PDMS, monohydride terminated
(
AB250915, viscosity 5–9 cSt.) (
Mn = 1136 g/mol determined by
1H NMR end-group analysis),
was purchased from ABCR. Karstedt’s catalyst (platinum(0)-1,3-divinyl-1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane
complex solution in xylene, Pt ≈ 2%),
allyl alcohol, 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine
(DMAP),
N,
N′-diisopropylcarbodiimid
(DIC, 18.4 mL, 122.4 mmol, 3.4 equiv),
5-norbornene-2-carboxylic acid(mixture of
endo and
exo, predominantly
endo), 5-norbornene-2-carbonitrile, first-generation Grubbs’
catalyst,
2,2-dimethoxy-2-phenylacetophenone (DMPA), and 2,2′-(ethylenedioxy)diethanethiol
(
CL) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich. Poly(vinyl alcohol)
(PVA, R&G-PVA-Folientrennmittel) was purchased from Suter-Kunststoff
AG. Methanol (MeOH), dichloromethane (DCM), ethyl acetate (EA),
toluene(Tol), tetrahydrofuran (THF), and heptane were purchased from VWR.
All chemicals were of reagent grade and used without purification;
only
toluene was dried over sodium using
benzophenone as an indicator
and DCM over calcium hydride and distilled before use.
