Abstract

AbstractBenzyl 9H-carbazole-9-carbodithioate (BCC) was synthesized and characterized. The single-crystal structure of BCC was first reported. The RAFT polymerizations of styrene and acrylates using BCC as the RAFT agent under conventional polymerization conditions were investigated. The results showed that the BCC was an effective RAFT agent for the polymerizations of styrene and acrylates. The well-controlled polymers were labelled with carbazole group, which was confirmed by 1H NMR and the chain extension of the obtained polymer. Azo modified poly(methyl acrylate) (PMA) was synthesized through a postpolymerization azo-coupling scheme. The optical properties of obtained polymer were also characterized. The results showed that the carbazole group labelled polymer exhibited fluorescence and the azo polymer exhibited UV absorption behaviour in N,N-dimethyl formamide (DMF).
