摘要
The CO2/propylene oxide (PO) copolymerization is reported. 2,4-nitrophenolate (DNP) anions attack PO, becoming alkoxide anions which subsequently react with CO2 to be carbonate anions in the polymerization reaction. The anion at a growing-chain end deprotonates water to be a neutral polymer chain, and a new polymer chain starts to grow from the generated hydroxyl anion in the presence of water impurity. The neutral polymer chain is dormant, but it re-enters the chain-growing process when it is reversely deprotonated, consequently resulting in a bimodal distribution in the GPC curve. Polymer chains in the main high-molecular-weight modal are the ones grown biaxially from adipic acid, while those of the minor low-molecular-weight modal are the ones grown from NO3- or acetate anion. A poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) melting signal is observed at 53-55 °C along with a poly(propylene carbonate) (PPC) Tg signal in the DSC studies of PPC-block-PEG copolymers that are produced by feeding high-molecular-weight PEG.
