Abstract
Nature has developed efficient polymerization processes, which allow the synthesis of complex macromolecules with a perfect control of tacticity as well as molecular weight, in response to a specific stimulus. In this contribution, we report the synthesis of various stereopolymers by combining a photoactivated living polymerization, named photoinduced electron transfer–reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (PET-RAFT) with Lewis acid mediators. We initially investigated the tolerance of two different photoredox catalysts, i.e., Ir(ppy)3 and Ru(bpy)3, in the presence of a Lewis acid, i.e., Y(OTf)3 and Yb(OTf)3, to mediate the polymerization of N,N-dimethyl acrylamide (DMAA). An excellent control of tacticity as well as molecular weight and dispersity was observed when Ir(ppy)3 and Y(OTf)3 were employed in a methanol/toluene mixture, while no polymerization or poor control was observed with Ru(bpy)3. In comparison to a thermal system, a lower amount of Y(OTf)3 was required to achieve good control over the tacticity. Taking advantage of the temporal control inherent in our system, we were able to design complex macromolecular architectures, such as atactic block-isotactic and isotactic-block-atactic polymers in a one-pot polymerization approach. Furthermore, we discovered that we could modulate the degree of tacticity through a chemical stimulus, by varying [DMSO]0/[Y(OTf)3]0 ratio from 0 to 30 during the polymerization. The stereochemical control afforded by the addition of a low amount of DMSO in conjunction with the inherent temporal control enabled the synthesis of stereogradient polymer consisting of five different stereoblocks in one-pot polymerization.

(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA)A review. Reversible addn.-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) is one of the most robust and versatile methods for controlling radical polymn. With appropriate selection of the RAFT agent for the monomers and reaction conditions, it is applicable to the majority of monomers subject to radical polymn. The process can be used in the synthesis of well-defined homo-, gradient, diblock, triblock, and star polymers and more complex architectures, which include microgels and polymer brushes. In this Focus Review we describe how the development of RAFT and RAFT application has been facilitated by the adoption of continuous flow techniques using tubular reactors and through the use of high-throughput methodol. Applications described include the use of RAFT in the prepn. of polymers for optoelectronics, block copolymer therapeutics, and star polymer rheol. control agents.

(American Chemical Society)Conventional metal-catalyzed org. radical reactions and living radical polymns. (LRP) performed in nonpolar solvents, including atom-transfer radical polymn. (ATRP), proceed by an inner-sphere electron-transfer mechanism. One catalytic system frequently used in these polymns. is based on Cu(I)X species and N-contg. ligands. Here, it is reported that polar solvents such as H2O, alcs., dipolar aprotic solvents, ethylene and propylene carbonate, and ionic liqs. instantaneously disproportionate Cu(I)X into Cu(0) and Cu(II)X2 species in the presence of a diversity of N-contg. ligands. This disproportionation facilitates an ultrafast LRP in which the free radicals are generated by the nascent and extremely reactive Cu(0) at. species, while their deactivation is mediated by the nascent Cu(II)X2 species. Both steps proceed by a low activation energy outer-sphere single-electron-transfer (SET) mechanism. The resulting SET-LRP process is activated by a catalytic amt. of the electron-donor Cu(0), Cu2Se, Cu2Te, Cu2S, or Cu2O species, not by Cu(I)X. This process provides, at room temp. and below, an ultrafast synthesis of ultrahigh mol. wt. polymers from functional monomers contg. electron-withdrawing groups such as acrylates, methacrylates, and vinyl chloride, initiated with alkyl halides, sulfonyl halides, and N-halides.

(Nature Publishing Group)A review. The route by which the complex and specific mols. of life arose from the 'prebiotic soup' remains an unsolved problem. Evolution provides a large part of the answer, but this requires mols. that can carry information (i.e., exist in many variants) and can replicate themselves. The process is commonplace in living organisms, but not so easy to achieve with simple chem. systems. It is esp. difficult to contemplate in the chem. chaos of the prebiotic world. Although popular in many quarters, the notion that RNA was the 1st self-replicator carries many difficulties. Here, the authors present an alternative view, suggesting that there may be undiscovered self-replication mechanisms possible in much simpler systems. In particular, the authors highlight the possibility of information coding through stereochem. configurations of substituents in org. polymers. The authors also show that this coding system leads naturally to enantiopurity, solving the apparent problem of biol. homochirality.

(VCH)A review with 235 refs. on novel, metallocene-based catalysts for the polymn. of α-olefins. In contrast to heterogeneous Ziegler-Natta catalysts, polymn. by a homogeneous, metallocene-based catalyst occurs principally at a single type of metal center with a defined coordination environment. This makes it possible to correlate metallocene structures with polymer properties such as mol. wt., stereochem. microstructure, crystn. behavior, and mech. properties. Homogeneous catalyst systems now afford efficient control of regio- and stereoregularities, mol. wts. and mol.-wt. distributions, and comonomer incorporation. By providing a means for the homo- and copolymn. of cyclic olefins, the cyclopolymn. of dienes, and access even to functionalized polyolefins, these catalysts greatly expand the range and versatility of tech. feasible types of polyolefin materials.

Radiation-induced polymerization of styrene adsorbed on several inorganic substancesFukano, Kazuyuki; Kageyama, EiichiJournal of Polymer Science, Polymer Chemistry Edition (1975), 13 (6), 1309-24CODEN: JPLCAT; ISSN:0360-6376.The radiation-induced polymn. of styrene (I) [100-42-5], adsorbed on silica gel, white carbon, silicic acid anhydride (II), zeolite, and activated alumina, showed that the adsorbed state polymn. rate on inorg. substances was very fast compared with ordinary bulk polymn., regardless of the type of inorg. substances. The rate of bulk polymn. in the presence of inorg. substances without direct contact with I was faster than that of ordinary bulk polymn. without inorg. substances. The amt. of the unextractable polystyrene depended on the sp. surface area and chem. compns. of the inorg. substances. Thus, inorg. substances contg. Al as a component element were more likely to be grafted than those which consisted of SiO2 alone. The mol. wt. and mol. wt. distribution of the unextractable and extractable polymers differed from one another in each inorg. substance. In general, the mol. wt. of the unextractable polymer was larger than that of the extractable polymer, but in the case of II, the mol. wt. of the unextractable polymer was smaller than that of the extractable one. These results suggested that the unextractable polymer formed chem. bonds with the inorg. surface.

