Mono-telechelic polymers by catalytic living ring-opening metathesis polymerization with second-generation Hoveyda–Grubbs catalyst

Liu, Peng ; Dong, Zhenghao ; Kilbinger, Andreas F. M.

In: Materials Chemistry Frontiers, 2020, vol. 4, no. 9, p. 2791–2796

The second-generation Hoveyda–Grubbs (HG2) catalyst, which has a small initiation to propagation rate ratio (ki/kp) in ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP), was successfully used in a recently developed catalytic living ROMP. This proved that slow-initiating catalysts can enable ROMP in a living fashion to produce polymers with narrow dispersity and controlled molecular weight. The...

Telechelics based on catalytic alternating ring-opening metathesis polymerization

Pal, Subhajit ; Alizadeh, Mahshid ; Kilbinger, Andreas F. M.

In: ACS Macro Letters, 2019, vol. 8, no. 10, p. 1396–1401

We describe a protocol to synthesize alternating telechelic ROMP copolymers of 7- oxa-norbornene derivatives and cycloalkenes under catalytic conditions. These copolymers were synthesized using Grubbs’ second-generation catalyst. The sterically less hindered backbone double bonds of the resulting alternating copolymers facilitate the chain transfer (secondary metathesis) reactions. In the ...

Synthesis of telechelic poly(p-benzamide)s

Alizadeh, Mahshid ; Kilbinger, Andreas F. M.

In: Macromolecules, 2018, vol. 51, no. 11, p. 4363–4369

Well-defined telechelic poly(benzamide)s were synthesized by chain-growth polycondensation of phenyl-4-amino benzoate and pentafluorophenyl-4-amino benzoate derivatives with a bifunctional initiator in the presence of LiTMP as base. The polymerization was carried out at −70 °C to prevent self-initiated polymerization. To confirm the control over molecular weight, different defined...

Functional metathesis catalyst through ring closing enyne metathesis: one pot protocol for living heterotelechelic polymers

Pal, Subhajit ; Lucarini, Fiorella ; Ruggi, Albert ; Kilbinger, Andreas F. M.

In: Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2018, vol. 140, no. 9, p. 3181–3185

Enyne ring closing metathesis has been used to synthesize functional group carrying metathesis catalysts from a commercial (Ru-benzylidene) Grubbs’ catalysts. The new Grubbs-type ruthenium carbene was used to synthesize living heterotelechelic ROMP polymers without any intermediate purification. Olefin metathesis with a mono substituted alkyne followed by ring closing metathesis with an...

Facile synthesis of a high molecular weight amphiphilic aramid–ROMP block copolymer

Badoux, Michael ; Drechsler, Susanne ; Pal, Subhajit ; Kilbinger, Andreas F. M.

In: Macromolecules, 2017, vol. 50, no. 23, p. 9307–9314

Herein we report the facile synthesis of an amphiphilic rod–coil block copolymer obtained by the coupling of an amine-terminated poly(dimethylpropylamine norbornene imide) (PDMAPNI) and a pentafluorophenol ester-terminated poly(dimethoxybenzyl p-aminobenzoate) (PAram). Postpolymerization amide N- deprotection of the block copolymer yielded a strongly aggregating water-soluble rod– coil...

In: Macromolecules, 2017, vol. 50, no. 11, p. 4188–4197

The polymerization of aromatic para-amino acid ester derivatives was studied using model compounds. Mechanistic and kinetic experiments led to the discovery of some side reactions. Finally, high molecular weight poly(p-benzamide)s were synthesized and characterized. The use of highly reactive pentafluorophenol ester lead to polymers up to molecular weights of around 50 000 Da....

Enolesters as chain end-functionalizing agents for the living ring opening metathesis polymerization

Liu, Peng ; Yasir, Mohammad ; Kurzen, Helena ; Hanik, Nils ; Schäfer, Mark ; Kilbinger, Andreas F. M.

In: Journal of Polymer Science Part A: Polymer Chemistry, 2017, vol. 55, no. 18, p. 2983–2990

Functional enolethers have previously been used to introduce functional end groups at the chain end of ruthenium carbene complex initiated living ring opening metathesis polymers. Here, we investigated whether the weaker π-donating enolesters could equally be used in regio selective reactions with ruthenium carbene complexes and thus as polymer end-functionalization reagents. Enolesters such as...

Mechanically induced cis-to-trans isomerization of carbon–carbon double bonds using atomic force microscopy

In: Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, 2016, vol. 18, no. 45, p. 31202–31210

Cis-to-trans isomerization of carbon–carbon double bonds can be induced by the application of mechanical force. Using single molecule force spectroscopy by means of atomic force microscopy (AFM) we pulled polymer molecules which contained cis double bonds in the backbone. In the force versus extension profiles of these polymers, a sudden extension increase is observed which is due to the...

Tuning the solubility of hepta(p-benzamide)s via the monomer sequence

Seyler, Helga ; Kilbinger, Andreas

In: Tetrahedron Letters, 2012, p. -

The automated synthesis of hepta(p-benzamide) hetero sequences on solid support using a modified peptide synthesizer is reported. The oligomers are synthesized from 4-aminobenzoic acid and 4-amino-2-(hexyloxy)benzoic acid, the latter carrying a solubilizing hexyl side chain. It is known from previous studies that both the unsubstituted hepta(p-benzamide) and the fully hexyloxy-substituted...

ROMP copolymers for orthogonal click functionalizations

Schaefer, Mark ; Hanik, Nils ; Kilbinger, Andreas F. M.

In: Macromolecules, 2012, p. -

The ring-opening metathesis polymerization using ruthenium carbene initiators developed by Grubbs et al. is one of the most functional group tolerant living polymerization methods known. One of the most used postpolymerization functionalization methods used today is the copper-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition between alkynes and organic azides. Organic azides are, however, not tolerated by...
