Ruthenium reagents with two, four, and six chloromethyl functionalities, [(bpy)nRu{bpy(CH2Cl)2}3-n](PF6)2 (n = 0−2), were employed as multifunctional metalloinitiators for the cationic polymerization of 2-ethyl-2-oxazoline to generate orange, glassy polymers with narrow molecular weight (MW) distributions. MWs were determined by GPC vs PMMA standards and for selected samples by GPC with multiangle laser light scattering (MALLS) detection. In-line diode array UV/vis spectroscopic analysis coupled with GPC MW determination confirms the presence of [Ru(bpy)3]2+ chromophores in the eluting polymers. Polymers are luminescent, and they exhibit thermal properties analogous to the metal-free PEOX counterparts (Tg ∼ 54 °C; onset of thermal decomposition at 365−385 °C). Unlike reactions run with a labile hexafunctional Fe initiator, reactions wherein MWs > 100K and degrees of polymerization (dp) >200 are attainable, Ru-centered polymers reach an upper MW limit of ∼25K regardless of the number of functionalities on ...
