Gh. Wang et al., SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF NOVEL CROWN-ETHER CONTAINING COPOLYMERS RU CATALYZED COPOLYMERIZATION OF 4'-ACETYLBENZOCROWN ETHERS WITH ALPHA,OMEGA-DIENES, Polymer bulletin, 37(2), 1996, pp. 169-173
Ruthenium catalyzed step growth copolymerization of 4'-acetylbenzo-15-
crown-5 and 4'-acetylbenzo-18-crown-6 and alpha,omega-dienes such as 1
,3-divinyltetramethyldisiloxane or 3,3,6,6-tetramethyl-3,6-disila-1,7-
octadiene give novel copolymers which incorporate crown ethers into th
e polymer backbone in a regular manner. The synthesis of these thermal
ly stable copolymers and their characterization is reported. Lithium c
ation crown complexes have been formed.
