In this work, air-stable palladium(II) catalysts bearing bidentate phosphine ligands were designed and prepared, which could initiate fast and living polymerizations of various diazoacetate monomers under mild conditions. The polymerization afforded the desired polymers in high yields with controlled molecular weights (M(n)s) and narrow molecular weight distributions (M-w/M(n)s). The M(n)s of the isolated polymers were linearly correlated to the initial feed ratios of monomer to catalyst, confirming the living/controlled manner of the polymerizations. The M-n also increased linearly with the monomer conversion, and all of the isolated polymers showed narrow M-w/M(n)s. The polymerization was relatively fast and could be accomplished within several minutes. Such fast living polymerization method can be applied to a wide range of diazoacetate monomers in various organic solvents at room temperature in air. Taking advantage of the living nature, we facilely prepared a series of block copolymers through chain extension reactions. The amphiphilic block copolymers synthesized by this method exhibited interesting self-assembly properties. Moreover, polymerization of achiral bulky diazoacetate by Pd(II) catalysts bearing a chiral bidentate phosphine ligand leads to the formation of polymers with high optical activity due to the formation of the predominantly one-handed helix of the main chain. The helix sense of the polymers was determined by the chirality of the Pd(II) catalysts.
