N2 - A newly established catalyst system for oxygen-oxidative polymerization of diphenyl disulfide is reported. Combination of vanadyl compounds (e.g., VO(acac)2) and triphenylmethylium tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate (TrB(C6F5)4) proceeds the polymerization to give poly(1,4-phenylene sulfide) (PPS) at 100 °C. When triphenylmethylium tetrafluoroborate (TrBF4) is applied with vanadyl tetraphenylporphyrin (VO(TPP)) or N,N′-(ethylenebis(salicylideneaminato))oxovanadium (VO(salen)), PPS is also given via polymerization under conditions near 160 °C. Combination of the vanadyl complex and the borate affords the first protic-acid-free catalytic system for the polymerization of the disulfide, suggesting the overall reaction to produce PPS and H2O from O2 and protons that are eliminated from the monomer. Strong-acid-free oxygen-oxidative polymerization of PhSSPh is presented, catalyzed by a vanadyl and TrBR4 system. TrB(C6F5)4 is found to activate VO(acac)2 at 100 °C and the catalyst gives poly(1,4-phenylene sulfide) (PPS) from PhSSPh. TrBF4 has stronger nucleophilicity, but is found to activate VO(salen) and VO(TPP) at 160 °C for preparing PPS.
