Title: | Living Polymerization via Anionic Initiation for the Synthesis of Well-Defined PPV Materials | Authors: | COSEMANS, Inge WOUTERS, Jimmy CLEIJ, Thomas LUTSEN, Laurence MAES, Wouter JUNKERS, Tanja VANDERZANDE, Dirk |
Issue Date: | 2012 | Publisher: | WILEY-BLACKWELL | Source: | MACROMOLECULAR RAPID COMMUNICATIONS, 33 (3), p. 242-247 | Abstract: | The anionic polymerization of PPV via the sulfinyl precursor route is further investigated. When LHMDS is employed as the base to form the actively propagating quinodimethane system and THF as the solvent, anionic polymerizations can be observed. With the use of tert- butyl-substituted anionic initiators, specific functional groups can be built in the polymer chain and the chain length can be efficiently controlled, which is demonstrated here for the first time. With introduction of branched side chains on the aromatic core, soluble conjugated PPV material can be obtained with molecular weights in the range of 500016 000 g mol-1. | Notes: | [Cosemans, Inge; Wouters, Jimmy; Cleij, Thomas; Maes, Wouter; Junkers, Thomas; Vanderzande, Dirk] Hasselt Univ, Inst Mat Res IMO Organ & Bio Polymer Chem, B-3590 Diepenbeek, Belgium.
