2. The promise of N-heterocyclic carbenes to capture and valorize carbon dioxide

Abstract: With increasing environmental concerns due to the anthropologic emissions of greenhouse gasses, especially carbon dioxide (CO2), the development of new technologies to capture the latter is of great public value. While amino-containing materials excel in capturing CO2, they generally suffer from a few limitations, namely, the high energy penalty for desorption and the obstacle to directly convert CO2 into valuable resources. In this context, molecular or polymeric compounds based on N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) have emerged as versatile alternatives to efficiently sequester CO2. NHCs are among the most investigated reactive species in chemistry: not only have they been intensively used as ligands for transition metal catalysts but also they exhibit a rich chemistry, either as true reagents or as organic catalysts. However, their air- and moisture-sensitivity represents a limitation to their use in synthesis. As reviewed thereafter, NHCs can selectively react with CO2 forming stable adducts, in the form of zwitterionic betaine-type species, providing CO2 directly-on-site for further fixation. Advances in the use of NHCs in this field are illustrated in this paper with a special emphasis on integration of NHCs in materials enabling heterogeneous utilizations in capture and catalysis.

Abstract: 1,5,7-Triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-ene (TBD) polymerizes rac-lactide (rac-LA) to form highly isotactic polylactide (PLA) with a Pm = 0.88, while meso-LA yields heterotactic PLA (Pm ~ 0.8) at −75 °C. The stereocontrol of the cryogenic-based ring-opening polymerization comes from a perfect imbrication of both chiral LA and the propagating chiral end-group interacting with the achiral TBD catalyst.

Abstract: Polymeric ionic liquids (PILs) are an interesting class of polyelectrolytes, merging peculiar physical-chemical features of ionic liquids with the flexibility, mechanical stability and processability typical of polymers. The combination of PILs with colloidal semiconducting nanocrystals leads to novel nanocomposite materials with high potential for batteries and solar cells. We report the synthesis and properties of a hybrid nanocomposite made of colloidal luminescent CdSe nanocrystals incorporated in a novel ex situ synthesized imidazolium-based PIL, namely, either a poly(N-vinyl-3-butylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate) or a homologous PIL functionalized with a thiol end-group exhibiting a chemical affinity with the nanocrystal surface. A capping exchange procedure has been implemented for replacing the pristine organic capping molecules of the colloidal CdSe nanocrystals with inorganic chalcogenide ions, aiming to disperse the nano-objects in the PILs, by using a common polar solvent. The as-prepared nanocomposites have been studied by TEM investigation, UV-Vis, steady-state and time resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy for elucidating the effects of the PIL functionalization on the morphological and optical properties of the nanocomposites.

Abstract: International audience; Plastics are everywhere in our modern way of living, and their production keeps increasing every year, causing major environmental concerns. Nowadays, the end-of-life management involves accumulation in landfills, incineration, and recycling to a lower extent. This ecological threat to the environment is inspiring alternative bio-based solutions for plastic waste treatment and recycling toward a circular economy. Over the past decade, considerable efforts have been made to degrade commodity plastics using biocatalytic approaches. Here, we provide a comprehensive review on the recent advances in enzyme-based biocatalysis and in the design of related biocatalytic processes to recycle or upcycle commodity plastics, including polyesters, polyamides, polyurethanes, and polyolefins. We also discuss scope and limitations, challenges, and opportunities of this field of research. An important message from this review is that polymer-assimilating enzymes are very likely part of the solution to reaching a circular plastic economy.

Abstract: Stereochemical control during polymerization is a key strategy of polymer chemistry to achieve semicrystalline engineered plastics. The stereoselective ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of racemic lactide (irac/i-LA), which can lead to highly isotactic polylactide (PLA), is one of the emblematic examples in this area. Surprisingly, stereoselective ROP ofirac/i-LA employing chiral organocatalysts has been under-leveraged. Here we show that a commercially available chiral thiourea (TU1), or its urea homologue (U1), can be used in conjunction with an appropriately selectediN/i-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) to trigger the stereoselective ROP ofirac/i-LA at room temperature in toluene. Both a high organic catalysis activity (gt;90% monomer conversion in 5-9 h) and a high stereoselectivity (probability of formation of meso dyads,iP/isubm/sub, in the range 0.82-0.93) can be achieved by thus pairing a NHC and a chiral amino(thio)urea. The less sterically hindered and the more basic NHC, that is, a NHC bearingitert/i-butyl substituents (NHCsubtBu/sub), provides the highest stereoselectivity when employed in conjunction with the chiral TU1 or U1. This asymmetric organic catalysis strategy, as applied here in polymerization chemistry, further expands the field of possibilities to achieve bioplastics with adapted thermomechanical properties.

