Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of polymerization, especially relates to the polymerization of lactide, in particular, relates to a zinc complex containing nitrogen-phosphorus double bond and a preparation method thereof, and application of the zinc complex as a catalyst in ring-opening polymerization of lactide. BACKGROUND

[0002] In 1920, Hermann Staudinger published the first article introducing the concept of polymerization. Over the past one hundred years, with the development of petrochemical industry, polymer materials have gradually become the cornerstone of modern life and are widely used in various fields. However, from the environmental point of view, most polymers are derivatives of petrochemical products, so there are corresponding defects in sustainability. Although only a small part of oil and natural gas is used to manufacture polymer materials, since fossil fuels are a non-renewable resource, it is crucial to find a renewable raw material substitute. On the other hand, in the post-processing of waste polymers, only a part enters the landfill, while a considerable amount of plastic fragments enter the ocean circulation, causing harmful effects on marine organisms and potentially human life. The emergence of biodegradable polymer materials provides a more convenient way of polymer processing, which can effectively avoid the problem of landfill accumulation; similarly, the source of biodegradable polymer materials is renewable, for example, the commercially available polylactic acid (PLA) is derived from starch-rich plants: sugar beets, corn and potatoes, etc.

[0003] Among the many synthetic biodegradable materials, the most studied are linear aliphatic polyesters, especially homopolymerization and copolymerization of poly(lactide) (PLA), poly(caprolactone) (PCL), poly(glycolide) (PGA), etc. These polymers are metabolized in the body and are excreted in the form of water and carbon dioxide, so they not only have biodegradability, but also have certain biocompatibility. In addition, lactide can be obtained from crops and cash crops, and the raw materials are inexhaustible. Therefore, it is possible to realize large-tonnage production of these polymers, and even replace petroleum-based materials. These environmentally friendly polymer materials can be rapidly degraded without harming natural organisms and the environment, and aliphatic polyesters such as PLA have a prominent role in various fields as one of the most potential alternative materials. With the development of technology, people expect to use efficient metal catalysts to catalyze the ROP of cyclic esters with high catalytic activity and stereoselectivity.

[0004] In recent years, the Williams group found that the introduction of phosphorus atoms to replace carbon atoms in the Salen structure to prepare a series of metal complexes containing phosphorus imine structures not only has high catalytic efficiency, but also maintains good stereoselectivity for racemic lactide. Therefore, metal complexes containing phosphorus-nitrogen double bonds have attracted attention. Further studies have shown that, compared with the C=N bond in the Salen ligand structure, the P=N double bond structure has a significantly different electronic distribution due to the large difference in electronegativity between phosphorus and nitrogen atoms, thereby making P=N have high ionic bond properties. The nitrogen atom has strong σ and π electron-donating ability due to two lone electron pairs, which improves the Lewis acidity of the coordinated metal center and makes the metal-oxygen bond more loose, which is beneficial to the insertion of monomers and thus improves the activity of ring-opening polymerization. At the same time, in terms of geometric configuration, the phosphorus in the phosphorus imine (P=N) is a pyramid with two substituents, which is different from the sp 2 hybridized C=N, and the imine carbon is a triangular planar structure with only one substituent, so their bond lengths are obviously different vs ). Therefore, the P=N double bond in the phosphorus imine has a highly polarized characteristic, and it mainly forms a stable complex with a transition metal through the nitrogen atom with approximate sp 2 hybridization, thereby exhibiting unique catalytic properties.

[0005] Zinc is one of the elements involved in human metabolism, and it is a common metal in nature, with low acquisition cost and low price. In recent years, there have been many studies on the catalysis of ring-opening polymerization of lactide by zinc complexes. However, the catalytic activity of the new catalysts is weak, and the stability in air is poor, which makes storage and transportation difficult. In order to meet the large-scale production of polymer materials and to prepare biodegradable materials with high biological safety, high molecular weight and narrow molecular weight distribution, it is urgent to develop a polyester polymerization method with simple process and industrialization production, and to prepare biodegradable polyesters with high biological safety and good performance.

[0196] Comparative Example

[0197] Comparative Example 1

[0198] The poly-L-lactide was prepared according to the preparation method in Example 13, except that the reaction solvent was 1 mL of n-hexane. The number average molecular weight of the poly-L-lactide was 1.73 x 10 4 g / mol and 0.26 x 10 4 g / mol and the molecular weight distribution index was 1.15 and 1.00. The monomer conversion was 15%.

[0199] Comparative Example 2

[0200] The poly-L-lactide was prepared according to the preparation method in Example 13, except that the reaction solvent was 1 mL of tetrahydrofuran. The number average molecular weight of the poly-L-lactide was 1.36 x 10 4 g / mol, and the molecular weight distribution index was 1.62. The monomer conversion was 95%.

[0201] Comparative Example 3

[0202] The poly-L-lactide was prepared according to the preparation method in Example 13, except that the reaction solvent was 1 mL of tetrahydrofuran. The number average molecular weight of the poly-L-lactide was 1.36 x 10 4 g / mol, and the molecular weight distribution index was 1.62. The monomer conversion was 95%.

[0203] As can be seen from the comparative examples, the conversion in the polymerization system using n-hexane as the solvent was the lowest, only 15%, and there was a significant bimodal distribution of molecular weight, which can be due to the low polarity of the solvent resulting in a decrease in activity, and can also be due to the presence of two active centers resulting in a significant bimodal distribution. When the solvent was dichloromethane and tetrahydrofuran, the polymerization activity was slightly decreased, and the monomer conversion was much higher than when n-hexane was used as the solvent, which can be due to the difference in solubility in different solvents.
