摘要: A mixture of cis/trans isomers phospha[1]ferrocenophanes equipped with one iPr group at the α position to bridging PhP moiety was prepared. Both (cis-4 and trans-4) were obtained as racemates could be separated so that their thermal properties investigated individually. The molecular structure cis-4 determined by single-crystal X-ray analysis showing a tilt angle α=26.35(8)°. Interconversion between both occurred in melt elevated temperatures revealed trans isomer is thermodynamically more stable. Structural thermodynamic data complemented DFT calculations (B3PW91/6-311+G(d,p) B3PW91-D3(BJ)/6-311+G(d,p)). Performance ring-opening polymerization (ROP) trans-4 230 °C gave polymers cyclic oligomers. Gel permeation chromatography (GPC) sulfurized polymer resulted weight 62.5 kDa (Mw) polydispersity index 1.39 (PDI). Mass spectrometric oligomers showed presence species from dimers heptamers. After sulfurization, preparative thin layer led separation three isomeric dimers. characterization these conclusion Fe−Cp bond breaks during ROP process. mechanism similar known photolytic ferrocenophanes proposed.
