Abstract

The synthesis and some of the physical properties of the first poly (disulfidediamines) are reported. The disulfidediamine functional group (R2NSSNR2) possesses a disulfide bond in a unique environment that leads to a low bond dissociation energy (calculated BDE of 43.1 kcal mol–1). These polymers were synthesized in high yields and with conversions up to> 98% by reactions between secondary diamines and a new disulfide monomer. The ...
