Epoxide- and oxetane-α,ω-telechelic (co)polyolefins have been successfully synthesized by the tandem ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP)/cross-metathesis (CM) of cyclic olefins using Grubbs’ second-generation catalyst (G2) in the presence of a bifunctional symmetric alkene epoxide- or oxetane-functionalized chain-transfer agent (CTA). From cyclooctene (COE), trans,trans,cis-1,5,9-cyclododecatriene (CDT), norbornene (NB), and methyl 5-norbornene-2-carboxylate (NBCOOMe), with bis(oxiran-2-ylmethyl) maleate (CTA 1), bis(oxetane-2-ylmethyl) maleate (CTA 2), or bis(oxetane-2-ylmethyl) (E)-hex-3-enedioate (CTA 3), well-defined α,ω-di(epoxide or oxetane) telechelic PCOEs, P(COE-co-NB or -NBCOOMe)s, and P(NB-co-CDT)s were isolated under mild operating conditions (40 or 60 °C, 24 h). The oxetane CTA 3 and the epoxide CTA 1 were revealed to be significantly more efficient in the CM step than CTA 2, which apparently inhibits the reaction. Quantitative dithiocarbonatation (CS2/LiBr, 40 °C, THF) of an α,ω-di(epoxide) telechelic P(NB-co-CDT) afforded a convenient approach to the analogous α,ω-bis(dithiocarbonate) telechelic P(NB-co-CDT). The nature of the end-capping function of the epoxide/oxetane/dithiocarbonate telechelic P(NB-co-CDT)s did not impact their thermal signature, as measured by DSC. These copolymers also displayed a low viscosity liquid-like behavior and a shear thinning rheological behavior.

A set of experiments in surface-initiated ring-opening metathesis polymerization, including end-functionalization of growing brushes and contact angle/cyclic voltammetry measurements. We report preparation and CV of two different conjugated polymer films, and several endgroup and sidechain functionalization experiments using cross-metathesis and active ester substitution.<br>

The treatment of benzene solutions of the cations [Re(NO)2(PR3)2][BArF4] (R = Cy and R = iPr; [BArF4] = tetrakis{3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl}borate) with phenyldiazomethane afforded the moderately stable cationic rhenium(I) benzylidene dinitrosyl bis(trialkyl) phosphine complexes as [BArF4]- salts in good yields. The cationic rhenium dinitrosyl bisphosphine complexes catalyze the ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) of highly strained nonfunctionalized cyclic olefins to give polymers with relatively high polydispersity indices, high molecular weights, and Z configurations of the double bonds in the polymer chain backbones of over 80 %. The benzylidene derivatives are almost inactive in ROMP catalysis with norbornene and in olefin metathesis. NMR experiments gave first hints for the initial formation of carbene complexes when [Re(NO)2(PR3)2][BArF4] was treated with norbornene. The carbene formation is initiated by an unique reaction sequence where the cleavage of the strained olefinic bond starts with phosphine migration forming a cyclic ylid carbene complex. The [2+2] addition of a norbornene molecule to the Re=C bond leads to the rhenacyclobutane complex, which is expected to be converted into an iminate complex by attack of the ylid function onto one of the NNO atoms followed by Wittig-type phosphine oxide elimination. The formation of phosphine oxide was confirmed by NMR spectroscopy. This species is thought to drive the ROMP metathesis with alternating rhenacyclobutane formations and cycloreversions. The proposed mechanism is supported by density functional theory (DFT) calculations.
