Abstract

Preparation of materials by nitroxide-mediated polymerization (NMP) is well known nowadays. To increase the possible usefulness of NMP for the production of hybrid materials or polymer-decorated complexes, coordination-initiated NMP (CI-NMP) was developed and investigated here. CI-NMP was exemplified using the instantaneous and spontaneous reaction of alkoxyamines carrying a pyridyl moiety on the alkyl group and the Zn(hfac)2 (hfac: hexafluoroacetylacetonate) complex as a metal centre. NMP of styrene and n-butyl acrylate was carried out with either previously or in situ-prepared complexes. Both approaches afforded NMP of the same quality. The positive influence of metal centre coordination is highlighted by efficient NMP at 90°C.

[20]  In situ preparation of a complex by merely mixing the ZnII cation and alkoxyamine is a valuable approach both for the grafting-from procedure and easy initiation of conventional NMP.

[21]  The absence of two signals in 1H NMR (one for free alkoxyamine RS/SR-3 and one for complex RS/SR-5) may be attributed to the exchange between the free alkoxyamine and the complex. Nonetheless, this exchange cannot account for the kinetics observations.

[26]  At high temperature, complex RS/SR-6 decomposes into RS/SR-5 and Zn(hfac)2.

[27]  Four-fold higher kd for RS/SR-5′ than RS/SR-3.

[28]  The same trends are expected for the RR/SS-2 diastereoisomer because it shows the same Ea as that of the RS/SR-2 diastereoisomer.

[30]  The authors are aware that similar approach has been develop for RAFT: M. Benaglia, J. Chiefari, Y. K. Chong, G. Moad, E. Rizzardo, S. H. Thang, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2009, 131, 6914. However, the authors want to stress that the activation processes and mechanisms of polymerization are different between RAFT and NMP, such as many results reported for RAFT are not observed for NMP, and conversely.

[31]  CI-NMP is expected to work with any metal centre. However, a possible antagonistic or synergistic role must be kept in mind.
