Precise Synthesis of Substituted Polyacetylenes

Fumio SANDA
<要旨> Substituted polyacetylenes have received considerable attention, owing to their properties resulting from the π-conjugated backbone such as photoconductivity and electroluminescence. The introduction of functional groups at the side chains provides polyacetylenes with useful structural features including liquid crystallinity, molecular recognition, stimuli-responsiveness, and gas permeability. Substituted polyacetylenes are synthesized by the polymerization of the corresponding acetylene monomers using transition-metal catalysts. Rh catalysts bearing a triphenylvinyl group polymerize substituted acetylene monomers in a living fashion to give polymers with controlled molecular weights, geometry and end structures. Pd catalysts bearing bulky phosphine ligands polymerize disubstituted acetylene monomers via the coordination-insertion mechanism. Substituted polyacetylenes bearing chiral substituents adopt helical conformations, whose predominant screw sense transforms between right- and left-handed in CHCl3/MeOH with respect to the solvent composition. The polymers prefer conformations with large dipole moments in polar media, confirmed by the semi empirical molecular orbital calculations, COSMO method.

New Developments of Pd-Initiated Polymerization of Diazoacetates
下元 浩晃・井原 栄治

<要旨> Recent developments of Pd-initiated polymerization of diazoacetates are described. Polymerization of diazoacetates is a useful method for preparing C-C main chain polymers bearing an ester substituent on each main chain carbon atom [poly(substituted methylene)s]. However, the substituents introduced into the side chain were limited to hydrophobic groups, and controlled polymerization has not been achieved so far. Recently, we have successfully synthesized poly(substituted methylene)s with hydrophilic groups including hydroxy group and oligo(ethylene glycol) units. The resulting polymers were found to show higher hydrophilicity compared to the corresponding vinyl polymer counterparts. In addition, we have succeeded in controlling the polymerization of diazoacetates for the first time by employing cyclophosphazene-containing diazoacetates as monomers.

放射光X線吸収分光を利用した重合反応機構の解明
Elucidating the Mechanism of Polymerization using Synchrotron X-Ray Absorption Spectroscopy
平井 智康
Tomoyasu HIRAI
<要旨> Polymerization of 3-hexylthiophene (3HT) with FeCl3 is simple, efficient, and has been widely adopted for both laboratory and industrial scale production purpose. However, there remains considerable debate regarding the polymerization mechanism. We have used partial fluorescence yield X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) techniques to monitor the change in valence state of the solid FeCl3 particles in CHCl3 and hexane. The FeCl3 acts as a catalyst when the reaction is performed in CHCl3, but behaves as an oxidant in hexane. The catalytic behavior is attributed to the decomposition of CHCl3, which has been previously reported to oxidize Fe2+ to Fe3+. This is the first report on the catalytic role of FeCl3 during the polymerization of 3HT in CHCl3.

<要旨> Recent progress in the synthesis of polymers possessing extended π-electronic systems is reviewed. That is, polymers possessing through space π-electronic interactions and those having π-conjugated systems along the main chain are focused from the viewpoint of polymer synthetic chemistry. Regarding the synthesis of π-conjugated polymers, new methods such as the catalyst-transfer polymerizations, the direct arylation polycondensations, the three-component polycondensations, and the main chain-transformations of the organometallic polymer precursors are described. Some characteristics of the polymers obtained by these methods are also briefly described.
