Mechanochemical radical polymerization has unique advantages in the synthesis of polymer due to its reduced solvent consumption and adaptability of insoluble monomers. However, it suffers from the uncontrollable degradation of the formed polymers during reaction and new synthetic strategy with precise controllability needs to be developed. Here, by employing high static pressure up to 30 GPa, we found 1,3,5-trifluorobenzene undergoes radical polymerization by breaking the conjugated
-bonds, and forms a carbon nanothread with high selectivity (Polymer-I polymorph). Based on the crystal structure at the threshold pressure and the calculated energy barriers for the bonding pathway, we concluded that the benzene-rings react via a 1-2 radical polymerization pathway. Our work highlights high pressure is a robust method to initiate the solid-state radical polymerization, even for very stable aromatics, and offers fresh insights for the synthesis of polymeric carbon-based materials with high selectivity.

-carbon nanothreads (CNTh) have garnered significant interest due to their predicted high Young's modulus and thermal conductivity. While the incorporation of heteroatoms into the central ring has been shown to influence the formation of CNTh and yield chemically homogeneous products, the impact of pendant groups on the polymerization process remains underexplored. In this study, we investigate the pressure-induced polymerization of phenol, revealing two phase transitions occurring below 0.5 and 4 GPa. Above 20 GPa, phenol polymerizes into degree-4 CNThs featuring hydroxyl and carbonyl groups. Hydrogen transfer of hydroxyl groups was found to hinder the formation of degree-6 nanothreads. Our findings highlight the crucial role of the hydroxyl group in halting further intracolumn polymerization and offer valuable insights for future mechanism research and nanomaterial synthesis.

Times Cited Count:3 Percentile:51.78(Chemistry, Physical)Pressure-induced polymerization (PIP) of aromatic molecules has emerged as an effective method for synthesizing various carbon-based materials. In this work, PIP of 1,4-difluorobenzene (1,4-DFB) was investigated.
high-pressure investigations of 1,4-DFB reveal a phase transition at approximately 12.0 GPa and an irreversible chemical reaction at 18.7 GPa. Structural analysis of the product and the kinetics of the reaction uncovered the formation of pseudohexagonal stacked fluoro-diamond nanothreads with linear growth. Compared to the crystal structures of benzene under high pressure, 1,4-DFB exhibits higher compression along the [001] axis. The anisotropic compression is attributed to the stronger H
interaction along the [01
] axis and the potential compression-inhibiting H
F interactions along the [100] and [010] axes, and it facilitates a possible reaction pathway along the [01
] axis. This work emphasizes the crucial role of functionalization in modulating molecular stacking and influencing the reaction pathway.
