Reversible Catalyst Supporting via Hydrogen-Bonding-Mediated Self-Assembly for Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization of MMA
摘要:
Atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) is a very useful living/controlled radical polymerization process for polymer synthesis, but its products are contaminated with transition metal catalyst residue. Catalyst immobilization on solids via covalent binding has the advantages of easy catalyst separation and reuse, but it deteriorates the control of the polymerization due to the slowed radical deactivation, which causes chain termination and uncontrolled propagation. In this paper, we report a reversible catalyst supporting concept via hydrogen-bonding-mediated self-assembly. The support acts as a "catalyst sponge" releasing the catalyst as free molecules at elevated temperatures for effective catalysis but absorbing the catalyst after the polymerization for separation. The support was polystyrene gel functionalized with maleimide or thymine units, and the catalyst was tethered on a diaminopyridine unit. A triple hydrogen bond array formed between maleimide or thymine and diaminopyridine at room temperature but broke at elevated temperatures. At 60 degreesC, the reversibly supported catalyst efficiently polymerized MMA in a well-controlled living manner, yielding PMMA with polydispersity as low as those by unsupported catalysts. The recycled catalysts still mediated MMA polymerization with a much improved control.
