Abstract
A new electronegative alkoxyphosphazene monomer, -dinitropropoxy)N-(tr imethylsilyl)phosphoranimine, has been prepared. The anionic polymeriz ation of this monomer occurs even at room temperature, in contrast to that of previous trialkoxy-N-(trimethylsilyl)phosphoranimines, which r equire elevated temperatures for efficient polymerization. The new pol ymerizations occur via catalysis by tetra-n-butylammonium fluoride or even by adventitious moisture.
