Abstract

AbstractA copolymer of p‐hydroxybenzoic acid, formaldehyde, and p‐bromoaniline was prepared in the presence of acid catalyst, and five fractions have been separated from it. Br content of each of the fractions was determined by chemical analysis, and on the basis of mole ratio of repeating units present in the copolymer chain, the total amounts of acidic and basic groups in a given weight of the copolymer were calculated. Nonaqueous titrations of all the fractions have been carried out in acidic and basic medium with suitable titrants. An excellent correlation was observed between the calculated and observed values of functional groups. The features of the titration curves were interpreted in terms of intramolecular hydrogen bonding and homoconjugation.
