| Abstract: | The reaction of the sodium salt of the commercially available surfactant Igepal CA 210™ with hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene, N3P3Cl6 (1) and poly(dichlorophosphazene), [—P(Cl2)=N—]n (Publisher's note: for graphical representation please see printed journal or the Acrobat PDF version on this website.) affords lipophilic cyclo- and poly-phosphazenes SSCP (2) and SSPP (4), respectively. These materials, containing a short chain oligo etheroxy side group while being completely insoluble in water, are soluble in a wide range of solvents ranging from hexane to chloroform. The polymer, SSPP (4) forms polymer–metal salt complexes with lithium salts. DC conductivity measurements by a complex impedance method have been carried out. The maximum conductivity observed for SSPP–LiClO4 (O: Li ratio, 6:1) is 1·0×10-6Scm-1 at 348K. © 1998 SCI. |
