Polymers containing disulfide, tetrasulfide, diselenide and ditelluride linkages in the main chain

Abstract: The present review articulates the syntheses and properties of industrially important disulfide and tetrasulfide polymers. The diselenide and ditelluride polymers have also been reviewed, for the first time, so that a comprehensive view on the polymers containing group VIA elements can be obtained. The latter two polymers are gaining considerable current attention due to their semi-conducting properties. The emphasis has been made to sift through the developments in the last ten years or so to get the latest f… Show more

“…[22][23][24] The synthetic routes for diselenide-containing polymers include polycondensation of alkalidiselenides with dihalides, oxidation of diselenols, reduction of diseleninic acids, hydrolysis of alkanediselenocyanates, and ring opening polymerization of cyclic diselenide monomers, postmodifi cation of polymers, etc. [25][26][27] Our group has developed two novel strategies for the controlled synthesis of diselenidecontaining polymers with well-defi ned molecular weights and architectures: (i) diselenocarbonate-mediated controlled radical polymerization, aminolysis of the polymers and then spontaneous oxidation of selenol generated by aminolysis; [ 28,29 ] (ii) atom transfer radical polymerization followed by terminal halogen substitution with Na 2 Se 2 via nucleophilic attack. [ 30 ] By installing the multiresponsive diselenide group into the backbone of cyclic polymer, the topological transformation of diselenide-containing polymer is envisaged upon various stimuli to afford facile switches among several topologies.…”

“…Preparations of many polymers containing mono-, di-, tri-, or polysulfide bonds and their applications have been investigated by many scientists and engineers [1]. For example, poly(disulfide)s having disulfide bonds in their main or side chains showed many functions, such as self-sorting, building supramolecular systems [2].…”
