Visible Light Photocatalytic Thiol–Ene Reaction: An Elegant Approach for Fast Polymer Postfunctionalization and Step-Growth Polymerization
Open accessAbstract
Abstract An elegant approach for fast polymer postfunctionalization and step-growth polymerization (via addition reaction) under aerobic condition was developed from visible light photocatalytic thiol–ene “click” reaction, employing Ru(bpy)3Cl2 as photoredox catalyst and p-toluidine as redox mediator. The nature of the photoredox catalysts, thiol substrates, and solvents were extensively investigated for this reaction with two types of alkene polymers: polybutadiene and poly(allyl methacrylate)s. The use of N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone as the solvent and p-toluidine as redox mediator remarkably improved the reaction rates and limited the formation of side products. Finally, this highly efficient thiol–ene reaction was employed for the synthesis of polymers by step-growth addition polymerization.

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.
