Preparation of Polystyrenylphosphonous Acid of Low Polymerization Degree and Influence of Initiators upon the Free Radical Reaction Mechanism

Organophosphorus chemistry plays an important role in chemical engineering, pesticide, medicine and catalysis1,2. In recent years, after extensive research and widespread application, synthesis and preparation of new organophosphorus compounds have attracted increasing research interest. Polystyrene is a very important and versatile matrix or precursor of various kinds of functional polymer. Usually, introducing of phosphonic PO3H2 or phosphinic PO2H2 group into polystyrene matrix through…
