Abstract
Atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of styrene (St) using two initiators with similar structures, 5-chloromethyl-2-methoxy-benzaldehyde (CMMB) and 5-chloromethyl-2-hydroxyl-benzaldehyde (CMOB), CuCl/N,N,N′,N″,N″-pentamethyldiethyltriamine (PMDETA) as catalyst were studied in this paper. At the same reaction condition, the ATRP using CMMB was obviously accelerated, the efficiency of the initiator was higher and even could proceed at relatively lower temperature (40 °C), while ATRP using CMOB as initiator shows obvious slow-initiation and was under poor-control. It was speculated that, the methoxy group in CMMB has stronger electron-donor ability and avoid the formation of hydrogen bond, so that the ATRP was promoted. Furthermore, the end group of obtained PSt can also be turned into Schiff base and form polymeric complex with metal ions, which owns good film-forming ability and shows visible fluorescence.
