  • semi aromatic polyesters by alternating ring opening copolymerisation of styrene oxide and Anhydrides
    Polymer Chemistry, 2012
    Co-Authors: Elham Hosseini Nejad, Anita Paoniasari, C Cor E Koning, Rob Duchateau
    Abstract:

    Ring-opening copolymerisation of styrene oxide with alicyclic Anhydrides containing different ring strains (succinic anhydride, maleic anhydride, citraconic anhydride, cyclopropane-1,2-dicarboxylic acid anhydride, cyclopentane-1,2-dicarboxylic acid anhydride and phthalic anhydride) was performed applying metal salen and tetraphenyl porphyrin complexes where for (salen)MX, M = Cr, X = Cl (1), M = Al, X = Cl (2), M = Mn, X = Cl (3), M = Co, X = OAc (4) and salen = N,N-bis(3,5-di-tert-butylsalicylidene)-diimine and for porphyrin complex, M = Cr, X = Cl (5), M = Mn, X = Cl (6), M = Co, X = OAc (7). The chromium catalysts performed best and therefore 1 was chosen as the selected catalyst for further studies. Investigation of the effect of different cocatalysts on the copolymerisation of styrene oxide and phthalic anhydride revealed that phosphines and onium salt showed quite similar activities whereas N-heterocyclic based amines showed somewhat lower activity. 1H NMR and MALDI-ToF-MS spectra of the copolymers formed confirmed the alternating microstructures. Increasing the monomer to catalyst ratio resulted in the isomerisation of styrene oxide to phenyl ethanal. The aldehyde functions as a chain transfer agent influencing the molecular weight of the polymers. Copolymerisation of styrene oxide with Anhydrides bearing a double bond in their structure, such as maleic anhydride and citraconic anhydride, was shown to be highly dependent on temperature, time, type of cocatalyst and solvent used in the copolymerisation reaction.

  • ring opening co and terpolymerization of an alicyclic oxirane with carboxylic acid Anhydrides and co2 in the presence of chromium porphyrinato and salen catalysts
    Macromolecules, 2011
    Co-Authors: Saskia Huijser, C Cor E Koning, Elham Hosseininejad, R Rafael J Sablong, Chris De Jong, Rob Duchateau
    Abstract:

    Copolymerization of cyclohexene oxide (CHO) with alicyclic Anhydrides applying chromium tetraphenylprophyrinato (TPPCrCl, 1) and salophen (SalophenCrCl, 2) catalysts resulted in polyesters or poly(ester-co-ether)s, depending on the nature of the catalyst, presence of a cocatalyst, solvent and type of anhydride. The combination of 1 as catalyst and 4-N,N-dimethylamino-pyridine (DMAP) as cocatalyst in the copolymerization of CHO with succinic anhydride (SA), cyclopropane-1,2-dicarboxylic acid anhydride (CPrA), cyclopentane-1,2-dicarboxylic acid anhydride (CPA) or phthalic anhydride (PA) invariably resulted in a completely alternating topology and therefore a pure polyester. Contrarily, 2 in combination with DMAP did not afford pure polyesters for the copolymerization of CHO with SA or CPrA but did render the alternating topology when CPA or PA was used as anhydride comonomer. Water proved to be an efficient bifunctional CTA affording α,ω-hydroxyl-terminated polyesters without loss of catalytic activity. Whe...
