Km. Koo et al., CYCLOPOLYMERIZATION OF FLUORINATED DIPROPARGYLMALONATE AND [(TERT-BUTYLDIMETHYLSILYL)OXY]-1,6-HEPTADIYNE AND CHARACTERIZATION OF THE POLYMERS, Macromolecules, 26(10), 1993, pp. 2485-2488
Bis(2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7-dodecafluoroheptyl) dipropargylmalonate (D
FHDPM) and thyl-[(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)oxy]-1,6-heptadiyne (MSHDY)
were polymerized by MoCl5- and WCl6-based catalysts to give new polyme
rs. A high polymer yield was obtained in the presence of MoCl5-based c
atalyst. Both polymers were amorphous violet solids, dissolved in comm
on organic solvents, and their maximum number-average molecular weight
s reached ca. 1.0 x 10(5) and 5.8 X 10(3), respectively. The poly(DFHD
PM) was film-forming, and its P(O2) and P(O2)/P(N2) values were 80 bar
rer and 2.8, respectively.
