Diffusion-controlled deactivation of excited phenanthrene and oxidation of triplet aryl-nitrene by molecular oxygen were used to determine the energetics of oxygen jump rates in the set of glassy polymers: poly(methyl methacrylate), poly(n-butyl methacrylate), polycarbonate, polystyrene, and polysulfone. To interpret experimental results, a simple model based on the transition state theory of diffusion jump has been used. The kinetic Monte Carlo simulations of phenanthrene deactivation and nitrene oxidation were carried out in a cubic lattice that modeled a polymer matrix. The bonds of the lattice were assigned to be activation barriers for the diffusion jumps of oxygen molecules from one site of the lattice to another. The standard deviation, σ‡, and spatial correlation length, rc, of the free energy of diffusion jump have been determined. It is shown that the spatial correlation of oxygen jump rates on a nanometer scale and the entropic nature of the dynamic heterogeneity are common features of all the studied polymers.