The change in the nature and concn. of the free radical with temp. and duration of the postpolymn. was followed by ESR, whereas the formation of polymers was monitored continuously by the decay of the 1H-NMR absorption line of the monomer under high-resolution conditions. The overall postpolymn. kinetics were accounted for by assuming an exponetial decay of radical propagation and recombination reactions with chain length. The tacticity of the polymer recovered by destroying the matrix in HF was detd. by 13C-NMR. The probability of isotactic addn. of I and II was larger than in radical polymn. in soln. owing to the assocn. of adsorbed monomer mols. in pairs preforming an isotactic diad.

Y.; Challa, G.Journal of Polymer Science, Polymer Chemistry Edition (1977), 15 (2), 341-51CODEN: JPLCAT; ISSN:0360-6376.The rate enhancement in prepn. of poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone) (I) [25087-26-7] in the presence of poly(methacrylic acid) (II) [9003-39-8], which was ascribed to growth of the I chain along the II template, became more pronounced with increasing chain length and syndiotacticity of the II template. In the presence of excess monomer, the rate enhancement decreased when the quantity of I corresponded to 1:1 with available II. The template effect was attributed to the delay of the bimol. termination step of growing I radicals assocd. with II. Diffusion of polymer radicals and termination will be more hindered if the attached II has a greater length and if the binding forces between I radical and II template are stronger, which implies that I forms the strongest complexes with syndiotactic poly(methacrylic acid) [25750-36-1], as supported by exptl. results.

(Society of Polymer Science, Japan)In the present study, two novel triarylmethyl methacrylates having fused ring structures including a six-membered ring, namely, 10, 10-dimethyl-9-phenyl-9, 10-dihydroanthracen-9-yl methacrylate (DMPAMA), and 10,10-dibutyl-9-phenyl-9, 10-dihydroanthracen-9-yl methacrylate (DBPAMA), were polymd. under anionic and radical reaction conditions. The radical polymn. of 9-phenylfluoren-9-yl methacrylate (PFMA) was also performed. The asym. anionic polymn. of DMPAMA and DBPAMA led to highly isotactic, optically active polymers having a single-handed helical conformation. It was suggested that the high optical activity of the poly(triarylmethyl methacrylate)s may be partly based on the single-handed propeller conformation in addn. to the main-chain helix. The radical polymn. of DMPAMA and DBPAMA resulted in the isotactic polymer formation while PFMA gave atactic polymers, suggesting that the polymn. stereochem. is sensitive to the monomer structure. The helix-sense selection was achieved during the radical polymn. of DBPAMA in the presence of an optically active chain-transfer agent. Poly(DBPAMA)s with high mol. wt. showed much better soly. than the other helical polymethacrylates.

Fluoroalcs. with a lower pKa and higher bulkiness were effective in enhancing the syndiotactic specificity of the polymn. The polymn. of VAc in perfluoro-tert-Bu alc.

(John Wiley & Sons, Inc.)A review. The simultaneous control of the mol. wts. and the tacticity was attained even during radical polymn. by the judicious combinations of the living/controlled radical polymns. based on the fast interconversion between the dormant and active species, and the stereospecific radical polymns. mediated by the added Lewis acids or polar solvents via the coordination to the monomer/polymer terminal substituents. This can be useful for various monomers including not only conjugated monomers, such as acrylamides and methacrylates, but also nonconjugated ones such as vinyl acetate and N-vinylpyrrolidone. Stereoblock polymers were easily obtained by the addn. of the Lewis acids or by change of the solvents during the living radical polymns.

(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA)A review. Polymer chemists, through advances in controlled polymn. techniques and reliable post-functionalization methods, now have the tools to create materials of almost infinite variety and architecture. Many relevant challenges in materials science, however, require not only functional polymers but also on-demand access to the properties and performance they provide. The power of such temporal and spatial control of polymn. can be found in nature, where the prodn. of proteins, nucleic acids, and polysaccharides helps regulate multicomponent systems and maintain homeostasis. Here we review existing strategies for temporal control of polymns. through external stimuli including chem. reagents, applied voltage, light, and mech. force. Recent work illustrates the considerable potential for this emerging field and provides a coherent vision and set of criteria for pursuing future strategies for regulating controlled polymns.

(American Chemical Society)The controlled radical polymn. of a variety of acrylate monomers is reported using an Ir-catalyzed visible light mediated process leading to well-defined homo-, random, and block copolymers. The polymns. could be efficiently activated and deactivated using light while maintaining a linear increase in mol. wt. with conversion and first order kinetics. The robust nature of the fac-[Ir(ppy)3] catalyst allows carboxylic acids to be directly introduced at the chain ends through functional initiators or along the backbone of random copolymers (controlled process up to 50 mol % acrylic acid incorporation). In contrast to traditional ATRP procedures, low polydispersity block copolymers, poly(acrylate)-b-(acrylate), poly(methacrylate)-b-(acrylate), and poly(acrylate)-b-(methacrylate), could be prepd. with no monomer sequence requirements. These results illustrate the increasing generality and utility of light mediated Ir-catalyzed polymn. as a platform for polymer synthesis.

Control expts. suggest photoredn. of the CuII complex (ligand to metal charge transfer in the excited state), yielding a CuI complex, and a bromine radical that can initiate polymn. No photoactivation of CuI complex was detected. This implies that the mechanism of ATRP in the presence of light is a hybrid of ICAR and ARGET ATRP.

(American Chemical Society)Living radical polymn. of acrylates and acrylamides from trithiocarbonate iniferters using a compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) bulb and 10-phenylphenothiazine as an org. photoredox catalyst is reported. With this system, chain growth can be efficiently switched between "on" and "off" in response to visible light. Polymer molar masses increase linearly with conversion, and narrow molar mass distributions are obtained. The excellent fidelity of the trithiocarbonate-iniferter enables the prepn. of triblock copolymers from macro-iniferters under the same visible-light mediated protocol, using UV light without a photoredox catalyst or under traditional thermally induced RAFT conditions. We expect that the simplicity and efficiency of this metal-free, visible-light-mediated polymn. will enable the synthesis and modification of a range of materials under mild conditions.

This polymn. technique employs ultra-low concns. of a ruthenium-based photoredox catalyst (typically 1 ppm to monomers) and enables low energy visible LED light to afford well-defined polymers with narrow polydispersities (Mw/Mn < 1.3). In this paper, different parameters, including photocatalyst concns. and solvent effects, were thoroughly investigated. In addn., successful polymns. in biol. media have been reported with good control of the mol. wts. and mol. wt. distributions (Mw/Mn < 1.4).

