Abstract
Many stimuli-responsive materials harness the reversible association of supramolecular binding motifs to enable advanced functionalities such as self-healing, switchable adhesion, or mechanical adaptation. Despite extensive research into the structure-property relationships of these materials, direct correlations between molecular-level changes in supramolecular binding and macroscopic material behaviors have mostly remained elusive. Here, we show that this challenge can be overcome with supramolecular binding motifs featuring integrated binding indicators. We demonstrate this using a novel motif that combines a hydrogen-bonding ureido-4-pyrimidinone (UPy) with two strategically placed pyrene fluorophores. Dimerization of this motif promotes pyrene excimer formation, facilitating the straightforward optical quantification of supramolecular assembly under various conditions. We exploit the new motif as a supramolecular cross-linker in poly(methyl acrylate)s to probe the extent of (dis)assembly as a function of cross-linker content, processing history, and applied stimuli. We demonstrate that the stimuli-induced dissociation of hydrogen-bonding linkages strongly depends on the initial cross-link density, which also dictates whether the force-induced dissociation in polymer films correlates with the applied stress or strain. Thus, beyond introducing a robust tool for the in situ study of dynamic (dis)assembly mechanisms in supramolecular systems, our findings provide new insights into the mechanoresponsive behavior of such materials.

Abstract
Activation of SBIZrMe2 or SBIZrMeCl and a sheet model for an active component of hydrolytic MAO, (MeAlO)16(Me3Al)6, (16,6) has been studied by DFT. Contact ion-pair formation occurs through the intermediacy of SBIZrMe(Cl) or SBIZrMe2 reacting with sheet 16,6 to furnish SBIZrMe-μ-X(MeAlO)16(Me3Al)6 (2, X=Me, Cl). Contact ion-pairs 2 would be in equilibrium with heterodinuclear catalyst precursors [SBIZrMe2AlMe2][(MeAlO)16(Me3Al)6X] (3 (X=Me, Cl) through reversible binding of Me3Al at higher Al : Zr ratios. Calculations show that formation of ion-pairs 3 from contact ion-pairs 2 is more favourable for the SBIZr compared with the parent Cp2Zr complexes. TD-DFT calculations were conducted on relevant SBIZr complexes to relate the results to earlier spectroscopic studies of catalyst activation using UV-Vis spectroscopy. Finally, propene insertion into ion-pairs 2, SBIZrMe-μ-MeB(C6F5)3 (6) and [SBIZrMe][B(C6F5)4] (7) was studied at M06-2X/TZVP level of theory. These studies suggest that contact ion-pairs 2 are significantly less reactive towards insertion than 6 or 7, in disagreement with experiment.

Abstract
The Hf-pyridyl amido complex ((pyridylamido)Hf(IV)) is a cationic catalyst activated by ion-pairing with auxiliary catalyst B(C6F5)4 to show high activity for α-olefin polymerization. Previously, it was experimentally observed that the consumption rate of 1-octene in the 1-octene/ethene copolymerization is 3-fold compared to the 1-octene homopolymerization in coordinative chain transfer polymerization using the catalyst HfCat+-B(C6F5)4- ion pair (IP) and the chain transfer agent (CTA) ZnEt2. In the present study, we have performed atomistic chemical simulations of the IP-catalyzed homopolymerization of 1-octene and copolymerization of 1-octene and ethene on the basis of the Red Moon (RM) methodology. Using the analysis by polymer propagation diagrams (PPDs), in the 1-octene homopolymerization and the 1-octene/ethene copolymerization with the 1-octene-inserted catalyst (oHfCat), it is theoretically shown that the propagation reactions intermittently pause due to the steric hindrance of two hexyl groups of the oHfCat and the 1-octene inserted adjacent to the Hf atom. On the other hand, in the polymerizations with the ethene-inserted catalyst (eHfCat), it is reasonably recognized that the propagation reactions occur smoothly at a constant rate, and the polymerization continuously proceeds due to the relatively smaller steric hindrance. In conclusion, it was shown, for the first time, that the RM method can be used to reveal the microscopic effects of monomers and substituents in the polymerization reaction processes. Therefore, our current work using PPDs demonstrates the promising potential of the RM methodology in studying catalytic olefin polymerizations and complex chemical reaction systems in general.

