To control over mol. weight and its distribution in bulk controlled radical polymerization (CRP) at high conversion remains a challenge. Currently, there are few reports about bulk CRP regulated by external field. In this work, a new strategy combining external fields of light and ultrasound, namely double-external-field, is reported to overcome the challenge. Light irradiation directly reduces the deactivator CuIIBr2/L in the presence of free amine ligand, while ultrasonic agitation improves the homogeneity of the system and moderates the diffusional limitations on activation-deactivation and termination processes. Bulk polymerizations of Me acrylate (MA) were conducted in a controlled manner at conversion over 90%, producing PMA with low dispersities (D = 1.05-1.07) and good retention of chain-end functionality (77%). In addition, good control over the polymerizations for Me methacrylate (MMA) and styrene was obtained, although the chain-end functionality of PMMA-Br requires further improvement. It is believed that this as-developed double-external-field regulation strategy is also applicable to other light induced bulk RDRP systems to improve the controllability. In the experiment, the researchers used Cupric bromide(cas: 7789-45-9Application of 7789-45-9)
Some reported applications of Cupric bromide(cas: 7789-45-9) are: catalyst in cross coupling reactions; co-catalyst in Sonogashira coupling; lewis acid in enantioselective addition of alkynes.Application of 7789-45-9
