Norbornene Vinyl Polymerization
Norbornene or cyclopentene a variety of heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysts have been developed.
Norbornene vinyl polymerization. 5 ethylidene 2 norbornene enb polymerization and copolymerization with ethylene e catalyzed by constrained geometry catalyst 2 tetramethylcyclopentadienyl 4 6 di tert butylphenoxytitanium dichloride 1 were studied in the presence of al i bu 3 and ph 3 cb c 6 f 5 4 tiba b the catalyst system shows moderate activity on the homopolymerization of enb and higher activity on the. The corresponding cationic. Ring opening metathesis polymerization romp is a type of olefin metathesis chain growth polymerization the driving force of the reaction is relief of ring strain in cyclic olefins e g. Molecular weight 120 19.
It was found that b c6f5 3 in combination with caprylic acid 1 phenylethanol or water was a highly active catalyst for the polymerization of 5 alkylidene 2 norbornenes. Pubchem substance id 24848915. Cationic polymerization of 5 methylene 2 norbornene 5 ethylidene 2 norbornene 5 vinyl 2 norbornene dicyclopentadiene and norbornadiene 2 5 in the presence of boranes was systematically studied. 5 vinyl 2 norbornene mixture of endo and exo 95 contains 80 150 ppm bht as inhibitor cas number 3048 64 4.
Cross linked xl anion exchange membranes aems synthesized by vinyl addition polymerization of norbornene were prepared for use in anion exchange membrane electrochemical devices including fuel cells and electrolyzers. Tetrablock copolymers composed of an all hydrocarbon backbone with a very high ion exchange capacity iec 3 46 mequiv g were synthesized. Nickel complexes for the vinyl polymerization of norbornene were introduced in the 1990s. The way of polymerization is determined by the catalyst nature.
The vinyl polymerization and copolymerization of norbornene and other cycloolefins with both palladium and nickel catalysts has mostly been described within the same patent. Pd dibenzylideneacetone 2 when activated in situ with 1 equiv of cph 3 b c 6 f 5 4 in the presence of 1 equiv of p c 6 h 11 3 efficiently catalyzed the addition polymerization and copolymerization of norbornene and its derivatives homopolymerization of 5 vinyl 2 norbornene took place regio selectively with the endo cyclic double bond to give high molecular weight polymers while the. Vinyl addition polymerization of norbornene derivatives provides the formation of high t g polymers with saturated rigid backbone which possess good thermal and chemical stability 11 21. Most large scale commercial processes rely on the former while some fine chemical syntheses rely on the.
Empirical formula hill notation c 9 h 12. In general polycycloalkenes from a vinyl polymerization show extremely high melting points which lie above their decomposition temperatures in air.