Abstract
We performed the atomistic simulation of 1-octene polymerization reaction catalyzed by the ionic pair (IP) consisting of the cationic active species of (pyridylamido)Hf(IV) catalyst, HfCatPn+, and different counteranions (CAs), B(C6F5)4- and MeB(C6F5)3-, at different monomer concentrations. Using a hybrid Monte Carlo/molecular dynamics method, that is, the Red Moon (RM) method, the reaction progress measured by the "RM cycle" was transformed into effective real time using the time transformation theory. Then, the degree of polymerization was found to be consistent with that in the chemical kinetics, a macroscopic theory, and experimental ones. Remarkably, the current simulation has revealed the different dynamical features in the polymerization behavior originating from the CA. Namely, the HfCatPn+-B(C6F5)4- IP mainly forms an outer-sphere IP (OSIP) throughout the polymerization. The HfCatPn+-MeB(C6F5)3- IP, on the other hand, forms an inner-sphere IP (ISIP) in the initial stage of polymerization, and the ratio of ISIP steeply drops after the first monomer insertion because the IP interaction is reduced by the steric hindrance between the inserted monomers and the CA. In conclusion, we have shown that the microscopic IP dynamics interwoven with the polymerization reaction can be computationally observed in the real-time domain by using the RM method. Therefore, our current work demonstrates the promising potential of the RM method in studying catalytic olefin polymerization and complex chemical reaction systems.

Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:polym14163239. [PMID: 36015497 PMCID: PMC9414859 DOI: 10.3390/polym14163239] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2022] [Revised: 08/04/2022] [Accepted: 08/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
The objectives of this work were to address the fundamental characteristics of ansa-zirconocene catalyzed E/diene copolymerization and E/diene/1-hexene and E/diene/propylene terpolymerizations, and the quantitative relationship between diene structure and polymer chain propagation rate constant in term of quantifiable catalytic active sites. One of the most important but unknown factors in olefins ansa-zirconocene complexes is the distribution of the catalyst between sites actively participating in polymer chain formation and dormant sites. A set of ethylene/dienes copolymerizations, and ethylene/dienes/1-hexene and ethylene/dienes/1-hexene terpolymerizations catalyzed with ansa-zirconocenes/borate/triisobutylaluminium (rac-Et(Ind)2ZrCl2/[Ph3C][B(C6F5)4]/triisobutylaluminium (TIBA) were performed in toluene at 50 °C To determine the active center [C*]/[Zr] ratio variation in the copolymerization of E with different dienes and their terpolymerization with 1-hexene and propylene, each polymer propagation chain ends were quenched with 2-thiophenecarbonyl, which selectively quenches the metal–polymer bonds through acyl chloride. The ethylene, propylene, 1-hexene, and diene composition-based propagation rate constants (kpE, kpP, kp1-H, and kpdiene), thermal (melting and crystalline) properties, composition (mol% of ethylene, propylene, 1-hexene, and diene), molecular weight, and polydispersity were also studied in this work. Systematic comparisons of the proportion of catalytically [Zr]/[C*] active sites and polymerization rate constant (kp) for ansa-zirconocenes catalyzed E/diene, E/diene/1-hexene, and E/diene/propylene polymerization have not been reported before. We evaluated the addition of 1-hexene and propylene as termonomers in the copolymerization with E/diene. To make a comparison for each diene under identical conditions, we started the polymerization by introducing an 80/20 mole ratio of E/P and 0.12 mol/L of 1-hexene in the system. The catalyst behavior against different dienes, 1-hexene, and propylene is very interesting, including changes in thermal properties, cyclization of 1-hexene, and decreased incorporation of isoprene and butadiene, changes in the diffusion barriers in the system, and its effect on kp.

