Abstract

The thermal polymerization of bis-(p-toluene sulphonate) of 2,4-hexadiyne-1,6-diol has been studied by optical and Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. Single phase polymerization is revealed by continuous changes in the spectra of polymer chains in polymerizing crystals. Spectroscopic and X-ray measurements on extracted polymer are interpreted in terms of random polymer formation. Polymer formed initially is strained but this anneals to a strain-free conformation in the fully converted polymer or on extraction from the monomer lattice. Possible causes of the variations in polymerization rate are discussed.
