Hyperbranched Polymers by Thiol−Yne Chemistry: From Small Molecules to Functional Polymers

Konkolewicz, Dominik, Gray-Weale, Angus, Perrier, Sébastien·2009·Journal of the American Chemical Society

Abstract

A new synthesis of hyperbranched polymers is outlined. This paper presents the synthesis of hyperbranched polymers by the recently highlighted thiol-yne reaction. In the thiol-yne reaction, a catalytic amount of photoinitiator and UV radiation are used to add two thiols across one alkyne bond at room temperature. This work demonstrates how the thiol-yne reaction can be used to form hyperbranched polymers from both small organic molecules and polymeric chains bearing an alkyne and a thiol. The UV-catalyzed reaction is fast, forming high-molecular-weight polymers after 20 min of UV irradiation. Hyperbranched polymers made by the thiol-yne reaction have the potential to serve as new materials for a variety of applications from catalytic support and drug delivery to viscosity modification.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