Abstract: Sequential block copolymerization involving comonomers belonging to different classes, e.g., a vinyl-type monomer and a heterocycle, is a challenging task in macromolecular chemistry, as corresponding propagating species do not interconvert easily from one to the other by crossover reactions. Here, it is first evidenced that 1-methoxy 2-methyl 1-trimethylsilyloxypropene (MTS), i.e., a silyl ketene acetal (SKA)-containing initiator, can be used in presence of the P

Abstract: International audience; Herein, we present a straightforward and versatile methodology to achieve functional polymeric nano-objects that contain helical cores. Nickel-catalysed coordination polymerisation-induced self-assembly (NiCCo-PISA) of helical poly(aryl isocyanide) amphiphilic diblock copolymers was conducted, affording micelles containing controllable quantities of activated ester groups (i.e. pentafluorophenyl esters) in the core that were subsequently modified using post-polymerisation modification (PPM) with amine nucleophiles. Three amines bearing different functionalities (alcohol, trifluoro and a maleimide dye) were successfully introduced into the nano-object cores as verified via NMR and FT-IR spectroscopy, while the retention of helicity within the resulting diblock copolymers was confirmed by circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy. Changes in nanostructure morphology following modification were monitored by dynamic light-scattering (DLS), confirming the disassembly of the nano-objects when the core hydrophilicity was increased through the introduction of polar functionalities. These readily-synthesised and modified nanostructures containing helical cores are valuable scaffolds for use in applications such as circularly polarised luminescence, enantioselective chemistry or chiral separation.

Abstract: International audience; Control of stereoregularity is inherent to precision polymerization chemistry for the development of functional materials. A prototypal example of this strategy is the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of racemic lactide (rac-LA), a bio-sourced monomer. Despite significant advances in organocatalysis, stereoselective ROP of rac-LA employing chiral organocatalysts remains unexplored. Here we tackle that challenge by resorting to Takemoto's catalyst, a chiral aminothiourea, in the presence of a phosphazene base. This chiral binary organocatalytic system allows for fast, chemo- and stereoselective ROP of rac-LA at room temperature, yielding highly isotactic, semi-crystalline and metal-free polylactide, with a melting temperature as high as 187 °C.

Abstract: International audience; We report the synthesis of redox- and pH-sensitive block copolymer micelles that contain chiral cores composed of helical poly(aryl isocyanide)s. Pentafluorophenyl (PFP) ester-containing micelles synthesised via nickel-catalysed coordination polymerisation-induced self-assembly (NiCCo-PISA) of helical poly(aryl isocyanide) amphiphilic diblock copolymers are modified post-polymerisation with various diamines to introduce cross-links and/or achieve stimulus-sensitive nanostructures. The successful introduction of the diamines is confirmed by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), while the stabilisation effect of the cross-linking is explored by dynamic light scattering (DLS). The retention of the helicity of the core-forming polymer block is verified by circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy and the stimuli-responsiveness of the nanoparticles towards a reducing agent (L-glutathione, GSH) and pH is evaluated by following the change in the size of the nanoparticles by DLS. These stimuli-responsive nanoparticles could find use in applications such as drug delivery, nanosensors or biological imaging.

Abstract: International audience; The need to take into account the life cycle of ionic liquids (ILs), from the sourcing of the raw materials involved in their synthesis to their disposal and degradation, has become paramount in the design of new IL-type molecular structures. In the case of 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium salts, one of the prominent IL families, there is an increasing demand for synthetic methods involving (i) the substitution of the petro-based alkyl derivatives by readily available bio-sourced surrogates, and (ii) the functionalization of the alkyl tail with hetero-functional groups enabling the (bio)degradation of the IL after use. Herein, a straightforward and industrially viable synthesis of lipidic imidazolium salts is reported, starting from different bio-sourced fatty alcohols, including oleic, stearyl and lauryl alcohols. The procedure is based on the acrylation of the fatty alcohol, followed by the aza-Michael addition of the imidazole group onto the acrylate moiety. Subsequent quaternization, using either methyl iodide or methyl tosylate, provides a library of 1-alkylpropionate-3-methylimidazolium salts with various alkyl chain length (C18, C12, C11) and incorporating different types of counter-anions (iodate, tosylate, tetrafluoroborate). These ester-containing analogs of classical 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium salts are all ILs, i.e., with a melting point below 100 °C. In addition, most of them exhibit a liquid crystal behavior and can be referred to as ionic liquid crystals (ILCs). The thermal stability, as well as the phase transitions of these ILs, have been investigated by thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry, respectively, while the molecular structure into the crystalline phase and the mesophase is studied by X-ray scattering. Interestingly, ILCs featuring unsaturated alkyl tails exhibit a low melting point, close to room temperature and the presence of the ester function is shown to provide an enhanced stabilization of the mesophase.

Abstract: Despite the ubiquity of singlet carbenes in chemistry, their utility as true monomeric building blocks for the synthesis of functional organic polymers has been underexplored. In this work, we exploit the capability of purposely designed mono- and bis-acyclic amino(aryl)carbenes to selectively dimerize as a general strategy to access diaminoalkenes and hitherto unknown amino-containing poly(p-phenylene vinylene)s (N-PPV’s). The unique selectivity of the dimerization of singlet amino(aryl)carbenes, relative to putative C-H insertion pathways, is rationalized by DFT calculations. Of particular interest, unlike classical PPV’s, the presence of amino groups in α-position of C=C double bonds in N-PPV’s allows their physico-chemical properties to be manipulated in different ways by a simple protonation reaction. Hence, depending on the nature of the amino group (iPr2N vs. piperidine), either a complete loss of conjugation or a blue-shift of the maximum of absorption is observed, as a result of the protonation at different sites (nitrogen vs. carbon). Overall, this study highlights that singlet bis-amino(aryl)carbenes hold great promise to access functional polymeric materials with switchable properties, through a proper selection of their substitution pattern., Despite the ubiquity of singlet carbenes in chemistry, their utility as true monomeric building blocks for the synthesis of functional organic polymers has been underexplored.

