Photoinduced Electron Transfer–Reversible Addition–Fragmentation Chain Transfer (PET-RAFT) Polymerization of Vinyl Acetate and N-Vinylpyrrolidinone: Kinetic and Oxygen Tolerance Study

Abstract

Photoinduced electron transfer–reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (PET-RAFT) polymerization was employed for the polymerization of unconjugated monomers, including vinyl acetate, vinyl pivalate, N -vinylpyrrolidinone, dimethyl vinylphosphonate, vinyl benzoate, and N -vinylcarbazole, in the presence of low concentration (ppm range) of photoredox catalyst, fac- [Ir(ppy) 3 ], under low energy visible light irradiation. Kinetic studies of vinyl acetate indicated excellent control of molecular weights and molecular weight distributions ( M w / M n = 1.09–1.2), even with high monomer conversion (>75%), in different catalyst concentrations. High molecular weights of poly(vinyl acetate) ( M n > 100 000 g/mol) and poly( N -vinylpyrrolidinone) ( M n > 40 000 g/mol) with low dispersities ( M w / M n < 1.25) were obtained in bulk polymerizations. Moreover, the online kinetic study using Fourier transform near-infrared (FTNIR) showed comparable kinetic rates for the polymerizations in the absence and presence of relatively large amount of air, which demonstrates that the PET-RAFT technique possesses the ability of tolerance toward oxygen. Successful chain extensions of homopolymers of poly(vinyl acetate) and poly( N -vinylpyrrolidinone) to vinyl acetate and vinyl pivalate confirmed their integrities of end-group S–(S═Z)–O.

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.