Polymerization kinetics of bicyclic olefins and mechanism with symmetrical ansa-metallocene catalysts associated with active center count: relationship between their activities and structure and activation path. RSC Adv 2022; 12:15284-15295.

Abstract
Copolymerization of ethylene (E) with 5-vinyl-2-norbornene (VNB) catalyzed by ansa-metallocenes allows the precise control of essential polymeric properties such as comonomer incorporation, molecular weight (Mw), and polydispersity (Đ). Significant efforts have been devoted to synthesizing and developing novel catalysts, cocatalysts, and activators, although the fundamental elements of catalytic processes remain unclear. For example, it is questionable how polymeric catalysts are divided across dormant and active sites and how this distribution affects the order of monomers for the propagation rate, which widely vary in the literature. Furthermore, although the empirical correlation between the monomers and average Mw has been established in many systems, the fundamental processes of chain termination remain unknown. Furthermore, the involvement of ion-pairing in metallocene-catalyzed polymerization and the termination mechanisms are also contentious issues. In this study, we describe the use of a quenched-labeling technique based on acyl chloride to selectively quench the zirconium metal–polymeric bond, which can be used to study the kinetics, active site [Zr][C*] counting, copolymer microstructure, and molecular weight distribution (MWD) to determine the rate laws for chain initiation, chain propagation rate (Rp), propagation rate constant (kp) and chain termination. In addition, we also predict previously unknown chemical characteristics of E/bicyclic copolymerization processes, where either a cis-endocyclic double bond with steric properties or a vinyl exocyclic double bond affects the activity, i.e., [Zr]/[*C], (Rp) and (kp). All these properties require the implementation of a particular kinetic mechanism that assumes the low activity of the building copolymer chains incorporating a single ethylene/VNB unit, i.e., the Cp2Zr–C2H5 group, in the ethylene addition process in the Cp2Zr–C bond. Due to β-agostic stabilization, the Cp2Zr–C2H5 group exhibits a distinct feature. These effects were confirmed experimentally, such as the E/VNB co-polymer activity and VNB mol%, propagation rate decrease in the polymerization time (tp) of 120 s to 1800 s, crystalline properties, and significant increase in molecular weight. The active center [Zr]/[*C] fraction considerably increased in the initial (tp) 840 s, and subsequently tended to the steady stage of 33%, which is lower than previously reported E homo- and E/P copolymerization. The lower [C*]/[Zr] in both the early and stable stages, decrease in VNB mol%, and Rp with tp can be associated with the more significant fraction of Cp2Zr–CH2CH3-type dormant site by the β-agostic hydrogen interaction with the Cp2Zr metal. The tpversus RpE, RpVNB, kpE, kpVNB, and [Zr]/[C*] count could be fitted to a model that invokes deactivation of the growing polymer chains. In the case of the thermal behavior of the copolymers (melting temperature (Tm) and crystalline temperature (ΔHm)), Tm varied from 101 °C to 121 °C, while ΔHm varied from 9 to 16 (J g−1). Copolymerization of ethylene (E) with 5-vinyl-2-norbornene (VNB) catalyzed by ansa-metallocenes allows the precise control of essential polymeric properties such as comonomer incorporation, molecular weight (Mw), and polydispersity (Đ).![]()

Abstract
The reliable and efficient counting of active sites in catalytic olefin polymerization has been realized by using acyl chloride as the quench-labeling agent. However, the molar ratio of acyl chloride to the alkylaluminum cocatalyst must be larger than 1 in order to completely depress side reactions between the quencher and Al-polymeryl that is formed via chain transfer reaction. In this work, a tetrahydrofuran/thiophene-2-carbonyl chloride (THF/TPCC) mixture was used as the quenching agent when counting the active sites of propylene polymerization catalyzed by MgCl2/Di/TiCl4 (Di = internal electron donor)-type Ziegler–Natta catalyst activated with triethylaluminum (TEA). When the THF/TEA molar ratio was 1 and the TPCC/TEA molar ratio was smaller than 1, the [S]/[Ti] ratio of the polymer quenched with the THF/TPCC mixture was the same as that quenched with only TPCC at TPCC/TEA > 1, indicating quench-labeling of all active sites bearing a propagation chain. The replacement of a part of the TPCC with THF did not influence the precision of active site counting by the acyl chloride quench-labeling method, but it effectively reduced the amount of acyl chloride. This modification to the acyl chloride quench-labeling method significantly reduced the amount of precious acyl chloride quencher and brought the benefit of simplifying polymer purification procedures after the quenching step.

