Abstract
The elimination reaction of the sulfonium-substituted chlorocyclotriph osphazene N3P3Cl4Pri(CMe2OSO2Me) with 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-e ne afforded a new olefin-substituted chlorocyclotriphosphazene, N3P3Cl 4Pri(CMe=CH2), and an ansa derivative with formula N3P3Cl3Pri(CMe2CH=C MeO). The crystal structures of the three compounds were determined. T he sequence of N-P bond lengths in the molecules can be explained from the difference in group electronegativity of the phosphorus centres. For N3P3Cl4Pri(CMe2OSO2Me) two crystallographic independent molecules are present in the asymmetric unit. In N3P3Cl3Pri(CMe2CH=CMeO) the bri dge between two phosphorus atoms compresses the inorganic ring, which is reflected in a large deviation of 0.563(2) Angstrom of one of the N atoms from the least-squares plane through the remaining ring atoms. This distortion is accompanied by a contraction of the non-bonded P... P distances. The propene derivative has been used in radical copolymer ization with methyl methacrylate and styrene. A maximum incorporation of 18 mol % was achieved with styrene as comonomer.