(American Chemical Society)The use of metalloporphyrins has been gaining popularity particularly in the area of medicine concerning sensitizers for the treatment of cancer and dermatol. diseases through photodynamic therapy (PDT), and advanced materials for engineering mol. antenna for harvesting solar energy. In line with the myriad functions of metalloporphyrins, we investigated their capability for photoinduced living polymn. under visible light irradn. over a broad range of wavelengths. We discovered that zinc porphyrins (i.e., zinc tetraphenylporphine (ZnTPP)) were able to selectively activate photoinduced electron transfer-reversible addn.-fragmentation chain transfer (PET-RAFT) polymn. of trithiocarbonate compds. for the polymn. of styrene, (meth)acrylates and (meth)acrylamides under a broad range of wavelengths (from 435 to 655 nm). Interestingly, other thiocarbonylthio compds. (dithiobenzoate, dithiocarbamate and xanthate) were not effectively activated in the presence of ZnTPP. This selectivity was likely attributed to a specific interaction between ZnTPP and trithiocarbonates, suggesting novel recognition at the mol. level. This interaction between the photoredox catalyst and trithiocarbonate group confers specific properties to this polymn., such as oxygen tolerance, enabling living radical polymn. in the presence of air and also ability to manipulate the polymn. rates (kpapp from 1.2-2.6 × 10-2 min-1) by varying the visible wavelengths.

We demonstrate that eosin Y and fluorescein were efficient catalysts to activate a photoinduced electron transfer-reversible addn.-fragmentation chain transfer (PET-RAFT) mechanism. The concn. of eosin Y was varied from 10 to 100 ppm with respect to monomers. This polymn. technique yielded well-defined (co)polymers with a good control of the mol. wts. ranging from 10 000 to 100 000 g mol-1 and low polydispersities (PDI < 1.30). A variety of functional monomers, including N,N-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate, hydroxyl Et methacrylate, pentafluorophenyl methacrylate, glycidyl methacrylate, oligo(ethylene glycol) Me ether methacrylate (OEGMA), and methacrylic acid, were successfully polymd. Finally, the addn. of a tertiary amine, such as triethylamine, afforded the polymn. in the presence of air via a reductive quenching cycle. Different diblock polymethacrylate copolymers, i.e.PMMA-b-POEGMA and PMMA-b-PMMA, were prepd. to demonstrate the high end group fidelity.

(Royal Society of Chemistry)Efficient photoredox catalysts contg. transition metals, such as iridium and ruthenium, to initiate org. reactions and polymn. under visible light have recently emerged. However, these catalysts are composed of rare metals, which limit their applications. In this study, we report an efficient photoinduced living radical polymn. process that involves the use of chlorophyll as the photoredox biocatalyst. We demonstrate that chlorophyll a (the most abundant chlorophyll in plants) can activate a photoinduced electron transfer (PET) process that initiates a reversible addn.-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymn. under blue and red LED light (λmax = 461 and 635 nm, resp.). This process controls a wide range of functional and non-functional monomers, and offers excellent control over mol. wts. and polydispersities. The end group fidelity was demonstrated by NMR, UV-vis spectroscopy, and successful chain extensions for the prepn. of diblock copolymers.

DMAM was polymd. with [FeCp(CO)2]2 in conjunction with an alkyl iodide [(CH3)2C(CO2Et)I] as an initiator in the presence of Y(OTf)3 in toluene/methanol (1/1) at 60 °C to be converted almost quant. to the polymers with controlled mol. wts. and high isotacticity (m > 80%), wherein the Fe-complex generates radical species from a covalent C-I bond of the dormant species and the Lewis acid controls the stereochem. of the polymn. via coordination with the amide groups of the polymer terminal and the monomer. A series of Lewis acids were also used for the iron(I)-catalyzed DMAM polymn., and Yb(OTf)3 and Yb(NTf2)3 proved effective in giving isotactic polymers without deteriorating the mol. wt. control similar to Y(OTf)3. Furthermore, a slight enhancement of iso-specificity was obsd. for the iron-catalyzed system in comparison with the α,α-Azobisisobutyronitrile-initiated, when coupled with Y(OTf)3. Stereo-block polymn. of DMAM via a one-pot reaction was also achieved by just adding the Y(OTf)3 methanol soln. in the course of the polymn. to give atactic-b-isotactic poly(DMAM). A similar but slightly lower control in the mol. wt. and tacticity was achieved in the polymn. of NIPAM with [FeCp(CO)2]2/Y(OTf)3.

(Royal Society of Chemistry)The absorption characteristics of a large set of thiocarbonyl based chain transfer agents (CTAs) were studied by UV-vis spectroscopy in order to identify appropriate conditions for exploiting their absorbance bands in end-group anal. of polymers prepd. by reversible addn.-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymn. Substitution pattern and solvent polarity were found to affect notably the wavelengths and intensities of the π-π*- and n-π*-transition of the thiocarbonyl bond of dithioester and trithiocarbonate RAFT agents. Therefore, it is advisable to refer in end group anal. to the spectral parameters of low molar mass analogs of the active polymer chain ends, rather than to rely on the specific RAFT agent engaged in the polymn. When using appropriate conditions, the quantification of the thiocarbonyl end-groups via the π-π* band of the thiocarbonyl moiety around 300-310 nm allows a facile, sensitive and surprisingly precise estn. of the no. av. molar mass of the polymers produced, without the need of particular end group labels. Moreover, when addnl. methods for abs. molar mass detn. can be applied, the quantification of the thiocarbonyl end-groups by UV-spectroscopy provides a good est. of the degree of active end group for a given polymer sample.

