In this study, a series of bio-based captodative ligands were designed and synthesized to replace controversial phosphine oxides commonly used in the polymerization of Elium, successfully reducing the curing time. The investigation of the redox properties of manganese(iii) complexes revealed the impact of captodative ligands on the reduction potential.
Thermoplastic polymers obtained from resins such as Elium (R) combine desirable properties, including recyclability/reusability and excellent thermomechanical performances, at a relatively affordable cost. Nevertheless, their polymerization often requires a high amount of energy and/or involves hazardous chemical compounds. To address this last point, a series of bio-based captodative ligands was designed and synthesized in order to replace controversial phosphine oxides commonly used in low-energy initiating systems but suffering from toxicity issues. By using these captodative ligands, the curing time required for the polymerization of Elium (R) could be reduced from more than one hour to a mere 10 minutes. To gain a deeper insight into the redox mechanism involved during the polymerization process, the redox properties of a series of manganese(iii) complexes containing different captodative ligands have been investigated employing cyclic voltammetry. It has been demonstrated that ligand exchange reactions induced by using the captodative (or push-pull) ligands possessing both electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups had a significant impact on the reduction potential of the manganese(iii) complexes. The reduction potential significantly changed depending on the type of heteroatom atom (X = O, S) and substituent included in the scaffold of the captodative ligands. Thermoplastic polymers obtained from Elium (R) combine desirable properties including recyclability/reusability. In this work new biobased redox initiating systems are proposed for Elium.
