Abstract

Cyclopolymerization of 2,6-bis[3-(4,5-epoxy-2-oxapentyl)-2-methoxy-5-methylphenyl]-4-methylanisole was carried out with cationic, anionic, and coordination catalysts. The polymers obtained with BF3·OEt2 or SnCl4 in dichloromethane and with t-BuOK in DMSO were soluble in benzene, chloroform, and THF. The mole fractions of the cyclic units in these polymers were from 0.65 to 0.75. The resulting poly(hemispherand) bound alkali metal cations and the selectivity was in the order of Rb+>K+>Cs+>Na+>Li+.