Abstract: A specifically devised amphiphilic star-like polymer-supported Pd(II)–NHC2 unit (NHC = N-heterocyclic carbene) enables highly efficient micellar catalysis in pure water. An amphiphilic block copolymer carrying benzimidazolium moieties randomly distributed along the hydrophobic block is precisely synthesized by reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. Addition of Pd(OAc)2 followed by nanoprecipitation in water drives the metal–ligand coordination core-crosslinking reaction and the segregation of Pd–NHC2 units in the hydrophobic core to form robust polymeric micelles. This approach confers multiple advantages to both the Suzuki–Miyaura and Heck cross-coupling reactions, including robustness, almost no metal leaching, low catalyst loadings (0.1 mol% rel. to the substrate), easy recycling, very broad substrate scope and exceptionally high catalytic activity in water.

Abstract: The interest in helix-containing nanostructures is currently growing as a consequence of their potential applications in areas such as nanomedicine, nanomaterial design, chiral recognition, and asymmetric catalysis. Herein, we present a facile and tunable one-pot methodology to achieve chiral nano-objects. The nickel-catalyzed coordination polymerization-induced self-assembly (NiCCo-PISA) of helical poly(aryl isocyanide) amphiphilic diblock copolymers was realized and allowed access to various nano-object morphologies (spheres, worm-like micelles, and polymersomes). The helicity of the core block was confirmed via circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy for all morphologies, proving their chiral nature. Small-molecule uptake by the spherical nanoparticles was investigated by encapsulating Nile Red into the core of the spheres and subsequent transfer into aqueous media. The presence of a CD signal for the otherwise CD-inactive dye proved the chiral induction effect of the nano-objects' helical core. This demonstrates the potential of NiCCo-PISA to prepare nanoparticles for applications in nanomaterials, catalysis, and recognition.

Abstract: International audience; Ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of propylene oxide (PO) is achieved at 25 °C either in bulk or in solution, using N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) and triisobutylaluminum (i-Bu3Al) as a bicomponent catalytic system. Transfer to monomer was not observed and poly(propylene oxide)s with predictable molar masses up to 60 000 g·mol−1 and low dispersities were obtained. In presence/absence of an alcohol as the initiator, the polymerization of PO follows anionic or zwitterionic ROP mechanisms, respectively. The addition of the Lewis acid strongly improves the efficiency of NHCs for the polymerization of substituted epoxides. It is established that i-Bu3Al is involved both in the formation of an initiating/propagating complex of moderate basicity/nucleophilicity and in the coordination of PO, enabling the activation of the monomer towards the complexed nucleophilic active species. Block copolyethers are also prepared by PPO chain extension experiments. All (co)polyethers were thoroughly characterized by 1H NMR spectroscopy, SEC and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry as means to prove the control and benefit of this NHC approach for epoxides ROP.

Abstract: Despite significant advances in organocatalysis, stereoselective polymerization reactions utilizing chiral organocatalysts have received very little attention, and much about the underlying mechanisms remains unknown. Here, we report that both commercially available (R,R)- and (S,S)-enantiomers of chiral thiourea-amine Takemoto’s organocatalysts promote efficient control and high isoselectivity at room temperature of the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of racemic lactide by kinetic resolution, yielding highly isotactic, semicrystalline and metal-free polylactide (PLA). Kinetic investigations and combined analyses of the resulting PLAs have allowed the stereocontrol mechanism, which eventually involves both enantiomorphic site control and chain-end control, to be determined. Moreover, epimerization of rac-LA to meso-LA is identified as being responsible for the introduction of some stereoerrors during the ROP process.

Abstract: International audience; Partially biobased poly(1,2,3-triazolium)s are synthesized by reversible additionfragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization of tailor-made 1,2,3-triazole-functionalized (meth)acrylate monomers derived from levulinic acid, followed by N-alkylation of the 1,2,3-triazole moieties by methyl iodide (CH3I) and subsequent anion exchange with lithium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI). Chain extension of a 1,2,3-triazole-functionalized polymethacrylate by RAFT polymerization of styrene followed by N-alkylation with CH3I and anion exchange with LiTFSI affords two poly(1,2,3-triazole)- and two poly(1,2,3-triazolium)-based diblock copolymers (BCPs) with different weight fractions of each block. Discussion of the structure/properties relationships of all obtained materials is based on NMR spectroscopy, size exclusion chromatography, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, and broadband dielectric spectroscopy. The morphological and self-assembling properties of neutral and charged BCPs in bulk and in thin films are investigated by small-angle X-ray scattering and atomic force microscopy experiments, respectively.

