CHEMISTRY OF DECABORANE-PHOSPHORUS COMPOUNDS. III. DECABORANE-PHOSPHINE POLYMERS
Abstract
Under basic conditions B10H12(Ph2P.C1)2 and B10H12(Ph2P.OH)2 were found to enter into a condensation polymerization with elimination of hydrogen chloride to form a P-O-P linked polymer, (-OPPh2B10H12PPh2-)x. A study of the pyrolysis of this polymer and monomeric compounds of the type B10H12(Ph2P.R)2 was conducted. B10H12(Ph2P.N3)2 and diphosphines reacted in refluxing benzene with evolution of nitrogen to give P=N-P linked polymers of high thermal stability, e.g. (=PPh2-C6H4-PPh2=N-PPh2B10H12PPh2N=)x, dec.>340 degrees.
