The PET-RAFT polymerization method allows controlled synthesis of polymers using photoinduced electron transfer, providing an alternative to transition metal-based photoinitiators. Through the synthesis of fluorophore-conjugated RAFT agents, light-controlled polymerization has been achieved, yielding polymers with a single fluorophore per chain and allowing for the formation of fluorescently labelled and block copolymers.
Photoinduced electron transfer-reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer (PET-RAFT) polymerisation allows the controlled synthesis of polymers and provides an alternative to transition metal-based photoinitiators. Here, fluorophore-conjugated RAFT agents, containing either 5-carboxyfluorescein or a boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY) moiety attached to a thiocarbonylthio group, were synthesised. Both agents enabled light-controlled (470 nm, 0.4 mW/cm2) on/off polymerisation yielding polymers with a Mw/Mn < 1.50. The BODIPY-based RAFT agent showed excellent photostability and gave polymers that contained a single fluorophore per polymer chain, providing an expedient route to homogeneous fluorescently labelled polymers. This agent was compatible with multiple acrylamide/acrylate monomers with a range of functional groups, with the thiocarbonylthio terminating group enabling further polymer chain extension and the formation of fluorescent block copolymers, as demonstrated by the synthesis of BODIPY-labelled poly(N,N-dimethylacrylamide)-block-poly (3acrylamidophenyl)boronic acid).
