AbstractGrubbs II generation catalyst (3), bearing a fluorinated imidazolinium ligand, was investigated in cross metathesis (CM), ring closing metathesis (RCM) and ring opening polymerization metathesis (ROMP) for a variety of substrates. Kinetic studies showed reduced stability of the catalyst in methylene chloride following the first 15 minutes of reaction preventing a higher efficiency despite the very high activity. Beneficial solvent effects on the catalyst stability were observed by performing RCM in C6F6.

High-level ab initio calculations have been used to determine the propensities of various phosphetanes towards radical ring-opening polymerization. At the G3(MP2)-RAD level of theory, the propagation rate constants of 1-methylphosphetane (7.5 × 104 L mol–1 s–1), 1-phenylphosphetane (4.6 × 105 L mol–1 s–1), cis,cis-2,4-dichloro-1-phenylphosphetane (3.8 × 107 L mol–1 s–1), cis,cis-2,4-difluoro-1-phenylphosphetane (3.0 × 107 L mol–1 s–1), and 1-phenyl-3-oxaphosphetane (4.0 × 106 L mol–1 s–1) are very high, rendering them unsuitable for copolymerization with common alkenes. In contrast, the propagation rate constants of 1-tert-butylphosphetane (1.7 × 103 L mol–1 s–1) and cis,cis-2,4-dimethyl-1-phenylphosphetane (9.2 × 102 L mol–1 s–1) indicate that either incorporation of a t-butyl substituent at phosphorus or alkylation at the 2- and/or 4-positions will produce monomers with more compatible reactivities for copolymerization with alkenes. In the case of 1-tert-butylphosphetane, however, homolytic substitution of the propagating radical with the t-butyl substituent at P will be competitive with the propagation step and could affect the microstructure of the polymer. The borane adduct and the oxide of 1-phenylphosphetane were both found to be unreactive towards radical ring-opening. The calculations suggest that, for chiral phosphetanes, the ring-opening reaction is enantioselective at phosphorus and the resulting polymer will be isotactic.

The convergence of artificial intelligence and machine learning with material science holds significant promise to rapidly accelerate development timelines of new high-performance polymeric materials. Within this context, we report an inverse design strategy for polycarbonate and polyester discovery based on a recommendation system that proposes polymerization experiments that are likely to produce materials with targeted properties. Following recommendations of the system driven by the historical ring-opening polymerization results, we carried out experiments targeting specific ranges of monomer conversion and dispersity of the polymers obtained from cyclic lactones and carbonates. The results of the experiments were in close agreement with the recommendation targets with few false negatives or positives obtained for each class.<br>
