Abstract

Novel polyelectrolytes were synthesized by quaternization of the backbone of poly (alkoxy- and aryloxyphosphazenes) with strong alkylation reagents. As models for the synthesis of these polymers, similar quaternization reactions were also carried out on small-molecule alkoxy and aryloxy cyclotriphosphazenes. The quaternized small molecules and high polymers were characterized by 1H NMR, 31P NMR, DSC, TGA, and AC impedance ...