(John Wiley & Sons, Inc.)A-B-A stereoblock polymers with atactic poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) as a hydrophilic block (either A or B) and a non-water-sol. block consisting of isotactic PNIPAM were synthesized using reversible addn. fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymns. Yttrium trifluoromethanesulfonate was used in the tacticity control, and bifunctional S,S'-bis(α,α'-dimethyl-α''-acetic acid)-trithiocarbonate (BDAT) was utilized as a RAFT agent. Chain structures of the A-B-A stereoblock copolymers were detd. using 1H NMR, SEC, and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. BDAT proved to be an efficient RAFT agent in the controlled synthesis of stereoregular PNIPAM, and both atactic and isotactic PNIPAM were successfully used as macro RAFT agents. The glass transition temps. (Tg) of the resulting polymers were measured by differential scanning calorimetry. We found that the Tg of isotactic PNIPAM is mol. wt. dependent and varies in the present case between 115 and 158°. Stereoblock copolymers show only one Tg, indicating the miscibility of the blocks. Correspondingly, the Tg may be varied by varying the mutual lengths of the A and B blocks. The phase sepn. of aq. solns. upon increasing temp. is strongly affected by the isotactic blocks. At a fixed concn. (5 mg/mL), an increase of the isotacticity of the stereoblock copolymers decreases the demixing temp.

(John Wiley & Sons, Inc.)The stereospecific living radical polymns. of Me methacrylate (MMA) and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) were achieved with a combination of ruthenium-catalyzed living radical and solvent-mediated stereospecific radical polymns. Among a series of ruthenium complexes [RuCl2(PPh3)3, Ru(Ind)Cl(PPh3)2, and RuCp*Cl(PPh3)2], Cp*-ruthenium afforded polymethyl methacrylate with highly controlled mol. wts. [wt. av. mol. wt./no. av. mol. wt. (Mw/Mn) = 1.08] and high syndiotacticity (r = 88%) in a fluoroalc. such as (CF3)2C(Ph)OH at 0°. On the other hand, a hydroxy-functionalized monomer, HEMA, was polymd. with RuCp*Cl(PPh3)2 in N,N-dimethylformamide and N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMA) to give syndiotactic polymers (r = 87-88%) with controlled mol. wts. (Mw/Mn = 1.12-1.16). This was the first example of the syndiospecific living radical polymn. of HEMA. A fluoroalc. [(CF3)2C(Ph)OH], which induced the syndiospecific radical polymn. of MMA, reduced the syndiospecificity in the HEMA polymn. to result in more or less atactic polymers (mm/mr/rr = 7.2/40.9/51.9%) with controlled mol. wts. in the presence of RuCp*Cl(PPh3)2 at 80°. A successive living radical polymn. of HEMA in two solvents, first DMA followed by (CF3)2C(Ph)OH, resulted in stereoblock poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) with syndiotactic-atactic segments.

(Royal Society of Chemistry)The control of the polymn. of a wide range of monomers under mild conditions by a single catalyst remains a major challenge in polymer science. We report a versatile, well-defined organocobalt salen complex to control living radical polymn. of different categories of monomers, including acrylates, acrylamides and vinyl acetate, under visible light irradn. at ambient temp. Both household light and sunlight were effectively applied in the synthesis of polymers with controlled mol. wts. and narrow polydispersities. Narrowly dispersed block copolymers (Mw/Mn < 1.2) were obtained under various conditions. The structures of the polymers were analyzed by 1H NMR, 12D NMR, 13C NMR, GPC, MALDI-TOF-MS and isotopic labeling expts., which showed that the ω and α ends of the polymer chains were capped with (salen)Co and -CO2CH3 segments, resp., from the photoinitiator (salen)Co-CO2CH3. The Ω end was easily functionalized through oxygen insertion followed by hydrolysis from 18O2 to -18OH. This robust system can proceed without any additives, and offers a versatile and green way to produce well-defined homo and block copolymers.

(Elsevier Ltd.)Poly(acrylamide) (PAM) with controlled mol. wt. and tacticity was prepd. by UV-irradn.-initiated controlled/living radical polymn. in the presence of dibenzyl trithiocarbonate (DBTTC) and Y(OTf)3. The rapid and facile photo-initiated controlled/living polymn. at ambient temp. led to controlled mol. wt. and narrow polydispersity (M w /M n = 1.12-1.24) of PAM. The coordination of Y(OTf)3 with the last two amide groups in the growing chain radical effectively enhanced isotacticity of PAM. The isotactic sequence of dyads (m), triads (mm) and pentads (mmmm) in PAM were 70.32%, 50.95%, and 29.97%, resp., which were detd. by the resonance of methine (CH) groups in PAM under 13C NMR expt. Factors affecting stereocontrol during the polymn. were studied, including the type of Lewis acids, concn. of Y(OTf)3, and monomer conversion. It is intriguing that the meso tacticity increased gradually with chain propagation and quite higher isotacticity (m = 93.01%, mm = 86.57%) was obtained in the later polymn. stage (conversion 65-85%).

(Royal Society of Chemistry)The synthesis of stereogradient polymers with tacticities that vary from predominantly syndiotactic to highly isotactic was investigated by reversible addn.-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) copolymn. of bulky methacrylates, such as triphenylmethyl methacrylate (TrMA) and 1-phenyldibenzosuberyl methacrylate (PDBSMA) and methacrylic acid (MAA) in both non-polar and polar solvents. The MAA monomer showed increased reactivity in toluene because of hydrogen bonding and was consumed slightly faster than TrMA or PDBSMA. However, the RAFT copolymn. of TrMA and MAA in 1,4-dioxane resulted in consumption of both monomers at the same rate. The copolymers can be easily converted to homopoly(MAA) by the acid hydrolysis of the bulky group and converted further to poly(Me methacrylate) by Me esterification using trimethylsilyldiazomethane to analyze the mol. wts. and tacticity. The mol. wts. of the polymers obtained in both solvents increased with monomer conversion, which indicates that controlled/living radical copolymn. proceeded irresp. of the solvents. 13C NMR analyses of the polymers revealed that stereogradient polymers were produced in toluene, in which the tacticity changed from mm = 11% to nearly 100%, whereas the copolymers obtained in 1,4-dioxane resulted in nearly atactic enchainment (rr/mr/mm ≈ 38/49/13), independent of monomer conversion. A similar stereogradient copolymer was also obtained by RAFT copolymn. of PDBSMA and MAA in toluene, where the isotacticity changed more gradually from mm = 14% to nearly 100%.

(American Chemical Society)A review. This Perspective presents recent advances in macromol. engineering enabled by ATRP. They include the fundamental mechanistic and synthetic features of ATRP with emphasis on various catalytic/initiation systems that use parts-per-million concns. of Cu catalysts and can be run in environmentally friendly media, e.g., water. The roles of the major components of ATRP-monomers, initiators, catalysts, and various additives-are explained, and their reactivity and structure are correlated. The effects of media and external stimuli on polymn. rates and control are presented. Some examples of precisely controlled elements of macromol. architecture, such as chain uniformity, compn., topol., and functionality, are discussed. Syntheses of polymers with complex architecture, various hybrids, and bioconjugates are illustrated. Examples of current and forthcoming applications of ATRP are covered. Future challenges and perspectives for macromol. engineering by ATRP are discussed.

