Abstract

The readily prepared CF₃TMS adduct of anthraquinone is shown to be an efficient monomer for superacid-catalysed step-growth polymerisations, as exemplified by its reaction with diphenyl ether. The resulting polymer (BTFMA-DPE) is produced rapidly, with high molecular mass, and shows promise as a gas separation membrane material.
