In this study, it was found that benzylic palladium complexes are suitable precatalysts for the challenging vinylic addition polymerization of 5-vinyl-2-norbornene (VNB). A highly active catalyst can be formed with a mixture of [Pd-2(mu-Br)(2)(eta(3)-C6H5CHCH2C6F5)(2)], PCy3 and NaBAr4F, resulting in high molecular weight polymers of VNB with preserved exocyclic pendant double bonds. The nature of the counterion, with BAr4F- being the most efficient among several tested, plays a crucial role in the propagation of the polymerization process.
In contrast with the parent norbornene, the vinylic addition polymerization of substituted norbornene derivatives is difficult to achieve. We have found that benzylic palladium complexes are suitable precatalysts in the challenging vinylic addition polymerization of 5-vinyl-2-norbornene (VNB). A mixture of [Pd-2(mu-Br)(2)(eta(3)-C6H5CHCH2C6F5)(2)] (1), PCy3 and NaBAr4F leads to a very active catalyst that homopolymerizes VNB leading to high molecular weight polymers where the exocyclic pendant double bond is preserved. Only 2 ppm of palladium are needed to obtain VA-PVNB in high yield. The order of mixing of the components of the precatalyst mixture does not affect the degree of polymerization but it influences the initiation step which occurs by insertion of VNB: (a) into a Pd-H bond generated from the neutral complex 1 or (b) into a Pd-C(benzyl) bond when the cationic [Pd(eta(3)-C6H5CHCH2C6F5)(PCy3)(L)]BAr4F is preformed. In either case, the easy transformation from eta(3)- to a sigma-benzyl opens a coordination site on the metal that favors the initiation. The nature of the counterion is important in the propagation of the polymerization and, among several low-coordinating anions tested, BAr4F- is the most efficient.
