Organometallic‐Mediated Radical Polymerization of Vinylidene Fluoride

Abstract: An unprecedentedl evel of controlf or ther adical polymerization of vinylidene fluoride (VDF), yielding well-definedPVDF(at leastupto14500 gmol À1 )withlow dispersity ( 1.32), wasa chievedu sing organometallic-mediatedr adical polymerization (OMRP) with an organocobalt compound as initiator. Theh ighc hain-end fidelity wasd emonstratedb ythe synthesiso fP VDF-andP VA c-containing di-and triblock copolymers.DFT calculations rationalizethe efficientreactivation of both head andtailc hain enddormant species.

“…Another puzzling result is that, although the occurrence of RRT (stoichiometrically oxidizing the ATRP activator complex L/Cu I to an inactive L/Cu II X complex) is promoted by water and other proton donors, the complexes investigated in the present study are quite robust ATRP catalysts even in water, to give well-controlled halogen-capped macromolecules with high chain-end fidelity. A full understanding of how radicals interact with L/Cu I complexes under polymerization conditions is paramount not only to rationalize the good performance of ATRP catalysts and possibly further improve them, but also for implementing polymerizations successfully controlled by only OMRP, which presents certain advantages in particular for less activated monomers, [69][70][71] without interference of metal-catalyzed or mediated terminations (CRT or RRT).…”

“…Successful controlled radical polymerizations (CRP) of VDF have also been reported including iodine transfer polymerization (ITP), reversible addition-fragmentation transfer (RAFT) polymerization and borane-mediated polymerization [19,27,28].…”

“…Interestingly, the device can regulate VDF polymerization that acts as a counter-radical [23,25]. For the controlled synthesis of PVDF, the organometallic-mediated radical polymerization (OMRP) of vinylidene fluoride (VDF) using an alkyl cobalt(III) compound as the initiator has recently proven successful [26]. The straightforward synthesis of well-defined poly(VDF) and its block copolymers through OMRP was performed from readily available compounds using a two-component initiating method.…”
