We report a high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometric (HR ESI-MS) access route leading to in-depth insights into the spontaneous zwitterionic copolymerization mechanism between cyclic imino ethers (i.e., 2-methyl-2-oxazoline (MeOx), 2-ethyl-2-oxazoline (EtOx), or 2-ethyl-2-oxazine (EtOz)) with acrylic acid (AA), exploiting the characteristic species accumulating during the copolymerization as well as tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS). We demonstrate preferences in α,ω-end group formation by screening various feed ratios of cyclic imino ethers and acrylic acid (e.g., MeOx:AA = 1:1; MeOx:AA = 2:1; and MeOx:AA = 1:2). Critically, a calibration curve—based on AA-MeOx-AA dimer—was established allowing for the semiquantitative determination of the end-group ratios with different feed ratios of acrylic acid. The formation of previously suggested alternating copolymers was confirmed by MS/MS experiments. Deviations from an ideal alternating composition were found to decrease from MeOx to EtOx to EtOz. The results of (semiquantitative) HR ESI-MS and MS/MS measurements suggest, for the first time presented in such precision, a polymerization mechanism for the spontaneous zwitterionic (alternating) copolymerization indicating optimal monomer ratios and pairings.

揭示环状氨基醚与丙烯酸的自发性两性离子共聚机理

我们报告了高分辨率电喷雾电离质谱(HR ESI-MS)的访问途径,导致对环亚氨基醚(即2-甲基-2-恶唑啉(MeOx),2-乙基-2-恶唑啉(EtOx)或2-乙基-2-恶嗪(EtOz))与丙烯酸(AA),利用了在共聚以及串联质谱(MS / MS)过程中积累的特征性物质。通过筛选环状亚氨基醚和丙烯酸的各种进料比(例如MeOx:AA = 1:1; MeOx:AA = 2:1; MeOx:AA = 1:2),我们证明了在α,ω端基形成方面的偏好)。至关重要的是,建立了基于AA-MeOx-AA二聚体的校准曲线,从而可以半定量确定不同丙烯酸进料比例下的端基比例。通过MS / MS实验证实了先前提出的交替共聚物的形成。发现与理想的交替组成的偏差从MeOx到EtOx到EtOz减少。(半定量)HR ESI-MS和MS / MS测量结果首次以这种精确度表明,自发性两性离子(交替)共聚的聚合机理表明了最佳的单体比例和配对。
