Lewis acids promote the polymerization of several 2-chloroalkylenedioxythiophenes, providing high-molecular-weight conjugated polymers. The proposed mechanism is a cationic chain-growth polymerization, as confirmed by end-capping reactions and a linear correlation of molecular weight with percent conversion. The "living" character of this process was used to prepare new block copolymers.
路易斯酸促进了几种 2-氯烷基二氧噻吩的聚合,提供了高分子量的共轭聚合物。所提出的机理是阳离子链式聚合,这一点通过封端反应和分子量与转化率的线性关系得到了证实。该过程的“活性”特征被用于制备新型嵌段共聚物。
