Polymer Bulletin Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Azoxyarylene compounds can be quantitatively formed by oxidative coupling of N-arylhydroxylamines in the presence of a copper-pyridine catalyst and dioxygen. This new method was utilized to synthesize a poly(azoxy arylene). Polymer 5 obtained has a weight average molecular weight of 6,500 and a number average molecular weight of 4,400.
