Facile synthesis of recyclable polythioimidocarbonates via aromatization-driven alternating copolymerization of para-quinone methide and isothiocyanates†
The efficient and controllable alternating copolymerization of para-Quinone Methide (p-QM) is rare and challenging. The aromatization-driven alternating copolymerization of p-QM with isothiocyanates is explored for the first time under mild conditions. In the presence of the key catalyst m-phthalic acid and the initiator TBD, the reaction can efficiently produce completely alternating polythioimidocarbonates with narrow molecular weight distributions and high molar mass (up to 103.6 kg mol−1). Experimental studies and DFT calculations suggest that m-phthalic acid plays a synergistic catalytic role. Remarkably, copolymers can be recycled back into monomers with excellent yields under vacuum at a temperature of 190 °C in just a few minutes without solvents or catalysts.
期刊介绍:
Chemical Science is a journal that encompasses various disciplines within the chemical sciences. Its scope includes publishing ground-breaking research with significant implications for its respective field, as well as appealing to a wider audience in related areas. To be considered for publication, articles must showcase innovative and original advances in their field of study and be presented in a manner that is understandable to scientists from diverse backgrounds. However, the journal generally does not publish highly specialized research.
