Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to a class of boron-nitrogen polymers and their preparation methods, belonging to the field of polymer materials. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, replacing C=C double bonds with boron-nitrogen (BN) single bonds has been an effective strategy for enriching and innovating organic materials. Therefore, research on using this strategy to regulate material properties has received widespread attention. Boron atoms can be considered isoelectronic of carbocations, and nitrogen atoms can be considered isoelectronic of carbanions. When one boron atom and one nitrogen atom replace two carbon atoms respectively, an isoelectronic all-carbon molecule is obtained. Since the total number of valence electrons remains unchanged, the new compound exhibits certain similarities in properties to its all-carbon isoelectronic counterpart. However, because the boron-nitrogen bond forms a boron-nitrogen dipole within the molecule, the charge distribution at various positions is no longer uniform. Therefore, it also affects molecular properties, including electron cloud distribution, optical properties, and redox potential, thus showing potential application value in multiple fields such as materials science, biomedicine, catalysis, and organic synthesis.
[0003] In recent years, numerous scientists have conducted research on boron-nitrogen compounds, synthesizing various types of boron-nitrogen heterocyclic compounds, including 1,2-boron-nitrogen heterocyclic fused ring compounds, 1,3-boron-nitrogen heterocyclic fused ring compounds, and 1,4-boron-nitrogen heterocyclic fused ring compounds, etc. Studies have shown that these boron-nitrogen heterocyclic fused ring compounds possess excellent photoelectric properties. Although significant progress has been made in the performance research of boron-nitrogen heterocyclic fused ring compounds in recent years, research on polymers with boron-nitrogen heterocyclic conjugated skeletons remains very limited. This is because a suitable polymerization method for synthesizing such polymers has not yet been developed. The development of new polymerization reactions has always been of great significance to polymer research and is a scientific issue of widespread interest to polymer scientists. Therefore, developing a new polymerization method to prepare boron-nitrogen polymers with novel structures is of great importance for the research of boron-nitrogen polymer materials.
