Abstract

Three polymers having the structure shown below where R=–CH or–CH and= 5 or 6 (coded C16O5, C16O6 and C12O6), have been synthesised and their complexes with LiClO, LiBF, LiCFSO, LiBr and Mg (ClO) have been prepared.[graphic omitted] Using thermal analysis, polarised light microscopy, small-angle (SAXS) and wide-
