The control technique of polymer mol. weight is required for the synthesis of versatile polymers with various properties. In our previous work, we found that CeO2 + 2-cyanopyridine catalyst system was effective for the direct synthesis of alternating polycarbonates from CO2 and diols, however, the maximum average mol. weight was ∼1000 g mol-1 (d.p. = 7-8). In this study, we succeeded in the synthesis of alternating polycarbonates with higher mol. weight from CO2 and diols by using a catalyst system of CeO2 + 2-furonitrile. The average mol. weight reached up to 5000 g mol-1 and could be controlled by adjusting the amount of diols and 2-furonitrile. Moreover, polycarbonate diols, polycarbonates without capping of OH groups at the ends, were obtained with the average mol. weight of ∼2000 g mol-1. The catalyst system was applicable to the direct polymerization of CO2 and various α,ω-diols, providing the corresponding alternating polymers. Comparison of CeO2 + 2-cyanopyridine and CeO2 + 2-furonitrile catalyst systems based on the kinetics and DFT calculations showed two main causes for the formation of polycarbonates with higher mol. weight in the CeO2 + 2-furonitrile catalyst system: First, the reactivity of 2-furamide, which was formed from 2-furonitrile, with produced polycarbonate diols was lower than that of 2-picolinamide, which was formed from 2-cyanopyridine, leading to decrease of formation of ester-capped polycarbonates. Second, the adsorption of 2-furonitrile on CeO2 was weaker than that of 2-cyanopyridine, leading to low steric hindrance at the active sites of CeO2 and enabling the reaction of longer diols, such as polycarbonate diols with CO2.
This literature about this compound(1452-77-3)Reference of Picolinamidehas given us a lot of inspiration, and I hope that the research on this compound(Picolinamide) can be further advanced. Maybe we can get more compounds in a similar way.
