High molecular weight poly(N-methyl-B-vinylazaborine) - a semi-inorganic B-N polystyrene analogue

We present the synthesis of a B-N analogue of polystyrene, poly(N-methyl-B-vinylazaborine) in high molecular weight (M-W = 24.9 kDa). Furthermore, it was possible to prepare a copolymer with the C-C analogue. A thorough comparison between the polymers by NMR spectroscopy, TGA, DSC and GPC showed significant differences between these polymers.
