Photoinitiated cationic polymerization using o‐phthaldehyde and pyridinium salt

Abstract: The cationic polymerization of cyclohexene oxide (CHO), n‐butyl vinylether (BVE), N‐vinylcarbazole (NVC), and 4‐vinyl cyclohexenedioxide (4‐VCHD) is initiated upon UV irradiation (Λinc. = 350 nm) of dichloromethane solution containing N‐ethoxy‐2‐methyl‐pyridinium hexafluorophosphate (EMP+PF6) and o‐phthaldehyde. A feasible initiation mechanism involves formation of biradical by intramolecular hydrogen abstraction of triplet o‐phthaldehyde. Oxidation of these radicals by EMP+ ions yields protons capable of init… Show more

“…The acid generation proceeds through a photoinduced electron transfer (PeT) from the excited chromophores to the PAG. Another elegant strategy, namely the free radical promoted cationic polymerization (FRPCP), 9,[21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30] concerns the use of photogenerated radicals (Rc) as strong reductants, which are oxidized by iodonium or sulfonium salts. All these sensitizing methods can be directly transposed to two-photon excitation.…”

“…Additionally, o-phthaldehyde was employed to promote the cationic polymerization process by the formation of biradicals through intramolecular hydrogen abstraction in the excited state (Scheme 16). 221 Subsequent oxidation of the biradicals by pyridinium salt and further decomposition to yield Bronsted acid initiated cationic polymerization. As previously shown, electron transfer reactions from the radicals formed this way to the onium salt oxidize radicals to cationic species that are capable of initiating cationic polymerization of various monomers.…”

“…All initiators are able to initiate polymerization of MMA in the absence of additional co‐initiator, confirming the one‐component nature. Hydrogen abstraction in case of TX‐A occurs from the aldehyde group of the initiator, as observed earlier while hydrogen abstraction in case of the new synthesized initiators occurs from the ethyleneamine moiety. Adding TEA however, increases the conversion and leads to polymers with higher average molecular‐weight.…”
