Key Points

This research aims to explore the conversion of carbon dioxide into valuable synthetic polymers through a new polymerization technique.
Utilized multicomponent tandem polymerization (MCTP) as a synthetic strategy.
Engaged alkynes, CO2, alkyl bromide, and thiol in the polymerization process.
Characterized the resulting functional poly(β-thioacrylate)s.
Successfully synthesized functional poly(β-thioacrylate)s from CO2 and other reactants.
Demonstrated the effectiveness of MCTP in creating value-added materials from waste.
Showed potential for the development of sustainable polymerization methods.

Implication

Multicomponent tandem polymerization of alkynes and CO2 produces functional poly(β-thioacrylate)s, suggesting new materials from waste carbon.

Abstract

The direct conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) into value-added polymeric materials has garnered considerable research interest in recent decades. Multicomponent tandem polymerization (MCTP), as an emerging synthetic strategy, demonstrates exceptional...
