摘要

A series of spirocopolymers are successfully constructed through the catalyst-free four-component spiropolymerization of diisocyanides

activated alkynes

and two different kinds of monomers with reactive carbonyl groups. The spirocopolymers display the unique cluster-triggered emission and aggregation-induced emission properties

and their emission properties can be well-modulated by altering the ratio of comonomers.

Abstract

Spiropolymers have gained a great deal of interest from both academic and industrial fields by virtue of their unique geometric structures and physical properties. Herein

we prepared a series of spirocopolymers through the catalyst-free four-component spiropolymerization of diisocyanides

activated alkynes

and two different kinds of monomers with reactive carbonyl groups. It is found that the polymerization reactivity of monomers

feeding modes

and feed ratios play significant roles in spirocopolymerization. Monomers with high reactivity and feeding reactive monomers first contribute to improving the molecular weights and yields of the polymers. The constructed copolymers have two different kinds of spiro structures

which is confirmed by the nuclear magnetic resonance. In addition

the spirocopolymers display the unique cluster-triggered emission and aggregation-induced emission properties

and their emission properties can be well-modulated by altering the ratio of comonomers. It is highly anticipated that this line of research will enrich the methodology of multi-component spiropolymerization

and provide a new insight into developing spiropolymers with various spiro structures and tunable properties.
