dc.description.abstract | Block copolymers containing both insulating and conducting segments have been shown to exhibit improved charge transport properties and air stability. Nevertheless, their syntheses are challenging, relying on multiple post‐polymerization functionalization reactions and purifications. A simpler approach would be to synthesize the block copolymer in one pot using the same catalyst to enchain both monomers via distinct mechanisms. Such multitasking polymerization catalysts are rare, however, due to the challenges of finding a single catalyst that can mediate living, chain‐growth polymerizations for each monomer under similar conditions. Herein, a diimine‐ligated Ni catalyst is evaluated and optimized to produce block copolymer containing both 1‐pentene and 3‐hexylthiophene. The reaction mixture also contains both homopolymers, suggesting catalyst dissociation during and/or after the switch in mechanisms. Experimental and theoretical studies reveal a high energy switching step coupled with infrequent catalyst dissociation as the culprits for the low yield of copolymer. Combined, these studies highlight the challenges of identifying multitasking catalysts, and suggest that further tuning the reaction conditions (e.g., ancillary ligand structure and/or metal) is warranted for this specific copolymerization. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym. Sci., Part A: Polym. Chem. 2018, 56, 132–137Block copolymers containing insulating segments (derived from 1‐pentene) and conducting segments (derived from 3‐hexylthiophene) are synthesized in one pot using a single multitasking catalyst. Notably, this process requires different enchainment mechanisms (coordination/insertion vs. cross‐coupling) mediated by the same precatalyst. Nevertheless, the block copolymer is the minor product due to a slow switching step between the mechanisms coupled with catalyst dissociation from the polymer chain. | |

dc.identifier.citedreference | The racemic (RS, SR) ligand generates a C 2 ‐symmetric Ni catalyst that predominantly gives ω,2‐enchainment with 1‐hexene, resulting in amorphous ethylene‐propylene copolymers. | |
dc.identifier.citedreference | Precatalyst geometries not specified in Chart 1. Precatalyst C1 is tetrahedral (as evidenced by a single‐crystal X‐ray structure, see ref. 39). Precatalyst C2 is expected to be square planar based on a related diimineNi(CH 2 TMS) 2 crystal structure (for ref, see: T. Schleis, T. P. Spaniol, J. Okuda, J. Heinemann, R. Mülhaupt, J. Organomet. Chem. 1998, 569, 159 ). Moreover, the 1 H NMR spectrum of precatalyst C1 displays peak shape/positions consistent with a paramagnetic complex (Fig. S3), while precatalyst C2 displays peak shape/positions consistent with a diamagnetic complex (Fig. S4). | |

dc.identifier.citedreference | The same number‐average molecular weights were obtained regardless of the monomer/catalyst ratio. A similar saturation in molecular weights was observed with precatalyst C2 /B(C 6 F 5 ) 3. This “saturation” effect may be due to chain–chain aggregation, which hinders catalyst propagation and/or accelerates chain‐transfer. | |
