Abstract
In order to give an answer for the challenges of long wavelength-photocontrolled radical polymerization in aqueous solutions and to address the shortcomings of conventional near-infrared (NIR) photocatalysts (PCs) that are difficult to subject to post-treatment, we designed and synthesized a series of β-tetra-substituted water-soluble zinc phthalocyanines (β-TS-Zns) as the NIR PCs for reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization successfully under irradiation with NIR (λmax = 730 nm) light at room temperature. Importantly, the NIR PCs can also be designed as polymerizable monomers and covalently loaded on the polymer chains, which are endowed with permanent NIR photocatalysis of the resultant polymers. Moreover, the polymerization can not only be carried out in water but also in phosphate buffer saline (PBS) solution, yielding polymers with controlled molar mass and narrow dispersities (Đ = 1.03-1.25). Therefore, this NIR-photocontrolled aqueous RAFT polymerization system may provide a charming strategy for possible applications in tissue engineering biomaterial in situ benefiting from the high penetration ability of NIR light.

Abstract
Discovering efficient catalysts is highly desired in expanding the application of halogen-bonding catalysis. We herein report our findings on applying triaminocyclopropenium (TAC) iodides as highly potent catalysts for halogen-bonding catalyzed living radical polymerization. Promoted by the unique effect of ion-pair strain between the TAC cation and the iodide anion, the TAC iodides showed high catalytic efficiency in the halogen-bonding catalysis toward radical generation, and surpassed the previously reported organic iodide catalysts. With the TAC iodide as catalyst, radical polymerization with a living feature was successfully realized, which shows general applicability with a variety of monomers and produced block copolymers. In addition, the TAC-iodides also showed promising feasibility in catalyzing the radical depolymerization of iodo-terminated polymethacrylates. Noteworthily, the catalytic capacity of the TAC iodides is demonstrated to be closely related to the electronic properties of the TAC cation, which offers a molecular platform for further catalyst screening and optimization. Promoted by the unique effect of ion-pair strain between the triaminocyclopropenium (TAC) cation and its iodide counter-anion, the TAC iodides showed high catalytic efficiency in the halogen-bonding catalysis toward radical polymerization.![]()

Abstract
An iodide-terminated polymer (Polymer-I) is converted to a thiol-terminated polymer (Polymer-SH) using HSCH2CH2SH in a remarkably short time (10 min). Polymer-SH is further converted to a pyridyl disulfide-terminated polymer (Polymer-SS-Py). The hetero-coupling of Polymer-SH and Polymer-SS-Py is successfully achieved to quantitatively generate a polymer disulfide (Polymer-SS-Polymer). Exploiting this efficient hetero-coupling technique, Polymer-SH is attached (grafted) on a Py-SS-immobilized surface to generate a polymer brush via a disulfide (-SS-) linkage (writing process). The -SS- linkage is cleaved by the treatment with dithiothreitol (DTT) to detach the polymer from the surface (erasing process). Subsequently, another Polymer-SH is attached on the surface to generate another polymer brush (rewriting process). Thus, a writable, erasable, and rewritable polymer brush surface is achieved. Hydrophilic, hydrophobic, and super-hydrophobic polymers (Polymer-SH) are attached on the surface, tailoring the surface wettability in the writing-erasing-rewriting cycles. Polymer-SH is also attached on a chain-end Py-SS-functionalized polymer brush surface, generating a rewritable block copolymer brush surface. A patterned block copolymer brush surface is also obtained using photo-irradiation and a photo-mask in the erasing process. The metal-free synthetic procedure, accessibility to patterned brushes, and switchable surface properties via the writing-erasing-rewriting process are attractive features of the present approach.

Abstract
The molecular weight distribution of polymer, termed dispersity (Đ), is a fundamental parameter that determines polymer properties. Sodium azide (NaN3) functions as a catalyst in organocatalyzed living radical polymerization when the reaction medium is nonpolar. In contrast, NaN3 can act as a nucleophile when the reaction medium is polar. In this paper, we report an efficient approach to dispersity control by exploiting the dual functions of NaN3 under the varied solvent polarity. Simultaneous polymerization and chain-end substitution allowed us to tune the Đ values of various polymethacrylates and poly(butyl acrylate). Notably, the Đ value could be tuned to a wide range approximately from 1.2 to 2.0 for polymethacrylates and to 3.8 for poly(butyl acrylate). This approach afforded polymer brushes on surfaces with tailored Đ values. An interesting finding was that the polymer brushes exhibited a unique interaction with external molecules, depending on the Đ value.

Abstract
Poly(furfuryl methacrylate) (PFMA) brushes were cross-linked using bismaleimide cross-linkers via the Diels-Alder (DA) reaction at 70 °C, generating cross-linked PFMA brushes (PFMA brush gels). The cross-linked PFMA brushes were decross-linked at 110 °C via the retro-Diels-Alder (rDA) reaction, offering the temperature-responsive reversible PFMA brush gels. The wettability of the brush was tunable by cross-linking and decross-linking. The use of a disulfide containing bismaleimide as a cross-linker gave the S-S bond at the cross-linking point. The S-S bond was cleaved upon thermal or photo stimulus and regenerated through oxidative stimulus, offering another reversible decross-linking/cross-linking pathway of the PFMA brush gel. The use of photo stimulus together with photomasks further offered patterned brushes with the cross-linked and decross-linked domains. The combination of the DA/rDA reactions and the reversible S-S bond cleavage provided multistimuli-responsive brush gels for switching the surface properties in unique manners. The reversible cross-linking, multiresponsiveness, access to patterned structures, and metal-free synthetic procedure are attractive features in the present approach for creating smart functional surfaces.

Abstract
Alkylation of heteroarenes by using aldehydes is a direct approach to increase molecular complexity, which however often involves the use of stochiometric oxidant, strong acid, and high temperature. This study concerns an energy-efficient electrochemical alkylation of heteroarenes by using aldehydes under mild conditions without mediators. Interestingly, the graphite anode can trigger aldehyde cationic species, which act as the effective autocatalysts to react with a range of heteroarenes to produce the corresponding products with excellent regioselectivity and in high yields. Compared to the traditional electro-synthesis approaches, this electro-triggered reaction provides an electricity-saving and eco-friendly route to high-value chemicals.

Chemistry 2019; 25:13025-13029. [PMID: 31389637 DOI: 10.1002/chem.201903188] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/12/2019] [Revised: 08/07/2019] [Indexed: 11/10/2022]
Abstract
An effective method to synthesize azido-end polymethacrylates from tetrabutylammonium azide (BNN3 ) in a nonpolar solvent (toluene) was developed. Several low-mass alkyl halides were reacted with BNN3 in toluene as model reactions and the rate constants of these reactions were determined, to confirm fast BNN3 azidation for tertiary and secondary halides. The end-group transformation of halide-end polymethacrylates was effective and nearly quantitative. Notably, the combination of organocatalyzed living (or reversible deactivation) radical polymerization and BNN3 azidation enabled the metal-free synthesis of azido-end polymethacrylates, including single-azido-end and multi-azido-end functional homopolymers and block copolymers. The rapid and quantitative reaction without the requirement for a large excess of BNN3 , metal-free and polar-solvent-free nature, and broad polymer scope are attractive features of this azidation.
