Synthesis and Antimicrobial Activity of Poly (Oxyethylene)S Functionalized with Quaternary Phosphonium End Groups

Abstract Poly(oxyethylene)s functionalized with quaternary phosphonium end groups were obtained by converting terminal hydroxyl end groups into phosphoniurn ion groups in the polymer-analogous reactions with phosphines and hydrogmu chloride. The products were characterized by: IR, UV. H NMR spectroscopy, thin-layer chromatography.
