Enthalpy-Driven Ring-Opening Polymerization of Highly Strained Macrocyclic Biaryl-Ether-Ketones

Abstract: Highly strained macrocyclic ether−ketones obtained by nickel-catalyzed cyclization of linear precursor oligomers undergo ring-opening polymerization via ether exchange in the presence of nucleophilic initiators such as fluoride or phenoxide anions. Strain enthapies of these macrocycles, from DSC analyses of their exothermic ring-opening polymerization are in the range 50−90 kJ mol-1. Melt-phase polymerization generally affords slightly cross-linked materials, but solution-phase polymerization at high macrocycl… Show more

“…Enthalpy-driven ROP of the cycles (5-8 atoms) show that the high levels of strain evident in their structures can be determined semiquantitatively in terms of the enthalpy released during ROP 159 and entropy-driven ROP stainless macrocyclic monomers and/or oligomers (>14 atoms) employs the ring-chain equilibria between macrocycles and their corresponding polymers and the associated increase of conformational freedom to achieve high molecular weight materials. 160,161 ROP is like a chain polymerization, consisting of a sequence of initiation, propagation, and termination.…”
