New organoelement polyelectrolytes: Protonated poly(alkylaminophosphazenes)

The organoelement polymer bases poly(methylaminophosphazene) and pol(ethylaminophosphazene) have been synthesized by the solid-phase aminolysis of linear ultrahigh-molecular-weight poly(dichlorophosphazene) and characterized. The related cationic polyelectrolytes have been prepared in aqueous solutions in the presence of HCl. As exemplified by the interaction with sodium polystyrenesulfonate and sodium polyphosphate, the polymers form interpolyelectrolyte complexes with anionic polyelectrolytes.