(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA)A review. Reversible addn.-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) is one of the most robust and versatile methods for controlling radical polymn. With appropriate selection of the RAFT agent for the monomers and reaction conditions, it is applicable to the majority of monomers subject to radical polymn. The process can be used in the synthesis of well-defined homo-, gradient, diblock, triblock, and star polymers and more complex architectures, which include microgels and polymer brushes. In this Focus Review we describe how the development of RAFT and RAFT application has been facilitated by the adoption of continuous flow techniques using tubular reactors and through the use of high-throughput methodol. Applications described include the use of RAFT in the prepn. of polymers for optoelectronics, block copolymer therapeutics, and star polymer rheol. control agents.

(American Chemical Society)Conventional metal-catalyzed org. radical reactions and living radical polymns. (LRP) performed in nonpolar solvents, including atom-transfer radical polymn. (ATRP), proceed by an inner-sphere electron-transfer mechanism. One catalytic system frequently used in these polymns. is based on Cu(I)X species and N-contg. ligands. Here, it is reported that polar solvents such as H2O, alcs., dipolar aprotic solvents, ethylene and propylene carbonate, and ionic liqs. instantaneously disproportionate Cu(I)X into Cu(0) and Cu(II)X2 species in the presence of a diversity of N-contg. ligands. This disproportionation facilitates an ultrafast LRP in which the free radicals are generated by the nascent and extremely reactive Cu(0) at. species, while their deactivation is mediated by the nascent Cu(II)X2 species. Both steps proceed by a low activation energy outer-sphere single-electron-transfer (SET) mechanism. The resulting SET-LRP process is activated by a catalytic amt. of the electron-donor Cu(0), Cu2Se, Cu2Te, Cu2S, or Cu2O species, not by Cu(I)X. This process provides, at room temp. and below, an ultrafast synthesis of ultrahigh mol. wt. polymers from functional monomers contg. electron-withdrawing groups such as acrylates, methacrylates, and vinyl chloride, initiated with alkyl halides, sulfonyl halides, and N-halides.

(Royal Society of Chemistry)A review. Click chem. constitutes a class of reactions broadly characterized by efficiency, selectivity, and tolerance to a variety of solvents and functional groups. By far the most widely utilized of these efficient transformation reactions is the CuI-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddn. This reaction was creatively employed to facilitate the prepn. of complex macromols., such as multiblock copolymers, shell or core crosslinked micelles, and dendrimers. This crit. review highlights the application of click chem., in particular the CuI-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddn., to the synthesis of a wide variety of new materials with possible uses as drug delivery agents, tissue engineering scaffolds, and dispersible nanomaterials (83 refs.).

(Nature Publishing Group)A review. The route by which the complex and specific mols. of life arose from the 'prebiotic soup' remains an unsolved problem. Evolution provides a large part of the answer, but this requires mols. that can carry information (i.e., exist in many variants) and can replicate themselves. The process is commonplace in living organisms, but not so easy to achieve with simple chem. systems. It is esp. difficult to contemplate in the chem. chaos of the prebiotic world. Although popular in many quarters, the notion that RNA was the 1st self-replicator carries many difficulties. Here, the authors present an alternative view, suggesting that there may be undiscovered self-replication mechanisms possible in much simpler systems. In particular, the authors highlight the possibility of information coding through stereochem. configurations of substituents in org. polymers. The authors also show that this coding system leads naturally to enantiopurity, solving the apparent problem of biol. homochirality.

(VCH)A review with 235 refs. on novel, metallocene-based catalysts for the polymn. of α-olefins. In contrast to heterogeneous Ziegler-Natta catalysts, polymn. by a homogeneous, metallocene-based catalyst occurs principally at a single type of metal center with a defined coordination environment. This makes it possible to correlate metallocene structures with polymer properties such as mol. wt., stereochem. microstructure, crystn. behavior, and mech. properties. Homogeneous catalyst systems now afford efficient control of regio- and stereoregularities, mol. wts. and mol.-wt. distributions, and comonomer incorporation. By providing a means for the homo- and copolymn. of cyclic olefins, the cyclopolymn. of dienes, and access even to functionalized polyolefins, these catalysts greatly expand the range and versatility of tech. feasible types of polyolefin materials.

Radiation-induced polymerization of styrene adsorbed on several inorganic substancesFukano, Kazuyuki; Kageyama, EiichiJournal of Polymer Science, Polymer Chemistry Edition (1975), 13 (6), 1309-24CODEN: JPLCAT; ISSN:0360-6376.The radiation-induced polymn. of styrene (I) [100-42-5], adsorbed on silica gel, white carbon, silicic acid anhydride (II), zeolite, and activated alumina, showed that the adsorbed state polymn. rate on inorg. substances was very fast compared with ordinary bulk polymn., regardless of the type of inorg. substances. The rate of bulk polymn. in the presence of inorg. substances without direct contact with I was faster than that of ordinary bulk polymn. without inorg. substances. The amt. of the unextractable polystyrene depended on the sp. surface area and chem. compns. of the inorg. substances. Thus, inorg. substances contg. Al as a component element were more likely to be grafted than those which consisted of SiO2 alone. The mol. wt. and mol. wt. distribution of the unextractable and extractable polymers differed from one another in each inorg. substance. In general, the mol. wt. of the unextractable polymer was larger than that of the extractable polymer, but in the case of II, the mol. wt. of the unextractable polymer was smaller than that of the extractable one. These results suggested that the unextractable polymer formed chem. bonds with the inorg. surface.

The change in the nature and concn. of the free radical with temp. and duration of the postpolymn. was followed by ESR, whereas the formation of polymers was monitored continuously by the decay of the 1H-NMR absorption line of the monomer under high-resolution conditions. The overall postpolymn. kinetics were accounted for by assuming an exponetial decay of radical propagation and recombination reactions with chain length. The tacticity of the polymer recovered by destroying the matrix in HF was detd. by 13C-NMR. The probability of isotactic addn. of I and II was larger than in radical polymn. in soln. owing to the assocn. of adsorbed monomer mols. in pairs preforming an isotactic diad.

