Synthesis of aromatic polyethers by Scholl reaction. VI. Aromatic polyethers by cation-radical polymerization of 4,4'-, 3,3'-, and 2,2'-bis(1-naphthoxy)biphenyls and of 1,3-bis(1-naphthoxy)benzene

Abstract

Aromatic polyethers with molecular weights M n up to 90500 g/mol are prepared by the cation-radical polymerization of bis-(1-naphtyloxy)aryls in nitrobenzene with FeCl 3 as oxidant.