Abstract: Living anionic polymerization gives access to well-defined polymers, but it demands strict purification of reagents and solvents. This work presents the azaanionic polymerization (AAROP) of aziridines as a robust living polymerization technique, with the ease of controlled radical polymerizations. AAROP does not require inert atmosphere and remains living in the presence of large amounts of water or alcohols. Mesyl-, tosyl-, or brosyl-activated aziridines were polymerized with up to 100-fold excess of a protic impurity with respect to the initiator and still being active for chain extension. This allowed the preparation of polyols by anionic polymerization without protective groups, as only minor initiation occurred from the alcohols. The tolerance toward protic additives lies in the electron-withdrawing effect of the activating groups, decreasing the basicity of the propagating species, while maintaining a strong nucleophilic character. In this way, competing alcohols and water are only slightly involved...

Abstract: The development of sustainable synthetic approaches to biodegradable and biocompatible polymeric materials represents a key challenge in polymer chemistry. A novel solvent-free and organocatalyzed ring-opening (co)polymerization (ORO(c)P) method utilizing benzoic acid(BA) as simple thermostable carboxylic acid-type catalyst is proposed to not only produce structurally well-defined aliphatic homopolyesters derived from L-lactide (L-LA) and e-caprolactone (CL), but also and, unexpectedly, statistical copolyesters based on the two monomer units. RO(c)P reactions were conducted in bulk in a temperature range of 155–180 °C, in presence of alcohols as initiators. A triblock copolymer, namely, PLLA-b-PCL-b-PLLA, was also synthesized, attesting to the “controlled/living” character of this BA-OROP process. A bifunctional mechanism is proposed to operate, involving activation of both the monomer and the propagating hydroxyl by H-bonding. Very importantly, the BA organocatalyst could be readily recycled by simple sublimation and could be reused in further organocatalytic cycles.

Abstract: This paper presents the work carried out within the European project RENAISSANCE-ITN, which was dedicated to the development of innovative polyelectrolytes for energy and environmental applications. Within the project different types of innovative polyelectrolytes were synthesized such as poly(ionic liquid)s coming from renewable or natural ions, thiazolium cations, catechol functionalities or from a new generation of cheap deep eutectic monomers. Further, macromolecular architectures such as new poly(ionic liquid) block copolymers and new (semi)conducting polymer/polyelectrolyte complexes were also developed. As the final goal, the application of these innovative polymers in energy and the environment was investigated. Important advances in energy storage technologies included the development of new carbonaceous materials, new lignin/conducting polymer biopolymer electrodes, new iongels and single-ion conducting polymer electrolytes for supercapacitors and batteries and new poly(ionic liquid) binders for batteries. On the other hand, the use of innovative polyelectrolytes in sustainable environmental technologies led to the development of new liquid and dry water, new materials for water cleaning technologies such as flocculants, oil absorbers, new recyclable organocatalyst platforms and new multifunctional polymer coatings with antifouling and antimicrobial properties. All in all this paper demonstrates the potential of poly(ionic liquid)s for high-value applications in energy and enviromental areas. © 2017 Society of Chemical Industry

Abstract: A novel synthetic strategy to isocyanate-free supramolecular polyhydroxyurethanes based on ionic interactions is described. Water-dispersible non-isocyanate polyhydroxyurethanes (WPHUs) dispersions were first prepared from aminoalkyl-terminated poly(dimethylsiloxane), diglycerol dicarbonate and a 8-membered cyclic carbonate (bis-N-8-C) via phase inversion polymerization. Taking advantage of the tertiary amino-groups present in bis-N-8-C, which acted as an internal emulsifier in presence of acetic acid, WPHUs dispersions could thus be achieved. After optimizing the internal surfactant concentration, namely at 30 mol% of bis-N-8-C, stable waterborne PHU dispersions with particle size around 200 nm were obtained. Supramolecular PHU assemblies based on ionic interactions were generated by mixing carboxylic acids of different functionalities, including adipic acid or citric acid, with the optimal dispersion, in absence of any organic solvents. This simple post-chemical modification step enabled to improve the film properties. Formation of the supramolecular network was evidenced by FTIR and 1H NMR spectroscopies. Use of citric acid was found to greatly improve the mechanical properties of the resulting films, as characterized by a transition solid/liquid, which varied from 60 °C. Supramolecular interactions impart healing abilities to the films, as determined by optical microscopy. Altogether, this study demonstrates for the first time the potential of combining water-dispersible non-isocyanate polyhydroxyurethanes with simple carboxylic acid-containing reagents, providing a straightforward and sustainable approach to novel reprocessable PHU-type materials.

Abstract: Organocatalysis has emerged as an invaluable tool for polymer synthesis and has already demonstrated versatility for replacing organometallic catalysts in many polymerization reactions. The overall ease of removal and lower toxicity of organocatalysts relative to their common metal counterparts has also nurtured development especially in chain growth polymerizations to achieve precision macromolecular architectures for application in the biomedical space. The application of organocatalysts in step-growth polymerizations of polymers, including polyesters, polycarbonates, and polyurethanes, has garnered fewer studies in spite of the large array of benefits that could be achieved. Step-growth polymers account for nearly 20 wt. % of the Word Plastic Production and play a vital role in many technologies as engineering plastics and high performance polymeric materials with outstanding thermomechanical performance. Step-growth polymerizations are achieved using monomers with a diversity of chemical functionality. Consequently, a vast array of polymeric structures are attainable and will impact diverse applications in energy, aerospace, medicine, transportation, and construction. This review article will highlight the recent advances in organocatalysis in step growth polymerizations. We will primarily focus our review on the synthesis of commercially important polyesters and polyurethanes using organocatalysis, however, the review will also emphasize recent literature describing less explored polymers, such as polyethers, polycarbonates, and polybenzoins, which have recently employed organocatalysts. Moreover, the article will draw attention to recent efforts in the use of carbon dioxide as a monomer for the preparation of step-growth polymers in the presence of organocatalysis.