Abstract
Atomistic simulation of the 1-octene polymerization reaction by a (pyridylamido)Hf(IV) catalyst was conducted on the basis of Red Moon (RM) methodology, focusing on the effect of the counteranions (CAs), MeB(C6F5)3-, and B(C6F5)4-, on the catalyst activity and chain termination reaction. We show that RM simulation reasonably reproduces the faster reaction rate with B(C6F5)4- than with MeB(C6F5)3-. Notably, the initiation of the polymerization reaction with MeB(C6F5)3- is comparatively slow due to the difficulty of the first insertion. Then, we investigated the free energy map of the ion pair (IP) structures consisting of each CA and the cationic (pyridylamido)Hf(IV) catalyst with the growing polymer chain (HfCatPn+), which determines the polymerization reaction rates, and found that HfCatPn+-MeB(C6F5)3- can keep forming "inner-sphere" IPs even after the polymer chain becomes sufficiently bulky, while HfCatPn+-B(C6F5)4- forms mostly "outer-sphere" IPs. Finally, we further tried to elucidate the origin of the broader molecular weight distribution (MWD) of the polymer experimentally produced with B(C6F5)4- than that with MeB(C6F5)3-. Then, through the trajectory analysis of the RM simulations, it was revealed that the chain termination reaction would be more sensitive to the IP structures than the monomer insertion reaction because the former involves a more constrained structure than the latter, which is likely to be a possible origin of the MWDs dependent on the CAs.

Abstract
The kinetics of ethylene and propylene polymerization catalyzed by homogeneous metallocene were investigated using 2-thiophenecarbonyl chloride followed by quenched-flow methods. The studied metallocene catalysts are: rac-Me2Si(2-Me-4-Ph-Ind)2ZrCl2 (Mt-I), rac-Et(Ind)2ZrCl2 (Mt-II) activated with ([Me2NPh][B(C6F5)4] (Borate-I), [Ph3C][B(C6F5)4] (Borate-II), and were co-catalyzed with different molar ratios of alkylaluminum such as triethylaluminium (TEA) and triisobutylaluminium (TIBA). The change in molecular weight, molecular weight distribution, microstructure and thermal properties of the synthesized polymer are discussed in detail. Interestingly, both Mt-I and Mt-II showed high activity in polyethylene with productivities between 3.17 × 106 g/molMt·h to 5.06 × 106 g/molMt·h, activities were very close to each other with 100% TIBA, but Mt-II/borate-II became more active when TEA was more than 50% in cocatalyst. Similarly, Polypropylene showed the highest activity of 11.07 106 g /molMt·h with Mt-I/Borate-I/TIBA. The effects of alkylaluminum on PE molecular weight were much more complicated; MWD curve changed from mono-modal in Mt-I/borate-I/TIBA to bimodal type when TIBA was replaced by different amounts of TEA. In PE, the active center fractions [C*]/[Zr] of Mt-I/borate were higher than that of Mt-II/borate and average chain propagation rate constant (k p) value slightly decreased with the increase of TEA/TIBA ratio, but the Mt-II/borate systems showed higher k p 1007 k p (L/mol·s). In PP, the Mt-I/borate presented much higher [C*]/[Zr] and k p value than the Mt-II. This work also extend to investigate the mechanistic features of zirconocenes catalyzed olefin polymerizations that addressed the largely unknown issues in zirconocenes in the distribution of the catalyst, between species involved in polymer chain growth and dormant state. In both metallocene systems, chain transfer with alkylaluminum is the dominant way of chain termination. To understand the mechanism of cocatalyst effects on PE Mw and (MWD), the unsaturated chain ends formed via β-H transfer have been investigated by 1H NMR analysis.

