Abstract
Abstract Poly(organophosphazenes) containing one alkyl group per each three repeating units are prepared. These polymers are represented by the structure: ##STR1## wherein R is alkyl containing from 1 to 10 carbon atoms; wherein X is selected from the group consisting of chlorine and --OR' radicals in which R' is the same as R or is selected from the group consisting of substituted alkyl radicals and substituted or unsubstituted aryl radicals and wherein n is from 3 to 15,000. Polymers of the above structure in which X is chlorine are prepared by thermally polymerizing a monoalkyl-pentachloro-cyclotriphosphazene having the formula N 3 P 3 Cl 5 R in which R is as defined above. Polymers of the above structure in which X is an --OR' radical as defined above are prepared by thermally polymerizing the monoalkyl-pentachloro-cyclotriphosphazene and then reacting the resultant linear polymer with a suitable alkali metal alkoxide or aryloxide.
