Notes:
The Raman spectra of 1,6-di-p-methoxybenzene-sulfonyloxy-2,4-hexadiyne (MBS) have been recorded during thermal polymerization. The spectra are similar to those of the related p-toluene-sulfonyloxy monomer but indicate a higher strain in the initially formed MBS polymer chains. Despite this similarity, the polymerization kinetics for the two monomers are markedly different. The polymerization behavior of MBS shows that the polymer chain initiation and propagation are practically independent of lattice strain. Possible causes for this independence are discussed.
