Carbochain polymers with oxadiazole, triazole, and tetrazole cycles

The synthesis and properties of carbochain polymers with side azole groups containing three and four heteroatoms are considered. The data on the synthesis of vinyl derivatives of oxadi-, tri-, and tetrazoles and their polymerizability are systemized and generalized. The potential of polymer-analogous transformations for preparation and modification of polyvinylazoles are demonstrated. The structure-property relationships for the mentioned polymers are analyzed.
