Popis: | Trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate (TMPTMA) formed a 1:2 inclusion complex (IC) with β-cyclodextrin (β-CD). Polymerization of the complex resulted in a soluble, linear polymer containing two pendant unsaturations per repeat unit since the methacryloyl groups included in the β-CD cavity did not react with the growing radical chain. Trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TMPTA) formed a 1:1 complex with β-CD. Yet a soluble polymer containing two pendant unsaturations per repeat unit was obtained. Computational analysis confirmed that in TMPTA hydrogen bonding between C−H···OC brings two acryloyl groups in close vicinity of one another. As a result, both acryloyl groups were included in the same β-CD cavity. Trimethylolpropane diacrylate 4-vinylbenzoate (TMPDAVB) once again formed 1:2 IC as a result of disruption of hydrogen bonds between two acryloyl groups. The study highlights that an understanding of the composition of the IC is more important than its stoichiometry alone. |
