Abstract
The interaction of 4-vinylpyridine with molecular bromine has given oligomers of brominated poly-4-vinylpyridine with the ionene structure. The mechanism of the polymerization process is suggested and the possibility of a similar reaction in response to Cl2 and I2 demonstrated. The structure of the products formed has been investigated. The interaction of the monomer with the halogens proceeds in two stages: bromination of the double bond of the vinyl group and the subsequent Menshutkin reaction which in this system is a reaction of polymer chain propagation.
