The synthesis of ROS-responsive polymers has attracted much attentions in recent years. Herein, we report a series of amphiphilic methoxy poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(carbonate-selenide)s (mPEG45-b-poly(MSe)m, m = 12, 24, 36, 48, 60) by introducing selenide groups onto the backbone via one-pot lipase-catalyzed ring-opening polymerization (ROP), the synthesized amphiphilic polymers with enhanced ROS-responsiveness can self-assemble to form nanoparticles. NMR, Gel Permeation Chromatog. and Fourier Transform IR are employed to confirm the structure of the polymers. Besides, the oxidation process of mPEG45-b-poly(MSe)m nanoparticles is also clarified. UV-visible Spectrophotometer, Dynamic Light Scattering and Transmission Electron Microscopy are further utilized to demonstrate the turbidity, morphol. and size changes under oxidization, proving that the selenide groups endow the mPEG45-b-poly(MSe)m nanoparticles with enhanced ROS-response properties. Therefore, the above studies highlight the synthesized ROS-responsive polymers and provided a potential material for further applications. This study involved multiple reactions and reactants, such as Diphenyl carbonate (cas: 102-09-0Electric Literature of C13H10O3).
Diphenyl carbonate (cas: 102-09-0) belongs to esters. Carboxylic acid esters of low molecular weight are colourless, volatile liquids with pleasant odours, slightly soluble in water. Esters contain a carbonyl center, which gives rise to 120° C–C–O and O–C–O angles. Unlike amides, esters are structurally flexible functional groups because rotation about the C–O–C bonds has a low barrier. Their flexibility and low polarity is manifested in their physical properties; they tend to be less rigid (lower melting point) and more volatile (lower boiling point) than the corresponding amides.
