Ion-trapping and end-capping in ionic polymerizations
- Centre of Molecular and Macromolecular Studies, Lodz (Poland)
Ion-trapping, developed in this laboratory, involves both vinyl and ring-opening polymerizations, anionic and cationic. Originally it was elaborated for cationic ring-opening polymerization and involved reaction of phosphines (mostly triphenylphosphine) with onium ions, like oxonium ions in the polymerization of cyclic ethers. The same method has more recently been used for the cationic polymerization of vinyl ethers, allowing not only to determine the total concentration of the growing species by {sup 31}P-NMR but also to study the stereochemistry of the chain end by the same method. In the anionic ring-opening polymerization diphenylchlorophosphate was applied. It reacts quantitatively with alcoholate, thiolate, and carboxylate anions. More recently diphenylchlorophosphine was successfully used to determine the concentration and structure of the chain ends in the anionic polymerization of styrene, butadiene, isoprene as well as their mixtures.
