Phosphasalen group IV metal complexes: synthesis, characterization and ring opening polymerization of lactide.
2020
International audience; We report the synthesis of a series of Zr and Ti complexes bearing phosphasalen which differs from salen by the incorporation of two P atoms in the ligand backbone. The reaction of phosphasalen proligands (1a-1c)H2 with Zr(CH2Ph)4 led to different products depending on the nature of the N,N-linker in the ligand. In case of ethylene-linked phosphasalen, octahedral Zr complex 2a formed as a single stereoisomer in trans geometry. With the phenylene linker, it was shown by dynamic NMR spectroscopy that complex 2b exists as a mixture of trans and cis-β isomers in solution, both enantiomers (Δ and Λ) of the cis-β isomer being in fast equilibrium with respect to the NMR tim…
Ring opening polymerization of d,l-lactide and ε-caprolactone catalysed by (pyrazol-1-yl)copper(ii) carboxylate complexes
2021
1,2-Bis{(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)methyl}benzene (L) reacts with [Cu(OAc)2] and C6H5COOH, 4-OH-C6H4COOH, 2-Cl-C6H4COOH and (3,5-NO2)2-C6H3COOH to afford the copper complexes [Cu2(C6H5COO)4(L)2] (1), [Cu2(4-OH-C6H4COO)4(L)2] (2), [Cu2(2-Cl-C6H4COO)4(L)2]n (3) and [Cu{(3,5-NO2)2-C6H3COO}2L]n (4) which are characterised by IR, mass spectrometry, elemental analyses, and X-ray crystallography. The structural data revealed two geometries that are adopted by the complexes: (i) paddle wheel in 1, 2·7H2O, 3 and (ii) regular chains in 3 and 4. Magnetic studies show strong antiferromagnetic couplings in the paddle wheel complexes and a weak antiferromagnetic coupling in the monometallic chain one. Cat…

Some New Copolymers by Ionic Polymerization
1980
In the first part the cationic polymerization of a homologous series of cyclic ether–acetals with ring sizes of 11, 14, and 17 atoms is described. During the polymerization of triethylene glycol formal (TGF) an equilibrium is reached and besides high polymers cyclic oligomers are formed. The oligomers and the polymers are built up of a regular sequence of one oxymethylene unit and three oxyethylene units –[–(OCH2) (OC2H4)3–]–x. They are therefore be labelled a “sequenced copolymer.” The equilibrium concentrations of the cyclic oligomers with a polymerization degree from 2 to 15 follow the Jacobson–Stockmayer equation. The 14- and 17-membered monomers POC and HOC forms cyclic oligomers and h…
On thermal behaviour of DMC catalysts for ring opening polymerization of epoxides
2016
Abstract The thermoanalytical studies of two types of the double metal cyanide catalysts were carried out. The identity of the catalysts was characterized by an elemental analysis and FTIR. The thermoanalytical examinations performed with the use of TG-DSC, EGA-FTIR, EGA-MS shed new light on views of the bonding of the ligands in the DMC. The chemical justification of the processes responsible for the TG/DSC steps was proposed. Several organic ligand complexing states were found in both types of catalysts. The ligand-DMC bondings were decomposing stepwise in relatively low temperature ranges, which could suggest their negligible role at catalytic reaction being performed usually at higher t…

Long-Chain Branched Poly(Lactide)s Based on Polycondensation of AB2 -type Macromonomers
2012
A series of long-chain branched poly(d-/l-lactide)s is synthesized in a two-step protocol by (1) ring-opening polymerization of lactide and (2) subsequent condensation of the preformed AB2 macromonomers promoted by different coupling reagents. The linear AB2 macromonomers are prepared by Sn(Oct)2-catalyzed ROP of D- and L-lactide with 2,2-bis(hydroxymethyl)butyric acid (BHB) as an initiator. Optimization of the polymerization conditions allows for the preparation of well-defined macromonomers (Mw/Mn = 1.09–1.30) with adjustable molecular weights (760–7200 g mol−1). The two-step approach of the synthesis comprises as well the coupling of these AB2 macromonomers and hence allows precise contr…
Aliphatic Hyperbranched Copolyesters by Combination of ROP and AB2-Polycondensation
2005
Hyperbranched aliphatic copolyesters have been prepared by the copolymerization of e-caprolactone and 2,2-bis(hydroxymethyl)butyric acid (AB 2 -monomer), catalyzed by (i) HfCl 4 (THF) 2 and (ii) diphenylammonium trifluoromethanesulfonate (DPAT), respectively. In both cases, copolymerization by combined ROP/AB 2 -Polycondensation was achieved. The degree of branching (DB) and consequently the density of functional groups of the resulting copolyesters were controlled by the comonomer ratio in the feed. Molecular weights in the range M n =22 000-166 000 g mot -1 (GPC, PS standards) were obtained, with apparent polydispersity indices of 1.20 to 1.95. The DB was in the range 0.03-0.35. Remarkabl…
Soluble Hyperbranched Poly(glycolide) Copolymers
2010
A series of (hyper)branched poly(glycolide) copolymers has been prepared by copolymerization of glycolide (GA) with 2,2-bis(hydroxymethyl)butyric acid (BHB) via combined ROP/AB2-polycondensation. Polymerization was conducted in bulk and catalyzed by stanneous-2-ethyl hexanoate (Sn(Oct)2). The branched topology of the resulting polyesters was studied in detail by 1D- and 2D-NMR spectroscopy and confirmed by the synthesis and characterization of model compounds. The AB2 monomer BHB was incorporated either as a dendritic or focal unit, but hardly in linear or terminal mode. As expected for multifunctional polycondensation, SEC measurements showed polydisperse products with polydispersity index…
