Synthesis of Sulfur-Rich Polymers: Copolymerization of Episulfide with Carbon Disulfide by Using [PPN]Cl/(salph)Cr(III)Cl System
摘要:
The completely alternating copolymerization of propylene sulfide with carbon disulfide was first achieved. Copolymerization by using anionic initiator [Ph3P=N=PPh3]Cl gave poly(propylene trithiocarbonate). The addition of chromium complex was found to accelerate the copolymerization. The obtained copolymer has a completely alternating structure with high regioregularity and showed large refractive index of 1.781 similar to 1.782.
