実施例16に記載の方法で、前記式(G17)で示されるイオン性基を含有しないオリゴマーa3’(末端フルオロ基)の合成を行った。数平均分子量は16000であり、イオン性基を含有しないオリゴマーa3の数平均分子量は、リンカー部位(分子量630)を差し引いた値15400と求められた。
市販のナフィオン(登録商標)NRE211CS膜(デュポン社製)を用い、各種特性を評価した。中和滴定から求めたイオン交換容量は0.9meq/gであった。目視では透明で均一な膜であり、TEM観察において明確な相分離構造は確認されなかった。プロトン伝導度は、80℃、相対湿度85%で100mS/cm、80℃、相対湿度25%で3mS/cmであった。また、熱水中に浸漬すると激しく膨潤し、取り扱いが困難で掴むと破れてしまうこともあった。
(下記一般式(G23)で表されるイオン性基を含有するオリゴマーa7の合成)
かき混ぜ機、窒素導入管、Dean-Starkトラップを備えた1000mL三口フラスコに、炭酸カリウム27.6g(アルドリッチ試薬、200mmol)、前記合成例1で得た2,2-ビス(4-ヒドロキシフェニル)-1,3-ジオキサン混合物12.9g(50mmol)および4,4'-ビフェノール9.3g(アルドリッチ試薬、50mmol)、前記合成例2で得たジソジウム-3,3'-ジスルホネート-4,4'-ジフルオロベンゾフェノン39.3g(93mmol)、および18-クラウン-6-エーテル17.9g(和光純薬82mmol)を入れ、窒素置換後、N-メチルピロリドン(NMP)300mL、トルエン100mL中で170℃で脱水後、昇温してトルエン除去、180℃で1時間重合を行った。多量のイソプロピルアルコールで再沈殿することで精製を行い、下記式(G23)で示されるイオン性基を含有するオリゴマーa7(末端:ОМ基)を得た。数平均分子量は16000であった。
(イオン性基およびケタール基を含有しないポリエーテルケトンオリゴマーc1の合成)
2,2-ビス(4-ヒドロキシフェニル)-1,3-ジオキサン(K-DHBP)25.8g(100mmol)に変えて、4,4'-ジヒドロキシベンゾフェノン(DHBP)21.4g(100mmol)を入れた以外は実施例15に記載の方法でイオン性基を含有しないポリエーテルケトンオリゴマーの合成を行った。重合初期段階から、ポリマーが析出し、重合が困難であった。溶剤不溶性のためブロック共重合体の重合は困難であり、電解質膜として評価できなかった。
ジャーナル・オブ・ポリマー・サイエンス・A・ポリマー・ケミストリー(Journal of Polymer Science A Polymer Chemistry), 48, 2757, 2010.に記載の方法で、ポリエーテルスルホン系のブロック共重合体の合成を行った。すなわち、まず、4,4-ジクロロジフェニルスルホンを発煙硫酸中で反応させ、反応終了後、塩化ナトリウムを用いて塩析を行うことにより、3,3'-ジスルホン酸ナトリウム塩-4,4'-ジクロロジフェニルスルホン(以下、「SDCDPS」と称する)を得た。次いで、窒素雰囲気下、ディーンスターク管を付けた一口なすフラスコに前記SDCDPS3.16g(6.0mmol)、4,4'-ビフェノール1.34g(7.2mmol)、炭酸カリウム1.49g(10.8mmol)、NMP23mL、トルエン20mLを仕込み、150℃にて2時間保温することにより系中の水分を共沸除去した。その後180℃まで昇温し、16時間反応させた。放冷後、反応液を水に注ぎ、塩化カリウムを加えた。ろ過で析出物を回収し、60℃にて減圧乾燥することで両末端がOM基の親水性オリゴマーを得た。
イオン性基を含有するオリゴマーa2(末端OM基)に変えて、イオン性基を含有するオリゴマーc3(末端OM基)を19g(1mmol)を入れ、イオン性基を含有しないオリゴマーa1’(末端フルオロ基)に変えて、イオン性基を含有しないオリゴマーc2’(末端フルオロ基)14g(1mmol)を入れた以外は実施例15に記載の方法で、ブロック共重合体d1を得た。重量平均分子量は16万であった。
