups (from 3 to 28) were used to initiate the polymerization of tert-butyl acrylate, yielding stars with different numbers of arms. The structures of the stars were characterized by NMR and gel permeation chromatography with refractive index, multiangle laser light scattering and viscosimetric detectors.

Grafting of Hindered Phenol Groups onto Ethylene/α-Olefin Copolymer by Nitroxide Radical Coupling

2017

The covalent immobilization of hindered phenol groups, with potential antioxidant activity, onto an ethylene/α-olefin (EOC) copolymer was carried out by the nitroxide radical coupling (NRC) reaction performed in the melt with a peroxide and the 3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzoyl-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl radical (BHB-T). Functionalized EOC (EOC-g-(BHB-T)) was exposed to photo- and thermo-oxidation. By comparison with some model compounds bearing the (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-yl)oxyl (TEMPO) moiety or the hindered phenol unit, it was observed that the grafted BHB-T could effectively help the stabilization of the polymer matrix both under photo- and thermo-oxidation. In addit…

Metal complexes of a picolinate-based nitronyl nitroxide free radical.

2009

A nitronyl nitroxide free radical containing an appended picolinate moiety was synthesized. The resulting tridentate ligand picNN forms neutral mononuclear metal complexes of formula [M(picNN)(2)].3H(2)O (M = Mn, Co, Ni, Zn). These compounds are isostructural and crystallize in the orthorhombic Pnna space group. The metal complexes have a C(2) symmetric structure, with the metal centers lying on the binary axis and surrounded by two equivalent picNN radicals. The magnetic properties of this family of compounds indicate the presence of very strong metal-radical exchange interactions, ranging from J(Ni-rad) = -193 cm(-1) to J(Mn-rad) = -98 cm(-1). Relatively weak (J(rad-rad) = -15 cm(-1)) thr…