RSC Adv 2021; 11:31817-31826.

Abstract
The kinetics and mechanism of ethylene and cyclic diene 5-ethylidene-2-norbornene (ENB) copolymerization catalyzed by rac-Et(Ind)2ZrCl2/[Ph3C][B(C6F5)4]/triisobutylaluminium (TIBA) were investigated using a quench-labeling procedure using 2-thiophenecarbonyl chloride (TPCC). The E/ENB copolymers were characterized by gel permeation chromatography (GPC), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and sulfur analysis. To reduce the errors of the ethylene–diene copolymerization for the kinetics study, we selected E/ENB with steric and electronic features that permit us to elucidate the metallocene catalyst behavior against dienes. A quantitative approach of catalyst speciation, stereodynamics, and micro-kinetics assisted the resolution of mechanistic problems, such as the elastomeric synthesis of ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber (EPDM), the catalyst resting state nature, and how much ion-pairing occurs during polymerization. We report here the precise observation of metal–polymer species, explanation of the dynamics of their initiation, propagation, and termination, and ethylene ENB copolymer development. An approach based on acyl chloride was used to selectively quenched transition metal–polymer bonds to evaluate the polymeric catalyst in terms of its reaction rate, Rp, propagation rate content, kp, and mole fraction of active centers. It is noted that the decline in catalytic activity in the range of 1800 s, and the active center [Zr]/[*C] fraction significantly increased during the initial 1000 s and then tended towards a steady figure of 86%. It is suggested that nearly complete initiation of all olefins catalysts can be obtained after a sufficiently extended reaction. The quick increase in active sites in the first stage can be described by the immediate initiation of active sites positioned on the surfaces of catalyst particles. The initial polymerization rate, Rp, is high and the crystalline properties of the E/ENB copolymer are low due to the greater incorporation of ENB in the polymer backbone, and later the polymerization reaction rates remained stable with a lower mol% of ENB. The melting temperature (Tm) ranges from 108 to 127 °C, whereas the crystalline temperature ranges from 63 to 108 (J g−1). In the E–ENB copolymers, the value of kpE is much greater than that of kpENB; at 120 s, the kpE and kpENB values are 9115 and 431 L mol−1 s−1, respectively, implying smaller diffusion barriers in the early stages, which are close to the actual propagation rate constant. The kinetics and mechanism of ethylene and 5-ethylidene-2-norbornene copolymerization catalyzed by rac-Et(Ind)2ZrCl2 were investigated using 2-thiophenecarbonyl chloride.![]()

Abstract
Chromophore quench-labeling applied to 1-octene polymerization as catalyzed by hafnium-pyridyl amido precursors enables quantification of the amount of active catalyst and observation of the molecular weight distribution (MWD) of Hf-bound polymers via UV-GPC analysis. Comparison of the UV-detected MWD with the MWD of the "bulk" (all polymers, from RI-GPC analysis) provides important mechanistic information. The time evolution of the dual-detection GPC data, concentration of active catalyst, and monomer consumption suggests optimal activation conditions for the Hf pre-catalyst in the presence of the activator [Ph3C][B(C6F5)4]. The chromophore quench-labeling agents do not react with the chain-transfer agent ZnEt2 under the reaction conditions. Thus, Hf-bound polymeryls are selectively labeled in the presence of zinc-polymeryls. Quench-labeling studies in the presence of ZnEt2 reveal that ZnEt2 does not influence the rate of propagation at the Hf center, and chain transfer of Hf-bound polymers to ZnEt2 is fast and quasi-irreversible. The quench-label techniques represent a means to study commercial polymerization catalysts that operate with high efficiency at low catalyst concentrations without the need for specialized equipment.
