Abstract

The synthesis of a wide range of polymers, particularly conjugated polymers, using contemporary metal-mediated coupling and metathesis methodologies is described. Emphasis is directed toward reaction mechanism and scope as well as applications. Examples of metal-mediated reactions discussed include Kumada and Negishi coupling; nickel homocoupling; Stille, Heck, and Sonogashira coupling; and Buchwald–Hartwig aryl amination. Examples of polymers discussed include polythiophene, poly(p-arylene), poly(p-arylenevinylene), poly(p-aryleneethynylene), and polyaniline.

Biogenic palladium nanoparticles: An effectual environmental benign catalyst for organic coupling reactions
2022, Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry
Citation Excerpt :
Nasrollahzadeh et al. [173] have also used sour cherry tree gum for the conversion of Pd(II) to Pd(0) under aerobic conditions at 70 °C; the average size of PdNPs was ∼5 nm and they exhibited efficacy in catalyzing C–C coupling reactions [173]. Using palladium (0) species as nanocatalysts, aryl or alkenyl halides coupled with boronic esters or boronic acids to form new sp2–sp2 hybridized centers, the reaction proceed via appropriate amount of stoichiometric base [174]. Recently, Alonso et al. [23], briefly overviewed the recent developments involving solid-supported palladium catalysts for Sonogashira coupling reactions.
Metal nanoparticles have always attracted attention for applied catalysis in technical fields including sensor applications. Biogenically synthesized nanoparticles are uniquely non-toxic and possess enhanced antimicrobial activity. Eco-friendly palladium nanoparticles (PdNPs) synthesized from plant extracts and/or biopolymers have wide biomedical, environmental, and biosensor applications. The size, shape, stability, and catalytic behavior of PdNPs are influenced by factors such as pH, temperature, concentration of metallic salt, and concentration of plant extract/biopolymer solutions. This review article focuses on the comprehensive synthesis of biogenic PdNPs from phytochemicals/biopolymers and concisely reports their heterogeneous organic catalytic applications. Furthermore, improved catalytic efficiencies, selectivities, and reaction yields of organic coupling reactions catalyzed by biogenic PdNPs are discussed in detail. This review highlights the safety, sustainability, and effective catalytic activity of biogenic PdNPs for organic coupling reactions, which ensures lesser toxic waste generation and reduces hazardous effects on the environment.
Facile synthesis of oligo(3-hexylthiophene)s conductive wires with charge-transfer functions
2017, Polymer Chemistry
A series of fully conjugated oligo(3-hexylthiophene)s bearing different starting- and end-groups have been synthesized by means of externally initiated Kumada catalyst-transfer polymerization (KCTP) and Grignard Metathesis Polymerization (GRIM). These kinds of oligomers’ starting- and end-groups include tert-butyl protected thiols to be used for binding of oligomers to gold electrodes and tetracyanobutadiene-based donor–acceptor (DA) end-groups, such as dimethylaniline-tetracyanobutadiene (DMA-TCBD) and ferrocene-tetracyanobutadiene (Fc-TCBD), introduced to control the charge transport through the oligomers. The DMA-TCBD and Fc-TCBD end groups were incorporated by means of a Diederich-type click transformation of appropriately end-terminated oligo(3-hexylthiophene)s. The efficiency of the end-group functionalization was comprehensively assessed by NMR spectroscopy and MALDI-TOF spectrometry whereas the redox activities of the DA end-groups were examined by cyclic voltammetry. KCTP showed a much superior performance compared to GRIM in the introduction of a desirable end-group functionality. The thus-prepared conjugated oligomers are attractive materials for application in molecular electronics which will be explored in future studies.
