Continued from Fu-12


Fu-13. Fullerenes in Polymers

Polymers containing fullerenes are named in accordance with source-based (ref. 14) and structure-based (ref. 15) nomenclature principles for naming organic polymers.

Examples:

Note: There are no specific IUPAC recommendations for drawing source-based polymer structures. The structures in this section follow conventions adopted by CAS.
I    A homopolymer.

Poly{[3'H-cyclopropa[1,9](C60-Ih)[5,6]fullerene-3',3'-diyldibuta-1,3-diyne-4,1-diyl]bis(trimethylsilane)}
(a source-based name)

II    A copolymer.

Poly[ethane-1,2-diamine-co-(C60-Ih)[5,6]fullerene]
(a source-based name)

III    An alternating copolymer.

Poly[4,4'-1aH-1(9)a-homo(C60-Ih)[5,6]fullerene-1a,1a-diyldiphenol-alt-1,4-diisocyanatobenzene]
(a source based name) error details

IV A polymer constitutional repeating unit (CRU)

Poly[oxy-1,4-phenylenesulfonyl-1,4-phenyleneoxy-1,4-phenylene-
-1aH-1(9)a-homo(C60-Ih)[5,6]fullerene-1a,1a-diyl-1,4-phenylene]
(a structure-based name)
