N-Substituted Fluorinated Polybenzimidazoles: An Easy Post-Modification Strategy for Improved CO2 Separation
This study details synthesizing and characterizing a series of N-substituted aromatic polybenzimidazoles (N-PBIs) obtained via post-polymerization modifications of fluorinated polybenzimidazole (PBI-6F). The modifications involved the introduction at imidazole nitrogen of aliphatic chains bearing te...

N-Substituted Fluorinated Polybenzimidazoles: An Easy Post-Modification Strategy for Improved CO2 SeparationAguilar-Lugo, C.Rojas-Rodriguez, M.Lozano López, Ángel EmilioFomina, L.Fomine, S.Alexandrova, L.PolybenzimidazoleThermal DecompositionFluorinated PBIPost-PolymerizationModificationCO2 SeparationN-Substituted PBIsTertiary Amine GroupsGas Separation MembraneThis study details synthesizing and characterizing a series of N-substituted aromatic polybenzimidazoles (N-PBIs) obtained via post-polymerization modifications of fluorinated polybenzimidazole (PBI-6F). The modifications involved the introduction at imidazole nitrogen of aliphatic chains bearing tertiary amine groups, affording N,N-dimethylethylamine and N,N-dimethylpropylamine N-substituted PBIs, PBI-DMEA, and PBI-DMPA, respectively. Their properties were compared with the performance of N-substituted PBI bearing a pure propyl chain, without an amine group in the end (PBI-Pr). All N-PBIs demonstrated enhanced processability, exhibiting solubility not only in dipolar aprotic solvents but also in such ordinary solvents as chloroform and THF. Their performance as gas separation membranes was tested and showed that the membranes with amine groups in the substituent had enhanced permselectivity for the CO2/CH4 gas pair, which was rather explained by an increase in the solubility parameter of CO2. However, the presence of the aliphatic amines also resulted in an unusually low decomposition temperature for these polymers. The mechanism of thermal decomposition and solubility and diffusivity parameters were confirmed by corresponding calculations.This work was financially supported by DGAPA PAPIIT IG100323, SECIHTI CF-2023-G-220, and the Spanish Agencia Estatal de Investigacion (Project AEI/FEDER, UE, PID2023-149594OB-C22).
