New Synthesis of Phosphazene Polymers.
Abstract
The project involves a detailed study of the synthesis, characterization, and reactivity of silicon-nitrogen-phosphorus compounds, some of which are useful precursors to an important class of inorganic polymers known as polyphosphazenes. Our results include the successful development of a new, general, and direct method for the synthesis of such polymers including poly(dimethyl-phosphazene), (Me2PN)n. Thus, we report here the synthesis of a variety of new phosphazenes including several homopolymers, copolymers, crosslinked polymers, and transition metal containing polymers. The latter and many other new types of phosphazenes are now readily accessible by a recently discovered anion formation reaction of the polymer precursors.
