Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the fields of polymer chemistry and materials science, and in particular to a method for preparing and applying polythioamide compounds. Background Technology

[0002] Polythioamides have attracted attention due to their excellent properties, such as luminescence. However, while there are many reported methods for synthesizing polythioamides, their development is limited by the complexity and high cost of raw materials. The reported synthesis methods also have certain drawbacks, severely hindering the development and application of polythioamides. The synthesis methods for polythioamides are shown in formula (I). Method A: In 1999, Japanese scientists developed a multi-component polymerization method for preparing polythioamides using elemental sulfur, aromatic aldehydes, and aliphatic amines. Method B: In 2015, our research group reported a multi-component polymerization method for preparing polythioamides using elemental sulfur, aromatic alkynes, and aliphatic amines. Method C: In 2017, Professor Chen Youming's research group synthesized polythioamides using a three-component polymerization of elemental sulfur, benzylamine, and aliphatic amines; however, the substrate applicability of this method is relatively limited. Method D: Tang Benzhong's research group efficiently prepared polythioamides using multi-component polymerization of phenylacetic acid monomers with elemental sulfur and diamine monomers. Method E: Tang Benzhong's research group prepared polythioamides using pyridine-activated diyne as a monomer at room temperature or 40°C. However, these methods for preparing polythioamides have a problem: the monomers are expensive.

[0003] Therefore, it is essential to explore new methods for preparing polythioamides, develop more efficient and convenient polymerization systems, and explore new applications for polythioamides. Literature review reveals that elemental sulfur is a simple, inexpensive, and readily available raw material. Using elemental sulfur as a raw material not only reduces costs but also allows for wider applications in industrial production, particularly in polymer synthesis, where it imparts excellent mechanical and processability properties. Literature research indicates that the reactivity of halogenated hydrocarbons is as follows: 1,4-di(iodomethyl)benzene > 1,4-di(bromomethyl)benzene > 1,4-di(chloromethyl)benzene. Among halogenated hydrocarbons, 1,4-di(bromomethyl)benzene is a relatively inexpensive commercial monomer. Therefore, utilizing elemental sulfur and some commercial monomers to achieve low-cost and large-scale preparation of polythioamides holds promise for its further development.

[0074] Add 96 mg (3 mmol) of monomer M1, (1 mmol, 264 mg) of M2, and (1 mmol, 116.2 mg) of M3 to a 10 mL polymerization tube. Then, add 2 mL of N,N-dimethylformamide and 1 mL of N-methylpiperidine sequentially using a syringe. Raise the temperature to 90 °C and maintain the temperature while stirring at 360 rpm for 8 hours. After the reaction is complete, dissolve the mother liquor in 2 mL of DMSO and then add it dropwise to methanol. Allow the mixture to stand, filter, and dry at 20 °C to obtain the polythioamide compound P1.

[0075] Analysis showed that the yield of polythioamide compound P1 was 91%, with a weight-average molecular weight of 11300 and a molecular weight distribution of 1.55. A comparison of the proton NMR spectra of this polythioamide compound and its corresponding monomer (* represents solvent peaks) is shown below. Figure 1 The comparison of their carbon NMR spectra is as follows: Figure 2 , Figure 1 The chemical shift at 10.34 ppm corresponds to the characteristic peak of the hydrogen atom on the -NH atom in the polythioamide compound. Figure 2 The chemical shift of 196.53 ppm corresponds to the characteristic peak of the carbon atom at C=S in polythioamide compounds, therefore, the polymer can be identified as a polythioamide compound. Furthermore, Figure 3 The images show the infrared absorption spectra of the polythioamide compound, its corresponding monomer, and the model compound prepared in Example 1 of this invention. Figure 3 The formation of the C=S peak can also be observed in the middle. Figure 4 The thermogravimetric curve of P1 is shown below. Figure 4 As can be seen, the temperature corresponding to a 5% weight loss is 268℃, indicating good thermal stability. Figure 5 For the DSC curve of P1, from Figure 5 It can be seen that the glass transition temperature of P1 is 126℃, which is much lower than its thermal decomposition temperature, thus ensuring the thermal processing performance of this type of compound.
