Cyclic polymers exhibit unique properties in comparison with their linear analogs. However
it remains challenging to develop highly efficient and controllable strategy for synthesis of cyclic polymers. Recently
Prof. Zhang group from the State Key Laboratory of Supramolecular Structure and Materials at Jilin University
designs and synthesizes an intramolecularly
covalently tethered B-P-B trifunctional frustrated Lewis pair catalyst/initiator
composed of two acidic B sites and one basic P sites. Through both the intramolecularly-and intermolecularly synergistic effect
such B-P-B system exhibits "one plus one is greater than two" effect
thus successfully polymerizing
γ
-methyl-
α
-methylene-
γ
-butyrolactone (MMBL) into an authentic cyclic polymer
c
-PMMBL composed entirely of acrylate monomer units. Compared with traditional strategies
this method exhibits good generality and can be employed for rapid synthesis of cyclic polymers
suggesting its potential application in the scalable synthesis of cyclic polymers in the future.