Abstract: A self-catalysed folding strategy to form single chain nanoparticles (SCNPs) was developed via an intramolecular N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-mediated benzoin condensation. Benzaldehyde, styrene and benzimidazolium chloride units were randomly incorporated into a poly(ionic liquid)-based (PIL) copolymer precursor by reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) copolymerisation. Post-chemical modification of this linear precursor by insertion of a non-innocent acetate counter-anion into the benzimidazolium moieties conferred thermolatent catalytic behaviour owing to the equilibrium between benzimidazolium acetate units and corresponding NHC ones. Upon heating, catalytically active NHCs allowed the formation of benzoin-type intramolecular cross-links, thus folding linear chains into SCNPs. NHC moieties became deactivated after cooling to room temperature, which enabled easy isolation and purification of the covalently and intramolecularly cross-linked SCNPs. Importantly, the latent NHC moieties were proven to retain their catalytic activity when arranged into SCNPs as evidenced through their reactivation by simple heating. The catalytic activity of these SCNPs was further confirmed by implementing another NHC-organocatalysed reaction, namely, transesterification reaction between vinyl acetate and benzyl alcohol. This work represents the first example of catalysis by a parent linear precursor which drives its own folding and remains catalytically active.

Abstract: The need for efficient, tailor-made catalysts has inspired chemists to design synthetic macromolecular architectures for selective catalysis. To this purpose, herein the synthesis and in-depth characterization of Ag(I)-crosslinked single-chain nanoparticles (SCNPs) is reported and their application as catalysts is demonstrated. Specifically, a copolymer of styrenic benzimidazolium chloride is synthesized as a linear precursor via reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer polymerization. Metalation of the benzimidazolium moieties by Ag(I) resulted in the intramolecular cross-linking of single chains via the formation of silver-N-heterocyclic carbene (Ag-NHC) linkages under dilute conditions. The successful formation of well-defined, robust SCNPs is evidenced by size-exclusion chromatography, dynamic light scattering, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. Finally, it is demonstrated that the Ag-SCNPs can be used as NHC pre-catalysts, by first indirectly evidencing the formation of the corresponding unfolded NHC-CS2 polybetaine and then organocatalysing a benzoin condensation reaction.

Abstract: International audience; The development of synthetic strategies to produce statistical copolymers based on l-lactide (l-LA) and ε-caprolactone (CL), denoted as P(LA- stat-CL), remains highly challenging in polymer chemistry. This is due to the differing reactivity of the two monomers during their ring-opening copolymerization (ROcP). Yet, P(LA- stat-CL) materials are highly sought after as they combine the properties of both polylactide (PLA) and poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL). Here, benzoic acid (BA), a naturally occurring, cheap, readily recyclable, and thermally stable weak acid, is shown to trigger the organocatalyzed ring-opening copolymerization (OROcP) of l-LA and CL under solvent-free conditions at 155 °C, in presence of various alcohols as initiators, with good control over molar masses and dispersities (1.11 < Đ < 1.35) of the resulting copolyesters. Various compositions can be achieved, and the formation of statistical compounds is shown through characterization by H, C, and diffusion ordered spectroscopy NMR spectroscopies and by differential scanning calorimetry, as well as through the determination of reactivity ratios ( r = 0.86, r = 0.86), using the visualization of the sum of squared residuals space method. Furthermore, this BA-OROcP process can be exploited to access metal-free PLA- b-P(LA- stat-CL)- b-PLA triblock copolymers, using a diol as an initiator. Finally, residual traces of BA remaining in P(LA- stat-CL) copolymers (

Abstract: Widely available vegetable oils were readily derivatized into chemically pure ABn-type monomers (n = 2 or 3). Their polymerization led to unprecedented hyperbranched polyesters. Four different AB2/AB3-type monomers bearing one A-type methyl ester and two or three B-type alcohol functions were purposely synthesized via two elementary steps, i.e. epoxidation of the internal double bond of the vegetable oil precursors followed by ring-opening of the epoxy groups under acidic conditions. The polycondensation of these bio-sourced monomers was performed in bulk, in the presence of an appropriate catalyst, giving access to modular hyperbranched polyesters with tunable properties. Among the catalysts tested, zinc acetate, 1,5,7-triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-ene (TBD) and sodium methoxide proved the most effective, allowing the achievement of molar masses in the range 3000--10 000 g mol--1 and dispersities varying from 2 to 15, depending on the initial conditions. The degree of branching, DB, as determined by 1H NMR spectroscopy, was found to be between 0.07 and 0.45. The as-devised hyperbranched polyesters displayed either amorphous or semi-crystalline properties, as a function of the selected AB2/AB3-type initial monomers, with a glass transition temperature, Tg, ranging from --33 to 9 {\textdegree}C and a decomposition temperature at 5 wt% of the sample, Td5%, varying from 204 to 340 {\textdegree}C., Comment: http://lcpo.fr/index.php/research-teams/2-biopolymers-and-bio-sourced-polymers, http://lcpo.fr/index.php/research-teams/1-polymerization-catalyses-and-engineering

