Sulfur-containing Polymers. XIII. The Synthesis and Properties of Soluble Polydithiocarbamates

Abstract
Polydithiocarbamates have been synthesized by the polycondensation of di-K or di-Na bisdithiocarbamates based on secondary diamines with bischloromethylated aromatics in N,N-dimethylformamide. The polymers obtained in good yields had inherent viscosities up to 0.66. The polymers derived from 1,3-di-4-piperidylpropane were soluble in organic solvents, such as dichloromethane and chloroform, and gave transparent, tough films from the solution. These polymers decomposed upon UV irradiation, with the liberation of carbon disulfide. The photopolymerization of methyl methacrylate in the presence of the polymer has also been studied.
