Solvothermal polymerization (STP) of diaminomaleonitrile (DAMN) was evaluated using a wide variety of solvents and in the temperature range from 80 to 170 °C. The highest yields, almost quantitative, were achieved with protic -alcohols such as -pentanol or -hexanol at 130 and 150 °C, respectively. The kinetic behavior was studied by gravimetry and the DAMN consumption was monitored by UV-vis spectroscopy and HPLC. GC-MS identified byproducts of the DAMN hydrolysis and oxidation reactions, which were significantly reduced when -pentanol or -hexanol were used with respect to hydrothermal conditions. This led to an exploration of compositional changes and microstructural variations by FTIR and NMR spectroscopy and simultaneous thermal analysis. -Hexanol appears to be an ideal eco-friendly solvent for the DAMN self-STP. The results presented here are not only of interest for the design of polymeric materials based on C=N structures but also show remarkable implications for prebiotic chemistry.
使用多种溶剂并在80至170°C的温度范围内评估了二氨基马来腈(DAMN)的溶剂热聚合(STP)。分别在130°C和150°C下,使用质子醇如戊醇或己醇可实现几乎定量的最高产率。通过重量法研究了动力学行为,并通过紫外可见光谱和高效液相色谱监测了DAMN的消耗情况。气相色谱 - 质谱法鉴定了DAMN水解和氧化反应的副产物,与水热条件相比,当使用戊醇或己醇时,这些副产物显著减少。这促使通过傅里叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)、核磁共振光谱(NMR)和同步热分析来探索组成变化和微观结构变化。己醇似乎是DAMN自溶剂热聚合的理想环保溶剂。此处呈现的结果不仅对基于C=N结构的聚合物材料设计具有重要意义,而且对益生元化学也具有显著影响。
