Abstract

Molecular modelling of the poly(alkylene phosphates) suggests a structure in which the repeat distances appear to be in agreement with those indicated by wide angle X-ray diffraction studies of the semi-crystalline polymer. The extended zig-zag chains lie in a parallel array in stacks of pleated sheets. There are lines of phosphoryl groups, linked by hydrogen bonding, running in one direction through the structure which appear to be suitable for the selective transport of ions.
