The 2000 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded for work on polyacetylenes. Acetylene can be polymerized using a Ziegler–Natta catalyst. The cis or trans stereochemistry of the products can be controlled by careful selection and preparation of the catalyst. The resulting polyacetylene is an electrical semiconductor with a metallic appearance. cis-Polyacetylene has a copper color, and trans-polyacetylene is silver. Draw the structures of cis- and trans-polyacetylene.
Can you explain condensation polymerization and give an example with structure of one with 2 carboxylic acid groups and 2 OH groups.
Polymerization of vinyl acetate gives poly(vinyl acetate). Hydrolysis of this polymer in aqueous sodium hydroxide gives the useful water-soluble polymer poly(vinyl alcohol). Draw the repeat units of both poly(vinyl acetate) and poly(vinyl alcohol).

- Poly(vinyl alcohol), PVA, is produced from poly(vinyl acetate) by converting the acetate groups into hydroxyl groups (Section 26.6a.1). As the number of hydroxyl groups in PVA increases, the solubility of the polymer in water decreases. How do you explain this behavior?arrow_forward1) Draw the structure for the polymer (repeat unit only) produced from the monomer vinylidene dichloride (CH₂=CCl₂). 2) One of the most common consumer plastics is PET (polyethylene terephthalate), which is used extensively in containers for food and beverage products. Coca-Cola has recently come up with a biobased source of ethylene glycol for synthesizing this polymer, however, the terephthalic acid is still derived from petroleum sources. A sustainable source of terephthalic acid is therefore highly desired. One candidate is 2,5-furandioic acid. Draw the repeat unit for the resulting sustainable polyester derived from 2,5- furandioic acid and ethylene glycol.arrow_forwardThe 2000 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded for work on polyacetylenes.

Since neither polymer allows oxygen from the air to pass through to the retina, newer contact lenses that are both comfortable and oxygen-permeable have now been developed.arrow_forwardConcerning the polymers produced from monomers containing a single C=C double bond, the following generalizations are apparent: (a) The polymers produced are almost always unsubstituted (i.e. ethylene) or have one substituent on the double bond or two substituents on the same carbon atom of the double bond. Monomers containing one or more substituents on each carbon of the double bond seldom polymerize. (b) Most chain polymerizations are carried out by radical initiation; relatively few are produced by ionic initiation. Why? Explain the reasons for these generalizationsarrow_forward
