Abstract
Radical polymerization of cyclodextrin (CD) complexed diethyl fumarate ( 1) and diethyl maleate ( 2) was investigated using redox initiator in aqueous media at room temperature. Control experiments were carried out showing that 2 does not homopolymerize using radical initiator in bulk at 60 °C. Complex 2 undergoes homopolymerization with a cis/ trans-isomerization in the presence of both CD and redox initiator. The obtained polymers have a similar structure and molecular weight as polymer obtained from the corresponding 1-CD complex. Additionally, the X-ray structure of a α-cyclodextrin complex of monomer 1 is represented.
