A poly(1,3-propylene phosphate), (PPP), which can be considered as a synthetic analogue of naturally occurring teichoic acids, has been studied with infrared spectroscopy. Infrared spectra of PPP in acidic and alkali metal forms have been analyzed in detail and the conclusions concerning intermolecular interactions between phosphate diester groups and the monovalent cation binding to PPP of a different degree of polymerization (n) have been drawn out. It has been shown that in anhydrous PPP, acidic groups are extensively hydrogen bonded. The process of association of phosphate diester groups is rather complex, especially in the samples of lower n. The role of H-bonds in some solution properties of high-molecular PPP samples has been discussed.
