AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies for the polymerization of polar vinyl monomers suffer from several problems: a narrow molecular weight distribution and high molecular weight cannot be achieved simultaneously; transition metal catalysts are required; reaction conditions are stringent; polymerization rates decrease as monomer concentration decreases; and different monomers are difficult to copolymerize.
Organophosphorus ylidene catalysts were used as Lewis base catalysts, combined with Lewis acids, to achieve active and controllable polymerization of polar vinyl monomers through conjugate addition polymerization, including homopolymerization, random copolymerization and block copolymerization. Organoboron and/or organoaluminum were used as Lewis acids, and the catalyst ratio and reaction conditions were optimized.
It achieves the synthesis of high molecular weight polymers (molecular weights above 106 g/mol), narrow molecular weight distribution (PDI < 1.10), high monomer conversion rate (close to 100%) and stable polymerization rate, and can achieve copolymerization of vinyl monomers with different polarities, simplifying the synthesis steps and reducing the use of precious metals.
