“…These incorporate primary alkyl-or arylamines, imidazole, isothiocyanates, thiourethanes, thioureas, pyrrole, or pyridine side units. [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] However, phosphazenes with aliphatic tertiary amines, specifically -OCH 2 -CH 2 N(CH 3 ) 2 , in the side group structure have been limited to mixed-substituent materials with less than 20% of the side groups bearing the tertiary amine, and this undoubtedly disguised some of the problems that became apparent in the present work. 26,27 The incorporation of tertiary amino units into the side groups of polyphosphazenes can, in principle, be accomplished through reaction of a chlorophosphazene such as 2 with an alkoxide, aryloxide, primary amine, or secondary amine that bears a tertiary amino residue, typically at the terminus of the reagent.…”
