G. Buika et al., ANIONIC-POLYMERIZATION OF CARBAZOLYL-SUBSTITUTED OXIRANES INITIATED BY POTASSIUM ALKALIDE, POTASSIUM TERT-BUTOXIDE AND POTASSIUM HYDRIDE, Macromolecular chemistry and physics, 196(4), 1995, pp. 1287-1293
The influence of the kind of initiating system and the addition of a c
rown ether on the anionic polymerization of oxiranes with a carbazoyl
substituent is described. Potassium alkalide, potassium tert-butoxide
and potassium hydride were used as initiators. Selecting a suitable in
itiator and crown ether concentration, carbazolyl-containing polymers
with polymerization degrees from 4 to 60 can be produced. Using a susp
ension of potassium hydride in tetrahydrofuran, polymers with relative
ly high molar masses were obtained.
