Abstract

Two new electrophilic monomers, 7,8-di(alkoxycarbonyl)-7,8-dicyanoquinodimethanes, were prepared. These quinodimethanes exhibit moderate electron-acceptor abilities and are highly reactive toward spontaneous homopolymerization in solution as well as in the solid state. Quinodimethane homopolymers were also obtained from heterogeneous spontaneous solution polymerization in the presence of styrene, p-methoxystyrene and isobutyl vinyl ether.
