Abstract
Friedel-Craft sulfonylation of polyarylenes with 1,3,5- benzenetrisulfonylchloride has been demonstrated to yield soluble and processable, highly sulfonated polyarylenes (IEC 1.9-2.9 milliequivalents/gram) that do not swell in water and are stable to 280 °C. The new method provides an alternative, more efficient approach to sulfonating aromatic polymers.