Y.; Challa, G.Journal of Polymer Science, Polymer Chemistry Edition (1977), 15 (2), 341-51CODEN: JPLCAT; ISSN:0360-6376.The rate enhancement in prepn. of poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone) (I) [25087-26-7] in the presence of poly(methacrylic acid) (II) [9003-39-8], which was ascribed to growth of the I chain along the II template, became more pronounced with increasing chain length and syndiotacticity of the II template. In the presence of excess monomer, the rate enhancement decreased when the quantity of I corresponded to 1:1 with available II. The template effect was attributed to the delay of the bimol. termination step of growing I radicals assocd. with II. Diffusion of polymer radicals and termination will be more hindered if the attached II has a greater length and if the binding forces between I radical and II template are stronger, which implies that I forms the strongest complexes with syndiotactic poly(methacrylic acid) [25750-36-1], as supported by exptl. results.

(Society of Polymer Science, Japan)In the present study, two novel triarylmethyl methacrylates having fused ring structures including a six-membered ring, namely, 10, 10-dimethyl-9-phenyl-9, 10-dihydroanthracen-9-yl methacrylate (DMPAMA), and 10,10-dibutyl-9-phenyl-9, 10-dihydroanthracen-9-yl methacrylate (DBPAMA), were polymd. under anionic and radical reaction conditions. The radical polymn. of 9-phenylfluoren-9-yl methacrylate (PFMA) was also performed. The asym. anionic polymn. of DMPAMA and DBPAMA led to highly isotactic, optically active polymers having a single-handed helical conformation. It was suggested that the high optical activity of the poly(triarylmethyl methacrylate)s may be partly based on the single-handed propeller conformation in addn. to the main-chain helix. The radical polymn. of DMPAMA and DBPAMA resulted in the isotactic polymer formation while PFMA gave atactic polymers, suggesting that the polymn. stereochem. is sensitive to the monomer structure. The helix-sense selection was achieved during the radical polymn. of DBPAMA in the presence of an optically active chain-transfer agent. Poly(DBPAMA)s with high mol. wt. showed much better soly. than the other helical polymethacrylates.

Fluoroalcs. with a lower pKa and higher bulkiness were effective in enhancing the syndiotactic specificity of the polymn. The polymn. of VAc in perfluoro-tert-Bu alc.

(John Wiley & Sons, Inc.)A review. The simultaneous control of the mol. wts. and the tacticity was attained even during radical polymn. by the judicious combinations of the living/controlled radical polymns. based on the fast interconversion between the dormant and active species, and the stereospecific radical polymns. mediated by the added Lewis acids or polar solvents via the coordination to the monomer/polymer terminal substituents. This can be useful for various monomers including not only conjugated monomers, such as acrylamides and methacrylates, but also nonconjugated ones such as vinyl acetate and N-vinylpyrrolidone. Stereoblock polymers were easily obtained by the addn. of the Lewis acids or by change of the solvents during the living radical polymns.

(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA)A review. Polymer chemists, through advances in controlled polymn. techniques and reliable post-functionalization methods, now have the tools to create materials of almost infinite variety and architecture. Many relevant challenges in materials science, however, require not only functional polymers but also on-demand access to the properties and performance they provide. The power of such temporal and spatial control of polymn. can be found in nature, where the prodn. of proteins, nucleic acids, and polysaccharides helps regulate multicomponent systems and maintain homeostasis. Here we review existing strategies for temporal control of polymns. through external stimuli including chem. reagents, applied voltage, light, and mech. force. Recent work illustrates the considerable potential for this emerging field and provides a coherent vision and set of criteria for pursuing future strategies for regulating controlled polymns.

(American Chemical Society)The controlled radical polymn. of a variety of acrylate monomers is reported using an Ir-catalyzed visible light mediated process leading to well-defined homo-, random, and block copolymers. The polymns. could be efficiently activated and deactivated using light while maintaining a linear increase in mol. wt. with conversion and first order kinetics. The robust nature of the fac-[Ir(ppy)3] catalyst allows carboxylic acids to be directly introduced at the chain ends through functional initiators or along the backbone of random copolymers (controlled process up to 50 mol % acrylic acid incorporation). In contrast to traditional ATRP procedures, low polydispersity block copolymers, poly(acrylate)-b-(acrylate), poly(methacrylate)-b-(acrylate), and poly(acrylate)-b-(methacrylate), could be prepd. with no monomer sequence requirements. These results illustrate the increasing generality and utility of light mediated Ir-catalyzed polymn. as a platform for polymer synthesis.

Illumination of the reaction mixt. yielded polymn. in case of 392 and 450 nm light but not for 631 nm light. Sunlight was also a viable source for the photoinduced ATRP. Control expts. suggest photoredn. of the CuII complex (ligand to metal charge transfer in the excited state), yielding a CuI complex, and a bromine radical that can initiate polymn. No photoactivation of CuI complex was detected. This implies that the mechanism of ATRP in the presence of light is a hybrid of ICAR and ARGET ATRP. The method was also used to synthesize block copolymers and polymns. in water.

Optimized reaction conditions for efficient ligand transfer leads to well-defined polymers within 2 h with near quant. conversions (>95%), low dispersities (D ∼ 1.16) and high end-group fidelity, as demonstrated by MALDI-ToF-MS. Addnl., in the presence of ppm concns. of NaBr, similar degree of control could also be attained by facilitating ligand exchange, furnishing narrow dispersed polymers (D < 1.12).

(American Chemical Society)Living radical polymn. of acrylates and acrylamides from trithiocarbonate iniferters using a compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) bulb and 10-phenylphenothiazine as an org. photoredox catalyst is reported. With this system, chain growth can be efficiently switched between "on" and "off" in response to visible light. Polymer molar masses increase linearly with conversion, and narrow molar mass distributions are obtained. The excellent fidelity of the trithiocarbonate-iniferter enables the prepn. of triblock copolymers from macro-iniferters under the same visible-light mediated protocol, using UV light without a photoredox catalyst or under traditional thermally induced RAFT conditions. We expect that the simplicity and efficiency of this metal-free, visible-light-mediated polymn. will enable the synthesis and modification of a range of materials under mild conditions.

