| Abstract: | Of the two electron-donor-containing polymers whose synthesis was described in Part I of this series, one was crystalline. This polymer, which contains (methylthio)phenoxy electron-donating groups on the side chains of an N-acyl-substituted polyethylenimine, could be indexed in a triclinic unit cell of dimensions a = 4.35 Å, b = 24.0 Å, c = 12.7 Å, and α = β = γ = 90°. The polymer has the side chains alternating on each side of the polymer backbone. They extend to form at 24.0 Å repeat in that direction. The thickness of the ribbonlike molecule is 4.35 Å, while the repeat distance along the polymer backbone is 12.7 Å, which includes four monomer units. |
