Synthesis by free radical polymerization and properties of BN-polystyrene and BN-poly(vinylbiphenyl)†
Abstract
Free radical polymerization of B-vinyl- and B-styryl-functionalized azaborinine monomers gives well-defined hybrid polymers that were fully characterized by multinuclear NMR and GPC analysis; their solubility, thermal characteristics, and photophysical properties are dramatically different from those of the all-carbon polystyrene analogues.