Abstract: International audience; Nanogels of controlled kinetic chain length were synthesized by cobalt-mediated radical cross-linking copolymerization (CMRccP) involving a vinyl monomer and a divinyl cross-linker. This strategy was first validated to achieve neutral poly(vinyl acetate) nanogels by CMRccP of vinyl acetate and divinyl adipate as a cross-linker at 40 degrees C in the presence of an alkyl-cobalt(III) serving both as an initiator and a controlling agent using ethyl acetate as a solvent. Poly(ionic liquid) nanogels were then directly obtained by CMRccP of N-vinyl-3-ethyl imidazolium bromide in the presence of 1,13-divinyl-3-decyl diimidazolium bromide as a cross-linker. CMRccP experiments could be conducted either in an organic solvent using dimethyl formamide or, more interestingly, in aqueous solution, demonstrating the robustness and versatility of this one-step process. Chain extensions of PIL nanogels were also carried out in water, forming core-shell structures, thus opening new avenues in the design of functional nanogels.

Abstract: Given the importance of polyether-based materials and related copolymers in industrial applications, the present chapter focuses on recent synthetic efforts on such polymers by ring-opening (co)polymerization of epoxide-containing monomers with the aid of an organocatalyst. The chapter is organized by discussing in priority the main families of organocatalysts employed for metal-free (co)polyether and polyepoxide synthesis. Representative organocatalysts are discussed for each family, both through seminal works and more recent developments. The main monomer substrates and structure of the as-prepared copolyethers are presented, and underlying polymerization mechanisms are highlighted.

Abstract: International audience; The intrinsic advantages of poly(ionic liquid)s (PILs), based on their high chemical activity and flexible structure, have been harnessed by exploring their applicability as catalytic single chain nanoparticles (SCNPs). A non-covalent bioinspired approach has been established to ionically crosslink an imidazolium-based poly(ionic liquid) to form folded SCNPs. An amphiphilic styrenic-type coPIL was synthesized by reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) to include hydrophilic stabilizer units, hydrophobic spacers and two antagonist functionalities randomly distributed through the polymer backbone. The antagonist functionalities were then intramolecularly and ionically crosslinked using a simple anion metathesis reaction, which resulted in folding to form the SCNPs under mild conditions. The folding process enabled the protection of the N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) functionality, through the benzoate–imidazolium interaction between antagonist monomer units. Upon the application of heat, free NHCs could be generated within the confined SCNPs, which could be further utilized in benzoin catalysis. Most importantly, the reversible nature of the crosslinking and reversible generation of the active functionality allowed for the utilization of the SCNPs as a recyclable catalytic support.

Abstract: International audience; The synthesis of conjugated copolymers based on poly(fluorene vinylene) [PFV] and poly(fluorene vinylene-co-carbazole vinylene) [PFVCV] was achieved via a previously unexplored precursor three-step synthetic route involving the Ramberg-Bäcklund reaction. The resulting -conjugated (co)polymers proved highly soluble in common organic solvents, such as DCM, THF, or CHCl3. The solution step-growth polymerization between 2,7-bis(bromomethyl)-9,9'-dihexyl-9H-fluorene [F-Br] and 2,7-bis(mercaptomethyl)-9,9'-dihexyl-9H-fluorene [F-SH] was carried out under basic conditions at 100 °C in a mixture of MeOH and THF. The resulting polysulfides were then subjected to an oxidation reaction using m-CPBA, which was followed by the Ramberg-Bäcklund reaction in the presence of CF2Br2/Al2O3-KOH, thus achieving the desired PFV. Similarly, PFVCV could be synthesized through the same three-step sequence employing, in this case, 2,7-bis(mercaptomethyl)-9-(tridecan-7-yl)-9H-carbazole (C-SH) and F-Br. Conjugated polymers with apparent molecular weights up to 15 kg.mol-1 and exhibiting promising optical features were obtained following this convenient synthetic strategy.

Abstract: A complete study of the effect of different organocatalysts on the step-growth polyaddition of a five-membered dicyclic carbonate, namely diglycerol dicarbonate, with a poly(ethylene glycol)-based diamine in bulk at 120 °C was first carried out. The reaction was found to be dramatically catalyst-dependent, higher rates being observed in the presence of strong bases, such as phosphazenes (t-Bu-P4 or P4) and 5,7-triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-ene (TBD). Unexpectedly, the as-formed urethane linkages entirely vanished with time, as evidenced by FTIR and 13C NMR spectroscopies, while signals due to urea bond formation progressively appeared. An advantage of the chemical transformation occurring from urethane to urea linkages was further taken by optimizing the polymerization conditions to access a range of poly(hydroxyurea−urethane)s (PHUUs) with precise urethane to urea ratio in a one-pot process. Characterization of the corresponding polymers by rheological measurements showed that the storage modulus reached a plateau at high temperatures and at high urea contents. The application temperature range of poly(hydroxyurea−urethane)s could thus be increased from 30 to 140 °C, as for regular polyurethanes. Furthermore, SAXS and phase-contrast microscopy images demonstrated that increasing the urea content improved the phase separation between soft and hard segments of these PHUUs. Altogether, this novel, straightforward, efficient, and environmentally friendly strategy enables the access to non-isocyanate poly(urea−urethane)s with tunable urethane-to-urea ratio from five-membered dicyclic carbonates following an organocatalytic pathway The authors thank the European Commission for its financial support through the projects SUSPOL-EJD 642671, Renaissance-ITN 289347, and OrgBIO-ITN 607896.

