Visible Light-Mediated Photoclick Functionalization of a Conjugated Polymer Backbone

Abstract: Efficient postpolymerization functionalization of conjugated polymer backbones is generally challenging. Here, we report the first example of a conjugated polymer backbone that can be functionalized using visible light. This polymer contains a 9,10-phenanthrenequinone moiety in the conjugated backbone, which reacts with electron-rich vinyl ethers via visible light-mediated photoclick chemistry. Synthesis of the 9,10-phenanthrenequinone dibromide monomer requires only a single step from commercially available p… Show more

“…While AzPEG(3) was completely removed from the surface with water, small amounts of AzPEG(9) remained on the surface after washing with water (Figure S8). Therefore, AzPEG (9) and AzPEG (14) were next washed using solvents that dissolve AzPEG well, such as methanol and acetone. As a result, the FT-IR peak associated with the azide group was completely absent after washing the AzPEG(9)-treated surface with methanol (Figure S8).…”

“…These transformations require some combination of elevated temperature, prolonged reaction time, or catalyst to achieve quantitative functionalization. We recently reported a phenanthrenequinone‐containing conjugated polymer that could undergo catalyst‐free photoclick functionalization with vinyl ethers under ambient conditions [30] . This work demonstrated the first example of spatially resolved conjugated polymer backbone functionalization using light.…”

“…A biologically useful demonstration of the power of this approach was the modification of the hydrophobic PQ backbone with vinyl ether modified polyethylene glycol, creating a uniquely water soluble conjugated polymer. [ 172 ] Determination of the reaction rates for PQ photochemistry and the ability to modify the chemistry to be activated with longer wavelength NIR light will determine its potential as a truly bioorthogonal photoclick reaction.…”
