Photoinduced Cross‐Linking of Dynamic Poly(disulfide) Films via Thiol Oxidative Coupling

Abstract: Initially developed as an elastomer with an excellent record of barrier and chemical resistance properties, poly(disulfide) has experienced a revival linked to the dynamic nature of the S-S covalent bond. A novel photobase-catalyzed oxidative polymerization of multifunctional thiols to poly(disulfide) network is reported. Based solely on air oxidation, the single-step process is triggered by the photodecarboxylation of a xanthone acetic acid liberating a strong bicyclic guanidine base. Starting with a 1 μm thi… Show more

“…The oxidative coupling reaction utilized to deliver polydisulfides (Scheme B) has been recognized since the 1940s, and takes usually place in the presence of oxidation reagents such as oxygen, iodine, hydrogen peroxides, and dimethyl sulfoxide among others, or can be induced electrochemically. In fact, the catalyst‐free oxygen oxidative polymerization was not efficient to produce polymers with more than eight repeat units in average .…”

“…Radiation control of polymerization relies on the photogeneration of a superbase catalyst (1,5,7-triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-ene: TBD) through a photobase generator (xanthone propionic acid-protected TBD, PBG, see Table 1) [17]. Using this PBG, we have recently demonstrated the feasibility of multiple thiol air oxidation of polyfunctional thiol monomers to yield disulfide cross-linked films [18,19], but the photooxidative polymerization of PdS resin is unprecedented. In terms of mechanism, given that thiols are more acidic than alcohols by an average of about 5 pK a units (pK a = 5-11), TBD (pK a ≈ 13.5) can readily react with a thiol to form a thiolate anions RS − acting as a much better electron donor [20].…”
