Ring-Opening Polycondensations of Tin-Containing Macrocycles with Bis(Thioarylester)s N2 - 2,2-Dibutyl-2-stanna-1,3-dioxepane (DSDOP) was polycondensed with bis(4-chlorothiophenyl) suberat under various reaction conditions, but only moderate molecular weights (Mn 10000) were obtained. The MALDI-TOF mass spectrosmetry revealed the formation of cyclic oligo- and polyesters in addition to linear species having OH, CO2H, and unreacted 4-chlorothiophenyl ester endgroups. Furthermore, -Caprolactone (-CL) was polymerized with DSDOP as the initiator at monomer/initiator (M/I) ratios of 20 and 50. The resulting tin-containing macrocyclic polylactones were reacted with sebacic acid bis(4-thiocresyl)ester at three different temperatures and with different reaction times. Analogous polycondensations were conducted with suberic acid bis(4-chlorothiophenyl) ester. The presence of thioarylester endgroups in the isolated polyesters was checked by 1H NMR spectroscopy. The highest conversions were found at long reaction times (24 or 72 hours), or after the addition of pyridine and N,N-dimethylaminopyridine as catalysts. Despite high conversions, the number average molecular weights (Mn's) did not exceed values around 20000. Even in the samples having the highest molecular weights, unreacted 4-chlorothiophenylester endgroups were detected by GPC measurements evaluated with a UV-detector. It is concluded that both factors, cyclization and incomplete conversion, contribute to the limitation of the chain growth.

Aliphatic Poly(thio ester)s by Ring-Opening Polycondensation of 2-Stanna-1,3-Dithiacycloalkanes N2 - We prepared 2,2-dibutyl-2-stanna-1,3-dithiacycloalkanes from dibutyltin oxide and ,-dimercaptoalkanes. Heterocycles with five-, six-, seven-, or nine-ring members were used as bifunctional monomers for polycondensations with aliphatic dicarboxylic acid chlorides. These polycondensations conducted in bulk were highly exothermic and yielded poly(thio ester)s with number average molecular weights (Mn's) in the range of 5000-30,000 Da. These poly(thio ester)s proved to be rapidly crystallizing materials with melting temperatures in the range of 90-150 °C. In addition to the success of the new synthetic approach, two interesting and unpredictable results were obtained. All volatile species detectable by matrix assisted laser desorption induced-time of flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry were cyclic oligo- and poly(thio ester)s. Second, several polyesters showed a reversible first-order change of the crystal modification as identified by differential scanning calorimetry measurements and X-ray scattering with variation of the temperature. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
