Hyperbranched Poly(ferrocenylphenylenes): Synthesis, Characterization, Redox Activity, Metal Complexation, Pyrolytic Ceramization, and Soft Ferromagnetism
文摘
Hyperbranched poly(ferrocenylphenylenes) (hb-PFPs) with high molecular weights were synthesizedby the copolycyclotrimerizations of (E,E)-1,1'-bis[2-(4-ethynylphenyl)vinyl]ferrocene (1) with (E)-1-[2-(4-ethynylphenyl)vinyl]ferrocene (2) catalyzed by TaCl5-Ph4Sn at room temperature in high yields (up to 97%).Effects of reaction conditions, such as monomer and catalyst concentrations, reaction time and molar feed ratio(r1/2), on the copolycyclotrimerization were investigated. Solubility of the copolymer is decreased with an increasein its content of diyne component (N1/N2). The hb-PFPs were characterized by IR, NMR, UV, CV and TGAanalyses. The copolymers are redox active, whose oxidation potentials are decreased with an increase in N1/N2.They are thermally stable, losing ~5% of weights when heated to 384-400 C and retaining ~70% of weightswhen pyrolyzed at 1200 C. The complexation with cobalt carbonyl further metallizes the hb-PFPs and the pyrolyticceramization of the cobalt-polymer complexes yields soft ferromagnetic ceramics with high magnetizability (Msup to ~126 emu/g) and low coercivity (Hc down to ~0.068 kOe).