This polymn. technique employs ultra-low concns. of a ruthenium-based photoredox catalyst (typically 1 ppm to monomers) and enables low energy visible LED light to afford well-defined polymers with narrow polydispersities (Mw/Mn < 1.3). In this paper, different parameters, including photocatalyst concns. and solvent effects, were thoroughly investigated. In addn., successful polymns. in biol. media have been reported with good control of the mol. wts. and mol. wt. distributions (Mw/Mn < 1.4).

(American Chemical Society)The use of metalloporphyrins has been gaining popularity particularly in the area of medicine concerning sensitizers for the treatment of cancer and dermatol. diseases through photodynamic therapy (PDT), and advanced materials for engineering mol. antenna for harvesting solar energy. In line with the myriad functions of metalloporphyrins, we investigated their capability for photoinduced living polymn. under visible light irradn. over a broad range of wavelengths. We discovered that zinc porphyrins (i.e., zinc tetraphenylporphine (ZnTPP)) were able to selectively activate photoinduced electron transfer-reversible addn.-fragmentation chain transfer (PET-RAFT) polymn. of trithiocarbonate compds. for the polymn. of styrene, (meth)acrylates and (meth)acrylamides under a broad range of wavelengths (from 435 to 655 nm). Interestingly, other thiocarbonylthio compds. (dithiobenzoate, dithiocarbamate and xanthate) were not effectively activated in the presence of ZnTPP. This selectivity was likely attributed to a specific interaction between ZnTPP and trithiocarbonates, suggesting novel recognition at the mol. level. This interaction between the photoredox catalyst and trithiocarbonate group confers specific properties to this polymn., such as oxygen tolerance, enabling living radical polymn. in the presence of air and also ability to manipulate the polymn. rates (kpapp from 1.2-2.6 × 10-2 min-1) by varying the visible wavelengths.

We demonstrate that eosin Y and fluorescein were efficient catalysts to activate a photoinduced electron transfer-reversible addn.-fragmentation chain transfer (PET-RAFT) mechanism. The concn. of eosin Y was varied from 10 to 100 ppm with respect to monomers. This polymn. technique yielded well-defined (co)polymers with a good control of the mol. wts. ranging from 10 000 to 100 000 g mol-1 and low polydispersities (PDI < 1.30). A variety of functional monomers, including N,N-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate, hydroxyl Et methacrylate, pentafluorophenyl methacrylate, glycidyl methacrylate, oligo(ethylene glycol) Me ether methacrylate (OEGMA), and methacrylic acid, were successfully polymd. Finally, the addn. of a tertiary amine, such as triethylamine, afforded the polymn. in the presence of air via a reductive quenching cycle. Different diblock polymethacrylate copolymers, i.e.PMMA-b-POEGMA and PMMA-b-PMMA, were prepd. to demonstrate the high end group fidelity.

(Royal Society of Chemistry)Efficient photoredox catalysts contg. transition metals, such as iridium and ruthenium, to initiate org. reactions and polymn. under visible light have recently emerged. However, these catalysts are composed of rare metals, which limit their applications. In this study, we report an efficient photoinduced living radical polymn. process that involves the use of chlorophyll as the photoredox biocatalyst. We demonstrate that chlorophyll a (the most abundant chlorophyll in plants) can activate a photoinduced electron transfer (PET) process that initiates a reversible addn.-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymn. under blue and red LED light (λmax = 461 and 635 nm, resp.). This process controls a wide range of functional and non-functional monomers, and offers excellent control over mol. wts. and polydispersities. The end group fidelity was demonstrated by NMR, UV-vis spectroscopy, and successful chain extensions for the prepn. of diblock copolymers.

DMAM was polymd. with [FeCp(CO)2]2 in conjunction with an alkyl iodide [(CH3)2C(CO2Et)I] as an initiator in the presence of Y(OTf)3 in toluene/methanol (1/1) at 60 °C to be converted almost quant. to the polymers with controlled mol. wts. and high isotacticity (m > 80%), wherein the Fe-complex generates radical species from a covalent C-I bond of the dormant species and the Lewis acid controls the stereochem. of the polymn. via coordination with the amide groups of the polymer terminal and the monomer. A series of Lewis acids were also used for the iron(I)-catalyzed DMAM polymn., and Yb(OTf)3 and Yb(NTf2)3 proved effective in giving isotactic polymers without deteriorating the mol. wt. control similar to Y(OTf)3.

Stereo-block polymn. of DMAM via a one-pot reaction was also achieved by just adding the Y(OTf)3 methanol soln. in the course of the polymn. to give atactic-b-isotactic poly(DMAM).

The MMA polymn. in the presence of scandium trifluoromethanesulfonate [Sc(OTf)3] in toluene or CHCl3 produced a polymer with a higher isotacticity and heterotacticity than that produced in the absence of Sc(OTf)3. Similar effects were obsd. during the polymn. of the other monomers. ScCl3, Yb(OTf)3, Er(OTf)3, HfCl4, HfBr4, and In(OTf)3 also increased the isotacticity and heterotacticity of the polymers. The effects of the Lewis acids were greater in a solvent with a lower polarity and were negligible in THF and N,N-dimethylformamide. Sc(OTf)3 was also found to accelerate the polymn. of MMA.

(Royal Society of Chemistry)The absorption characteristics of a large set of thiocarbonyl based chain transfer agents (CTAs) were studied by UV-vis spectroscopy in order to identify appropriate conditions for exploiting their absorbance bands in end-group anal. of polymers prepd. by reversible addn.-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymn. Substitution pattern and solvent polarity were found to affect notably the wavelengths and intensities of the π-π*- and n-π*-transition of the thiocarbonyl bond of dithioester and trithiocarbonate RAFT agents. Therefore, it is advisable to refer in end group anal. to the spectral parameters of low molar mass analogs of the active polymer chain ends, rather than to rely on the specific RAFT agent engaged in the polymn. When using appropriate conditions, the quantification of the thiocarbonyl end-groups via the π-π* band of the thiocarbonyl moiety around 300-310 nm allows a facile, sensitive and surprisingly precise estn. of the no. av. molar mass of the polymers produced, without the need of particular end group labels. Moreover, when addnl. methods for abs. molar mass detn. can be applied, the quantification of the thiocarbonyl end-groups by UV-spectroscopy provides a good est. of the degree of active end group for a given polymer sample.

