Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of polymer synthesis, and particularly relates to a catalytic system for stereoselective cationic polymerization of vinyl ether. Background Art

[0002] Polymer stereoregularity is a key factor influencing material properties. Atactic polypropylene is a viscoelastic fluid at room temperature, hindering its application. However, stereoregular polypropylene is one of the top ten plastics worldwide and has widespread applications in various fields. Similar to polypropylene, polyvinyl ether (PVE) is an inexpensive and high-performance polymer. However, the lack of effective stereoselective polymerization methods has hindered its development and application, resulting in its typically amorphous state, poor mechanical properties, and viscoelastic properties at room temperature. Isotactic polyvinyl ether (PVE) exhibits significant application potential due to its excellent mechanical properties (comparable to commercial low-density polyethylene), good processability (meltability, moldability, and cooling), broad monomer range, rich functional pendant groups, and potential biodegradability. Furthermore, the abundance of pendant functional groups in PVE makes it a promising material for functional applications. Unfortunately, due to the slow development of relevant stereoselective methods, isotactic PVE has yet to achieve significant industrialization.

[0003] Polyvinyl ethers are typically obtained by cationic polymerization. Stereoselective polymerization of vinyl ethers can be achieved by providing a chiral counterion environment to the cationic active species at the end of the cationic polymerization. For example, in 2019, Leibfarth's team used a catalytic system consisting of chiral phosphoric acid and titanium tetrachloride (Science 2019, 363, 1439–1443) to achieve stereoselective polymerization of various vinyl alkyl ethers, with the resulting polymers having isotacticity up to 94% m. The chiral anions of chiral phosphoric acid and titanium tetrachloride provided a stereochemical microenvironment for the cationic end of the polymerization, thereby achieving stereoselective polymerization of vinyl ethers. Although these titanium metal complexes have made great progress in catalyzing the asymmetric polymerization of vinyl ethers, metal residues in the polymers have potential implications for their applications in biomedicine and optoelectronics. Furthermore, titanium metal complexes can catalyze some side reactions of vinyl ethers, resulting in a narrow range of monomer applications.

[0004] Therefore, the development of a metal-free catalytic system with high catalytic activity, a wide range of monomer applications, and convenient synthesis is of great significance for the advancement of the stereoselective cationic polymerization of vinyl ethers. Prior art, patent publication CN115260350A discloses a method for living cationic polymerization using supramolecular anions combined with catalytic monomers. In the presence of a cationic initiator and a hydrogen bond donor, one or more electron-rich olefin monomers or other cationically polymerizable monomers are polymerized in a controlled manner to form homopolymers or copolymers. However, the hydrogen bond donor employed in this method is achiral, and the resulting polymers have difficulty exceeding 73% m in isotacticity, which limits their application. Summary of the Invention