Abstract: Commercial aminoalcohols, namely, 2-(methyl amino)ethanol (1) and diethanolamine (2), are investigated as direct initiators, i.e., with no need of protection of the hydroxyl groups, for the N-heterocyclic carbene-organocatalyzed ring-opening polymerization (NHC-OROP) of 2-methyl-N-p-toluenesulfonyl aziridine. NHC-OROP’s are performed at 50 °C in tetrahydrofuran, in the presence of 1,3-bis(isopropyl)-4,5(dimethyl)imidazol-2-ylidene (Me5-IPr) as organocatalyst. Thus, nonprotected and nonactivated aminoalcohol initiators 1 and 2 provide a direct access to metal-free α-hydroxy-ω-amino- and α,α′-bis-hydroxy-ω-amino telechelics on the basis of polyaziridine (PAz), respectively. Excellent control over molar masses, narrow dispersities (Đ ≤ 1.20), and high chain-end fidelity are evidenced by combined analyses, including NMR spectroscopy, size exclusion chromatography, and MALDI ToF mass spectrometry. The amino-initiated NHC-OROP is therefore tolerant to the presence of nonprotected hydroxyl group(s). The as-obtai...

Abstract: International audience; Owing to their broad modularity, polymeric versions of ionic liquids, referred to as poly(ionic liquids) (PILs), have attracted increasing attention as recyclable polymer-supported (pre)catalysts for various chemical transformations. Herein, an imidazolium-based statistical copolymer based on PIL (=coPIL) is specifically designed by free-radical copolymerization of styrene and 4-vinylbenzylethyl(benz)imidazolium chloride. A selective ion-exchange reaction can be subsequently achieved to incorporate bio-sourced difunctional sebacate-type counter-anions, causing the physical crosslinking of the coPIL precursor via electrostatic interactions between pendant imidazolium moieties and sebacate dianions. The as-obtained gel-type precursor exhibits a thermally latent behavior in THF, proving advantageous for a facile manipulation and practical use for organocatalysis. Upon heating, typically at 80 °C, interaction between the sebacate dianion and the proton in C2-position of the imidazolium moieties generates polymer-supported N-heterocyclic carbene units that act as catalytic active species towards NHC-organocatalyzed reactions, namely, benzoin condensation, transesterification and cyanosilylation. The PIL-based gel precursors can be restored, recycled and reused by simply cooling down, i.e. with no need of an external chemical reagent, due to the shift of the intramolecular equilibrium towards the formation of imidazolium sebacate-type units. Overall, this novel gel-type copolymeric platform shows a thermo-responsive behaviour, and proves particularly versatile for heterogeneous organocatalysis.

Abstract: A well-defined linear statistical copolymer precursor, made of styrene, grafted poly(ethylene oxide) and benzimidazolium chloride units serving as N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand precursors, is designed by random RAFT copolymerization. Intramolecular coordination forming Pd(II)–NHC2 crosslinks yields single chain nanoparticles (SCNPs). The formation of SCNPs is achieved by the insertion of Pd(OAc)2 into diluted solution, which is monitored by combined analyses, including NMR, SEC, DLS and TEM. When used for the Suzuki coupling in water, the catalytic activity of these Pd(II)–NHC2-containing SCNPs is greatly improved relative to Pd(OAc)2 as a benchmark molecular catalyst. When compared to a molecular catalyst of Pd–NHC2-type, i.e. with a structure similar to that of the SCNP-supported catalytic units, the conversion to a reaction product is again higher, owing to a beneficial SCNP effect, although an increase in catalytic efficiency is not spectacular.

Abstract: International audience; The organometallic-mediated radical polymerization (OMRP) of N-vinyl-3-alkylimidazolium-type monomers, featuring the bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide counter-anion (Tf2N-) in the presence of Co(acac)(2) as controlling agent, is reported. Polymerizations of monomers with methyl, ethyl, and butyl substituents are fast, reaching high monomer conversion in ethyl acetate as solvent at 30 degrees C, and afford structurally well-defined hydrophobic poly(ionic liquid)s (PILs) of N-vinyl type. Block copolymer synthesis is also achieved by sequential OMRP of N-vinyl-3-alkyldazolium salts carrying different alkyl chains and different counteranions (Tf2N- or Br-). These block copolymerizations are carried out at 30 degrees C, either under homogeneous solution in methanol or in a biphasic medium consisting of a mixture of ethyl acetate and water. Unprecedented PIL-b-PIL block copolymers are thus prepared under these conditions. However, anion exchange occurs at the early stage of the growth of the second block. Finally, diblock copolymers generated in the biphasic medium can be readily coupled by addition of isoprene, forming all PIL-based and symmetrical ABA-type triblock copolymers in a one-pot process. Such a direct block copolymerization method, involving vinylimidazolium monomers bearing different alkyl chains, thus opens new opportunities in the precision synthesis of all PIL-based block copolymers of tunable properties.

