Abstract:A new kind of polybenzoylthiourea polymer (PBTU) was synthesized through a polycondensation reaction between 3,5-diamino-1,2,4-triazole and tereftaloyl diisothiocyanate in poly(ethyleneglycol)dimethylether (PEG) as the phase transfer catalyst. Obtained polymer was highly soluble in organic solvents including N,N-dimethyl formamide (DMF) and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) in contrast to the insoluble nature of similar benzoyl thiourea polymers reported in the literature. Solubility of the obtained polymer allowed us… Show more
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.
