Kinetics of the Coordination Polymerization of -olefins Catalyzed by Nickel Diimine Complexes
Peleška, Jan ; Kratochvíla, Jan (referee) ; Pinkas,, Jiří (referee) ; Petrůj, Jaroslav (referee) ; Cihlář, Jaroslav (advisor)
This Ph.D. thesis is focused on kinetic study of propene and hex-1-ene coordination polymerizations initiated by complex [(2-tBuC6H4)N=C(1,8-naphtalenediyl)C=N(2-tBuC6H4)]NiBr2 activated by simple organoaluminium compounds and on product properties. In first three parts proper activators are chosen in model polymerizations. The attention is paid to the reproducibility of polymerizations and analytical methods. The fourth part is focused on propene polymerization kinetics with the aim to define optimal reaction conditions, especially polymerization temperature and time. The four part concerns also properties of polymers. The fifth and sixth parts deal with hex-1-ene polymerization kinetics conducted at various activator/initiator molar ratios and various catalytic precursor concentrations, to find out kinetic orders with respect to catalyst and cocatalyst concentration. Last part is oriented on detail mechanistic investigation of nickel diimine complexes activation process. Results of measurements in presence or absence of monomer enabled to propose new interpretation of UV-vis spectra based on concrete structures of absorbing species.

Templating as a new method of creating and modifying the porous texture of polyacetylene networks
Sokol, Jiří ; Sedláček, Jan (advisor) ; Balcar, Hynek (referee)
A new method of introducing permanent micropores into hyper-cross-linked polyacetylene networks has been developed. The method used a combination of polyacetylene chemistry and Schiff base chemistry. Through the coordination chain-growth polymerization of monomers with polymerizable ethynyl groups, a wide series of homopolymer and copolymer networks with rigid polyene main chains interconnected by arylene links was prepared. The networks carried substituents of the predominantly aromatic Schiff-base-type in the pendant groups. With increasing content and volume of these substituents the specific surface area of the networks decreased. The networks with a high content of Schiff-base-type substituents were non-porous. The prepared networks were subsequently hydrolyzed under the conditions optimized in this diploma thesis. The hydrolysis led to a highly efficient cleavage of the Schiff base methanimine linkages and to the removal of the cleaved low molecular weight aromatic amine and aldehyde segments from the networks. In this way, new functional groups were generated in the networks, either CH=O or NH2. The hydrolytic modification had a fundamental effect on the texture parameters of the networks. The modification of the originally microporous networks mostly led to an increase in the specific...

Conjugated porous polymers derived from diethynylarenes by chain-growth polymerization and polycyclotrimerization
Slováková, Eva ; Sedláček, Jan (advisor) ; Merna, Jan (referee) ; Červený, Libor (referee)
4 ABSTRACT The synthesis has been described yielding a new type of rigid conjugated polymer networks which possess a high content of permanent micropores and macropores and exhibit high surface areas up to 1469 m2/g. The networks have been prepared via chain-growth coordination polymerization catalysed with insertion catalysts based on Rh complexes. This polymerization has been newly applied to bifunctional acetylenic monomers of diethynylarene type (1,4-diethynylbenzene, 1,3-diethynylbenzene and 4,4'-diethynylbiphenyl). The covalent structure of the networks consists of the polyacetylene main chains densely connected by arylene struts. The W and Mo metathesis catalysts have been revealed as inefficient for the synthesis of these networks. The increase in the polymerization temperature and time has been shown to affect positively the content and the diameter (up to 22 nm) of the mesopores in the networks. A mechanism has been proposed that explains the mesopores formation as a result of mutual knitting of small particles of the microporous polymer. The application of emulsion polymerization technique allowed to prepare texturally hierarchical polyacetylene networks possessing interconnected open macropores (diameter up to 4,8 μm) the walls of which exhibited micro/mesoporous texture. It was demonstrated...

Preparation of functionalized polyacetylenes with linear and cross-linked architecture
Havelková, Lucie ; Sedláček, Jan (advisor) ; Balcar, Hynek (referee)
The phenylacetylene type monomers with benzene ring substituted with one or two aldehyde groups (besides an ethynyl group) were efficiently polymerized into linear mostly high-molecular-weight polyacetylenes with aldehyde groups in pendants if the complex [Rh(NBD)acac] was used as the polymerization catalyst. To achieve high yield and molecular weight of the polymer the positioning of the aldehyde group to meta position with respect to the ethynyl group was most appropriate. It was confirmed that polyacetylenes with aldehyde groups were modifiable by a reaction with p-toluidine under formation of Schiff base type pendant groups. 1,3-Diethynylbenzenes with various substituents in position 5 on the ring (R = H, F, Cl, Br, HCO, NO2, COOCH3) were efficiently polymerized with [Rh(NBD)acac] catalyst into microporous or micro/mesoporous polyacetylene networks that exhibited specific surface area from 311 to 1146 m2 /g. In the case of the networks with HC=O groups, the positive effect of these groups was confirmed on the capacity of the network in CO2 and methanol vapor capture. The composition and texture of the networks possessing HC=O groups were partly reversibly modifiable in reaction with p-toluidine.

Synthesis of microporous polymer networks with azomethine links
Hašková, Alena ; Sedláček, Jan (advisor) ; Balcar, Hynek (referee)
A series of following Schiff base type monomers with two terminal ethynyl groups and one or two azomethine groups have been synthesized: N-(4-ethynylbenzylidene)(4-ethynylaniline), positional isomers of N,N'-(1,4-phenylene)bis(1-(ethynylphenyl)methanimine) and positional isomers of 1,1'-(1,4-phenylene)bis[(N-ethynylphenyl)methanimine]. These monomers have been successfully polymerized in chain-growth mode with the use of [Rh(NBD)acac] as the coordination catalyst into densely cross-linked polyacetylene networks with micro/mesoporous texture and specific surface in hundreds of m2 /g. The positive correlation between the conversion of ethynyl groups and specific surface area on one hand and the increase in reaction temperature and reaction time on the other side was proven. Varying the composition and architecture of polymerized monomers affected particularly the distribution of micropores and mesopores in the networks. The postpolymerization modification of poly[N-(4-ethynylbenzylidene)(4- ethynylaniline)] network has been performed consisting in a partial releasing the links connecting the linear segments of the network. It was confirmed that despite this modification the network preserved the micro/mesoporous texture.
