Polymer waste is increasingly problematic for environmental and human health. Recycling efforts are critical in addressing this issue, but most thermoplastic polymers are mechanically recycled, which results in structural degradation and downcycling to lower-value products. Chemical recycling, in contrast, is an increasingly attractive process in which polymers are converted back to their original monomer. Examples include solvolysis of polyesters and polycarbonates, pyrolytic or catalytic depolymerization of polyolefins, and depolymerization of polymers with dynamic covalent bonds. While encouraging progress has been made on this front, these methods are often hampered by the requirement for solvent or exogenous reagents, high energy consumption, or polymer degradation to unwanted byproducts. Here, the thermal depolymerization of poly-1 was investigated with an aim to introduce a new example to the growing list of chemically recyclable materials (Fig. ). It was anticipated that simply heating this poly(trisulfide) could induce homolytic S-S cleavage in the trisulfide backbone, followed by back-biting to regenerate monomer 1. Due to the volatility of monomer 1, direct distillation was investigated as a simple method for purification and recovery of recycled monomer 1. Importantly, this depolymerization strategy does not require solvent or exogenous reagents, thereby relying only on the innate reactivity of the polymer.
