STUDIES ON HEXOLIC ANHYDRIDE BASED POLYESTERS .1. CHARACTERIZATION AND SEQUENCE DETERMINATION IN HEXOLIC BASED COPOLYESTERS BY H-1 AND C-13-NMR By:SIVASAMY, P (SIVASAMY, P); PALANIANDAVAR, M (PALANIANDAVAR, M); VIJAYAKUMAR, CT (VIJAYAKUMAR, CT) ANGEWANDTE MAKROMOLEKULARE CHEMIE Volume: 187 Pages: 169-185 DOI: 10.1002/apmc.1991.051870115 Published: MAR 1991 View Journal Information Abstract The copolyesters and terpolyesters containing maleic or phthalic anhydride and 5,6,7,8,10,10hexachloro-3a,4,4a,5,8,8a,9,9a-octahydro-5,8-methannonaphtho-[2,3-c]-furan-1,3-dione ('hexolic anhydride') with 2-butene-1,4-diol and 2,3-dichloro-2-butene-1,4-diol are synthesized by azeotropic condensation technique. The H-1- and C-13-NMR spectra of these polyesters are recorded and the chemical shifts for the corresponding nuclear magnetic atoms are assigned. A good correlation exists between the observed and theoretically calculated chemical shift values. The sequence distribution, the randomness factor, and the number-average sequence length of each anhydride monomer unit are calculated using H-1- and C-13-NMR spectra. It is found that both methods give identical results for the same copolyesters and terpolyesters. The results indicate that the copolyesters follow Bernoullian statistics and the terpolyesters correspond to alternative copolyesters.
