Mild and efficient bromination of poly(hydroxyethyl acrylate) and its use towards ionic-liquid containing polymers

Abstract

International audienceAn original and mild bromination protocol allows a poly(hydroxyethyl acrylate) polymer synthesized by ATRP to be converted readily and quantitatively into its corresponding poly(bromoethyl acrylate) analogue. We show that the latter can be used as a common precursor towards ionic-liquid containing polymer

Keto-polymethines: a versatile class of dyes with outstanding spectroscopic properties for in cellulo and in vivo two-photon microscopy imaging

“…S2†). By analogy with previous studies, 14,16 the observed discrepancies between the two techniques were attributed to the branched nature of the polymer chains that leads to an overestimation of polydispersity indexes by GPC. 17 A minimal length of 80 units was found to be necessary for the target biological application, as our attempts to produce shorter chains resulted in a non-water soluble material.…”

Mediating Gel Formation from Structurally Controlled Poly(Electrolytes) Through Multiple “Head-to-Body” Electrostatic Interactions

“…In the case of In1, the phosphonate moiety was introduced in its ethyl-protected form, using a straightforward two-step methodology. Then, the ethylphosphonate-(PIm1) and ethyl-terminated (PIm2) polymers were synthesized according to the same general methodology as described in a previous report [13]. This methodology relies on the following three-step sequence consisting of i) ATRP of hydroxyethylacrylate followed by ii) nucleophilic substitution of the pendant hydroxyl group with bromide ions and iii) addition of methylimidazole, resulting in quaternarization of the nucleophile ( Figure 1).…”

High Anion Conductivity and Low Water Uptake of Phosphonium Containing Diblock Copolymer Membranes

“…The resultant polymer was precipitated in a mixture of hexane:isopropylalcohol (9:1), filtered, and dried in a vacuum oven at 40°C overnight. Our procedure is similar to that reported by Appukuttan et al 38 1 H NMR (CDCl 3 , 500 MHz, δ):…”