(John Wiley & Sons, Inc.)A-B-A stereoblock polymers with atactic poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) as a hydrophilic block (either A or B) and a non-water-sol. block consisting of isotactic PNIPAM were synthesized using reversible addn. fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymns. Yttrium trifluoromethanesulfonate was used in the tacticity control, and bifunctional S,S'-bis(α,α'-dimethyl-α''-acetic acid)-trithiocarbonate (BDAT) was utilized as a RAFT agent. Chain structures of the A-B-A stereoblock copolymers were detd. using 1H NMR, SEC, and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. BDAT proved to be an efficient RAFT agent in the controlled synthesis of stereoregular PNIPAM, and both atactic and isotactic PNIPAM were successfully used as macro RAFT agents. The glass transition temps. (Tg) of the resulting polymers were measured by differential scanning calorimetry. We found that the Tg of isotactic PNIPAM is mol. wt. dependent and varies in the present case between 115 and 158°. Stereoblock copolymers show only one Tg, indicating the miscibility of the blocks. Correspondingly, the Tg may be varied by varying the mutual lengths of the A and B blocks. The phase sepn. of aq. solns. upon increasing temp. is strongly affected by the isotactic blocks. At a fixed concn. (5 mg/mL), an increase of the isotacticity of the stereoblock copolymers decreases the demixing temp.

(John Wiley & Sons, Inc.)The stereospecific living radical polymns. of Me methacrylate (MMA) and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) were achieved with a combination of ruthenium-catalyzed living radical and solvent-mediated stereospecific radical polymns. Among a series of ruthenium complexes [RuCl2(PPh3)3, Ru(Ind)Cl(PPh3)2, and RuCp*Cl(PPh3)2], Cp*-ruthenium afforded polymethyl methacrylate with highly controlled mol. wts. [wt. av. mol. wt./no. av. mol. wt. (Mw/Mn) = 1.08] and high syndiotacticity (r = 88%) in a fluoroalc. such as (CF3)2C(Ph)OH at 0°. On the other hand, a hydroxy-functionalized monomer, HEMA, was polymd. with RuCp*Cl(PPh3)2 in N,N-dimethylformamide and N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMA) to give syndiotactic polymers (r = 87-88%) with controlled mol. wts. (Mw/Mn = 1.12-1.16). This was the first example of the syndiospecific living radical polymn. of HEMA. A fluoroalc. [(CF3)2C(Ph)OH], which induced the syndiospecific radical polymn. of MMA, reduced the syndiospecificity in the HEMA polymn. to result in more or less atactic polymers (mm/mr/rr = 7.2/40.9/51.9%) with controlled mol. wts. in the presence of RuCp*Cl(PPh3)2 at 80°. A successive living radical polymn. of HEMA in two solvents, first DMA followed by (CF3)2C(Ph)OH, resulted in stereoblock poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) with syndiotactic-atactic segments.

(Royal Society of Chemistry)The control of the polymn. of a wide range of monomers under mild conditions by a single catalyst remains a major challenge in polymer science. We report a versatile, well-defined organocobalt salen complex to control living radical polymn. of different categories of monomers, including acrylates, acrylamides and vinyl acetate, under visible light irradn. at ambient temp. Both household light and sunlight were effectively applied in the synthesis of polymers with controlled mol. wts. and narrow polydispersities. Narrowly dispersed block copolymers (Mw/Mn < 1.2) were obtained under various conditions. The structures of the polymers were analyzed by 1H NMR, 12D NMR, 13C NMR, GPC, MALDI-TOF-MS and isotopic labeling expts., which showed that the ω and α ends of the polymer chains were capped with (salen)Co and -CO2CH3 segments, resp., from the photoinitiator (salen)Co-CO2CH3. The Ω end was easily functionalized through oxygen insertion followed by hydrolysis from 18O2 to -18OH. This robust system can proceed without any additives, and offers a versatile and green way to produce well-defined homo and block copolymers.

(Elsevier Ltd.)Poly(acrylamide) (PAM) with controlled mol. wt. and tacticity was prepd. by UV-irradn.-initiated controlled/living radical polymn. in the presence of dibenzyl trithiocarbonate (DBTTC) and Y(OTf)3. The rapid and facile photo-initiated controlled/living polymn. at ambient temp. led to controlled mol. wt. and narrow polydispersity (M w /M n = 1.12-1.24) of PAM. The coordination of Y(OTf)3 with the last two amide groups in the growing chain radical effectively enhanced isotacticity of PAM. The isotactic sequence of dyads (m), triads (mm) and pentads (mmmm) in PAM were 70.32%, 50.95%, and 29.97%, resp., which were detd. by the resonance of methine (CH) groups in PAM under 13C NMR expt. Factors affecting stereocontrol during the polymn. were studied, including the type of Lewis acids, concn. of Y(OTf)3, and monomer conversion. It is intriguing that the meso tacticity increased gradually with chain propagation and quite higher isotacticity (m = 93.01%, mm = 86.57%) was obtained in the later polymn. stage (conversion 65-85%).

(Royal Society of Chemistry)The synthesis of stereogradient polymers with tacticities that vary from predominantly syndiotactic to highly isotactic was investigated by reversible addn.-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) copolymn. of bulky methacrylates, such as triphenylmethyl methacrylate (TrMA) and 1-phenyldibenzosuberyl methacrylate (PDBSMA) and methacrylic acid (MAA) in both non-polar and polar solvents. The MAA monomer showed increased reactivity in toluene because of hydrogen bonding and was consumed slightly faster than TrMA or PDBSMA. However, the RAFT copolymn. of TrMA and MAA in 1,4-dioxane resulted in consumption of both monomers at the same rate. The copolymers can be easily converted to homopoly(MAA) by the acid hydrolysis of the bulky group and converted further to poly(Me methacrylate) by Me esterification using trimethylsilyldiazomethane to analyze the mol. wts. and tacticity. The mol. wts. of the polymers obtained in both solvents increased with monomer conversion, which indicates that controlled/living radical copolymn. proceeded irresp. of the solvents. 13C NMR analyses of the polymers revealed that stereogradient polymers were produced in toluene, in which the tacticity changed from mm = 11% to nearly 100%, whereas the copolymers obtained in 1,4-dioxane resulted in nearly atactic enchainment (rr/mr/mm ≈ 38/49/13), independent of monomer conversion. A similar stereogradient copolymer was also obtained by RAFT copolymn. of PDBSMA and MAA in toluene, where the isotacticity changed more gradually from mm = 14% to nearly 100%.
