Abstract
Z-Specific (99% cis) and E-specific (90% trans) syntheses of functionalized bottlebrush polymers (BBPs) by living ring opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) of exo-N-substituted norbornene-2,3-dicarboximides (NDIs) containing terthiophene (3T) and pyrene (Pyr) moieties connected to a long methylene spacer (n-dodecyl) have been demonstrated by the (arylimido)-vanadium(V)-alkylidene catalysts in toluene at 50 °C. Thermal properties in the resultant BBPs measured by DSC thermograms are affected by the cis/trans selectivity; the resultant cis-BBPs containing 3T possessed a melting temperature at 111.2 °C, whereas the corresponding trans-BBPs are amorphous. The differences in cis-/trans-BBPs (containing 3T, Pyr) toward the emission properties have also been demonstrated due to a different degree in the inter/intra-polymer interaction through the functionality.
期刊介绍:
ACS Macro Letters publishes research in all areas of contemporary soft matter science in which macromolecules play a key role, including nanotechnology, self-assembly, supramolecular chemistry, biomaterials, energy generation and storage, and renewable/sustainable materials. Submissions to ACS Macro Letters should justify clearly the rapid disclosure of the key elements of the study. The scope of the journal includes high-impact research of broad interest in all areas of polymer science and engineering, including cross-disciplinary research that interfaces with polymer science.
With the launch of ACS Macro Letters, all Communications that were formerly published in Macromolecules and Biomacromolecules will be published as Letters in ACS Macro Letters.