Abstract: Polyaziridines (PAz) were synthesized for the first time by the 1,3-bis(isopropyl)-4,5(dimethyl)imidazol-2-ylidene-organocatalyzed ring-opening polymerization (OROP) of 2-alkyl- N - p -toluenesulfonyl aziridine (alkyl = methyl or phenyl), in the presence of both functional activated amine and non-functional non-activated amine initiators. Thus, not only an allyl-functionalized N -sulfonyl amine could serve as initiator, but also trimethylsilyl azide allowed introducing an allyl and an azido functionality in α-position of PAz chains, respectively. A non-activated and commercially available secondary amine, such as di- n -butylamine, also effectively initiated the OROP of N -tosylaziridines. Excellent control over molar masses, high chain-end fidelity and narrow dispersities ( Ð ≤ 1.20) were achieved, as attested by NMR spectroscopy, size exclusion chromatography and MALDI ToF mass spectrometry. PAz precursors consisting of the alkene or the azido functionality could further be derivatized, highlighting the accessibility of those functional groups. Overall, this N -heterocyclic carbene-OROP methodology offers a metal-free route to well-defined α-functionalized PAz.

Abstract: Poly(ionic liquid)s (PILs) have attracted considerable attention as innovative single-ion solid polyelectrolytes (SPEs) in substitution to the more conventional electrolytes for a variety of electrochemical devices. Herein, we report the precise synthesis, characterization, and use as single-ion SPEs of a novel double PIL-based amphiphilic diblock copolymer (BCP), i.e., where all monomer units are of N-vinyl-imidazolium type, with triethylene glycol pendant groups in the first block and a statistical distribution of N-vinyl-3-ethyl- and N-vinyl-3-perfluorooctyl-imidazolium bromides in the second block. BCP synthesis is achieved directly in water by a one-pot process, by cobalt-mediated radical polymerization-induced self-assembly (CMR-PISA). A subsequent anion exchange reaction substituting bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (Tf2N–) for bromide (Br–) counter-anions leads to PIL BCPs with two different lengths of the first block.

Abstract: Polyurethanes (PUs) are considered ideal candidates for drug delivery applications due to their easy synthesis, excellent mechanical properties, and biodegradability. Unfortunately, methods for preparing well-defined PU nanoparticles required miniemulsion polymerization techniques with a nontrivial control of the polymerization conditions due to the inherent incompatibility of isocyanate-containing monomers and water. In this work, we report the preparation of soft PU nanoparticles in a one-pot process using interfacial polymerization that employs a non-isocyanate polymerization route that minimizes side reactions with water. Activated pentafluorophenyl dicarbonates were polymerized with diamines and/or triamines by interfacial polymerization in the presence of an anionic emulsifier, which afforded non-isocyanate polyurethane (NIPU) nanoparticles with sizes in the range of 200–300 nm. Notably, 5 wt % of emulsifier was required in combination with a trifunctional amine to achieve stable PU dispersions and avoid particle aggregation. The versatility of this polymerization process allows for incorporation of functional groups into the PU nanoparticles, such as carboxylic acids, which can encapsulate the chemotherapeutic doxorubicin through ionic interactions. Altogether, this waterborne synthetic method for functionalized NIPU soft nanoparticles holds great promise for the preparation of drug delivery nanocarriers.

Abstract: A novel synthetic strategy to single chain nanoparticles (SCNP) based on a previously unexplored intramolecular reaction as a means to autonomously fold a parent copolymer precursor is reported. The latter is a statistical styrenic-type copolymer synthesized by RAFT polymerization and is composed of four different comonomer units, including styrene, grafted poly(ethylene oxide) chains, and antagonist benzimidazol- and chlorobenzyl-based units. The two latter functions are reacted together by a quaternization reaction to spark the folding process, creating imidazolium-based cross-link points. Formation of SCNP with a hydrodynamic diameter

Abstract: International audience; Fully organic Lewis pairs, combining a phosphine such as tri-n-butylphosphine (PnBu3), tritert-butylphosphine (PtBu3) or tris(2,4,6-trimethoxyphenyl) phosphine (TTMPP) as a Lewis base, and N-(trimethylsilyl)bis(trifluoromethane sulfonyl)imide (Me3SiNTf2) as a Lewis acid, are shown to directly initiate the polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) at room temperature in toluene. A dual reaction mechanism involving an optimal TTMPP:Me3SiNTf2 ratio of 1:2 accounts for the control of the polymerization. Molar masses of poly(methyl methacrylate)’s (PMMA’s) can be varied by the initial [MMA]0/[TTMPP]0 molar ratio. Chain extension experiments confirm that a majority of chains of a TTMPP/Me3SiNTf2-derived PMMA can be reactivated. Both density functional theory (DFT) calculations and stoichiometric studies reveal that TTMPP and Me3SiNTf2 form a P-silyl phosphonium intermediate that is in equilibrium with the corresponding frustrated Lewis pair (FLP). This FLP could correspond to the active form of the initiation step. Both computational and experimental data support the existence of a cooperative mechanism during the TTMPP/Me3SiNTf2 Lewis pair-mediated polymerization of MMA.
