initial weight loss occurred at about this temperature. The data of the thermal behavior are summarized in Table IV.In summary, we have shown that poly(aliphatic sulfides) with high molecular weights are readily prepared by the polycondensation of sodium sulfide with dibromoalkanes in the presence of quaternary ammonium salts such as CTMAC or CTMAB and phosphonium salts such as CTBPB. Since this preparative method is simple and gives quantitatively polysulfides of high molecular weight, it is generally superior to conventional methods for the synthesis of poly (aliphatic sulfides).
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.
