Abstract

A diphosphinoamine ligand with a polymerizable side chain,$(PPh_{2})_{2}N-CH_{2}-C_{6}H_{4}-CH=CH_{2}$ (vbzpnp or 1), was synthesized. The ligand could be polymerized by anionic polymerization with n-butyllithium as the initiator. Polyvbzpnp was soluble in tetrahydrofuran and chloroform but was insoluble in methanol and was characterized with NMR, IR, and gel permeation chromatography. The number-average and weight-average molecular weights were 40,050 and 55,690, respectively, and the polydispersity index was 1.39. $[Cu(CH_{3}CN)_{4}]ClO_{4}$ formed a hischelated complex with the monomer and produced $[CU(1)_{2}]ClO_{4}(2)$, and CuCl formed a tetramer, $Cu_{4}(1)_{2}Cl_{4}(3)$. All the compounds (1, 2, and 3) were characterized with single-crystal structure determination, NMR, and IR spectroscopy. The addition of $[Cu(CH_{3}CN)_{4}]ClO_{4}$ to polyvbzpnp resulted in an insoluble crosslinked polymer, which was characterized with solid-state $^{31}P{^{1}H}$ magic-angle-spinning NMR. The copolymerization of styrene and 1 produced a styrene-vbzpnp copolymer that was found to be soluble in common organic solvents.
