Aliphatic Polyketones as Shapable Molecular Chains

Determination of the critical chain length for macromolecular crystallization using structurally flexible polyketones

“…In this work, we focused on aliphatic polyketones consisting of 3,3-dimethylpentane-2,4-dione (1) as the monomer. [42][43][44][45][46] Recently, these polyketones have received attention as lithium ion conducting materials 47 and as structurally exible synthetic precursors for generating metal ion adsorbents, 48 pconjugated chromophores, [49][50][51][52] and anion-binding hosts. 53 Furthermore, these polyketones have advantages in the stepwise synthesis of discrete oligomers.…”
