    Notes: The gas phase enthalpies of formation for oligomeric radicals and anions H(CH2NH)n* and H(CH2O)n* were theoretically determined by ab initio quantum-mechanical calculations with n in the range 1 to 6. From these results, the reaction enthalpies for each of the first five propagation steps of the polymerization were estimated for methanimine (H2C = NH) and formaldehyde (H2C = O). At the same step of oligomerization, enthalpies associated with anionic polymerizations are always more negative than enthalpies corresponding to radical polymerizations, but the difference between them decreases with increasing n. Both Delta;H (propagation) vs. n curves tend rapidly, particularly for radical polymerizations, towards an asymptotic value independent of the mode of polymerization and equal to - 12 kcal/mol for formaldehyde and - 14 kcal/mol for methanimine. Experimental data for the gas phase polymerization of formaldehyde are in good agreement with our theoretical value. These results demonstrate that heats of polymerization can be reasonably estimated by intensive calculation methods if a careful choice of the reaction mimicking the propagation step is done.

    Notes: In this work, we have calculated the thermodynamic parameters of the polymerization of some derivatives of the species CH2=X (X = CH2, NH, O), using ab initio methods of quantum chemistry and the usual formalism of statistical thermodynamics. It is shown that the Gibbs functions ΔGp°(l, c) corresponding to CH2=NOCH3, CNCH=NCN, CF2=O and all the percyano derivatives are largely positive which indicates that the spontaneous (radical or ionic) chain polymerization of these monomers is thermodynamically prohibited.

    Notes: In this work, we have calculated the thermodynamic parameters of the first steps of the free radical and anionic polymerizations of various unsaturated monomers, using ab initio methods of quantum chemistry. The enthalpies and entropies of polymerization were estimated assuming that they correspond to those of the model reaction A = B(p) + HABAH(p′) → HABABAH(p′) where p and p′ stand for the physical state of the considered species. The enthalpies of polymerization were rationalized using the equation ΔH0p = -ΔΣ NABEAB + SE(A = B) + SE(HABAH) - SE(HABABAH) where NAB is the number of A — B bonds, EAB the corresponding bond energy, - ΔΣ NABEAB the variation of the sum of the bond energy terms, and SE(X) the thermodynamic stabilization energy of compound X. The preferential mode of polymerization of each monomer was derived from the enthalpies of the initiation and initial propagation steps of the two types of polymerization. Thus, we were able to make some comments concerning the feasibility of the polymerization of the monomers under consideration.
