โฆ Synopsis
Ring-shaped macromolecules have been synthesized by the reaction of a bifunctional "'living" polystyrene with a stoichiometric amount of dibromo-p-xylene, at very low concentration. The reaction is carried out step by step, leading both to the expected cyclic polymer and to a "polycondensate'. Fractionatal precipitation and one-step fractionation lead to well defined macrocycles of known size.
