A new type of photodegradable polymer having a pyrazine moiety in the chain

Abstract: Photooxidative degradation of poly‐2,5‐distyrylpyrazine (poly‐DSP) has been studied in detail. Both amorphous poly‐DSP film and poly‐DSP solution were photooxygenated and degraded by irradiation by sunlight in the air. The nitrile group was formed, together with carbonyl groups and hydroxyl group. The photodegradation of a pyrazine derivative to a nitrile derivative is a new reaction. Next, photodegradation behavior of polymers having a cyclobutane moiety in the main chain, poly‐1,4‐bis[2‐(2‐pyridyl)‐vinyl]ben… Show more

“…From the results, the photooxidative deterioration of the pyrazine ring in the polymer is obvious as is observed for the poly-DSP. 13 For the initial step of the deterioration of the pyrazine ring, it is presumed that the biradical from the cleavage of the cyclobutane ring attacks the nitrogen in the pyrazine ring to result in a radical cation. However, the photooxidative degradation mechanism has not been made clear yet.…”

“…Anomalous poly-DSP is rapidly photooxidized in the air upon exposure to sunlight and produces nitrile derivatives, together with products containing carbonyl and hydroxyl groups, suggesting the degradation of the pyrazine ring (ref. 30). The structural trigger of the photooxidation has not yet been characterized, although a great effect of acidic media on the nitrile formation has been recognized.…”
