Polycondensation of haloaromatics and sodium sulfide has been studied. An increase in reactivity of functional groups, a change of the composition of the elementary polymeric unit with a change of the relative amounts of the monomers, and a key role of side‐reactions, i.e. intra(molecular) and macrocyclisation, have been revealed. Low‐melting isomeric poly(phenylene sulfides), as well as their derivatives, reactive telechelic oligomers, have been prepared. New methods of preparation of poly(arene sulfides) by transarylation of diphenyl sulfide, polymerisation of cyclic aromatic sulfides, or by direct polycondensation of arenes with sulfur under the action of AlCl3, as well as by polycondensation of aniline with sulfur in the absence of catalysts have been suggested. Structures and properties of newly prepared polymers have been studied.
Reactions of sulfuryl chloride with dibenzothiophene and related heterocyclic systems have been studied. It is shown that under different conditions, C-or S-halogenation of the heterocycle takes place. A series of new chlorine derivatives of dibenzothiophene, phenoxathiin and thianthrene have been synthesized and characterized.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
