Ai. Kovalev et al., INVESTIGATION OF THE CHEMICAL HETEROGENEITY OF POLYPHENYLENES USING THE CONDENSATION OF METHYL ARYL KETONES AS A MODEL REACTION, Russian chemical bulletin, 42(9), 1993, pp. 1529-1535
The chemical heterogeneity of polyphenylenes obtained by trimerization
polycyclo-condensation of acetylaromatic compounds has been investiga
ted by GLC-MS analysis of the products of trimerization cyclocondensat
ion of acetophenone. The mechanism for the formation of side products
of the reaction is discussed. The presence of dypnone fragments in the
polyphenylene structure results in a decrease in the thermal stabilit
y of these polymers.
