The complexity of themacromolecular chemistry has undoubtedly contributed to thisneglect. Rowever,.it is clear from recent work that dramaticadvances in both fundamntal science and technology would bepossible if the high polymer chemistry of the representativeelements were to be studied in detail. Indeed, the much-heralded renaissance in Main Group chemistry may ultimately dependon a closer investigation of the macromolecular aspects of rhefield.

Guiding Principles

Yearly all synthetic polymers are synthasized by the polymer-ization or copolymerization of different "mnomers." The chaingrowth process say involve the addition chain reactions ofunsaturated small molecules, condensation reactions, or ring-opening chain-coupling processes. In conventional polymerchemistry, the synthesis of a new polymer requires the use of anew monomer. This approach is often unsatisfactory for inorganicsystems, where relatively few monomers or cyclic oligomers can beinduced to polymerize, at least under conditions that have beenstudied to date. The main exception to this rule is thecondensation-type growth that occurs with inorganic di-hydroxyacids.

Because the opportunities for controlled chain growth aremre restricted in inorganic than in organic systems, an alter-native approach to polymer synthesis becomes appealing. This

involves the use of substitution processes carried out on apreformed reactive polymeric intermediate. In this way moleculardiversity can be introduced by different substitution reactionsrather than by s diversification of the polymerization process.

If this principle can be applied, two pocential problems mustbe avoided: the substitution reactions must lead to neither chaincleavage nor crosslinking.

Simple Substitution Reactions with Polv(dihalophosphazenes)

Poly(dichlorophosphazene) (II) is a highly reactive inorganic

macromolecule. It can be prepared by the carefully controlledthermal polymrization of the cyclic crimer, hexachlorocyclocri-phosphazene (I), itself synthesized from phosphorus pentachlorideand amnium chloride. In solution, the chlorine atoms in I1 canbe replaced readily by reaction with a wide variety of organicnucleophiles (1,2,3) (Scheme 1). The resultant polymers (111-v)are stable and display a range of physical and chemical propertiesdetermined by the nature of the organic side groups. Thissynthesis process has been reviewed in detail elsewhere (4-7).Here it is sufficient to note that several hundred poly(organo-phosphazenes) have been prepared by this method. Polymers of

this type are already being used in technology; they are also ofconsiderable scientific interest. Similar syntheses have beendeveloped based oan poly(difluorophosphazens), (PF 2)5 (8).

Cyclic Trimers and Tecramrs as Reaction Models

From a theoretical and mechanistic point of viev, smallmolecule rings are msch easier to study than long macronolecularchains. Substitution reactions carried out on macromolecularsubstrates may involve side reactions that load to chain cleavageor crosslinking. Mechanistic studies vith mcromolecules aredifficult to carry out because of solution viscosity effects,distributions in chain length, and the problem of character-ization. Rence, it is prudent to eplore potential new reactionsfirst with the use of small molecule models such as I, V., and V11and then to eteud these reactions to the high polymers.

Modern Objectives Ln Polymer Synthesis

Polymers have been valued since antiquity for their solidstate properties. By this is meant cheir ability to undergochain entanglement or co-linear orientation aid microcrystalli-zation in the solid state. This underlies their use asstructural mterials, films, fibers, and alastomers. Suchproperties still constitute the driving force for most polymer-oriented research, especially with respect to :he synthesis ofheat-stable, radiation-stable, or highly flexible materials.The electrical properties of solid polymers have always been ofinterest.

However. in recent years another approach to polymerchemistry has received increased emphasis. In this, macro-molecules are studied in terms of their behavior as sinalemolecules rather than as molecular conglomerates. In solution,polymer molecules behave differently from smell moleculesbecause the long chain length permits extensive coiling, reducedtranslational mobility, and an inability to pass through semi-permeable membranes. Lightly crosslinked polymers behave likelinear polymers in solution except that the swollen matrix has aphysical immobility and an open matrix character unlike any othersystem. For these reasons, polymers are of great interest as"carrier molecules" for chemotherapeutic drugs or transitionmetal catalysts.

Finally, single macromolecules, because of their one-dimensional character, offer the promise of sequential side groupcoding, information storage, and template function in the mannerthat is well known in biological polymers (Figure 1).

Conventional synthetic organic polymers are being studiedfor all of these reasons, but the general lack of chemicalreactivity in these systems is a serious drawback. It is forthis reason that polyphosphaene, with their substitutive

method of synthesis, are of considerable interest. In thefollowing sections, I will illustrate vhy the polyphosphazenesystem is an appealing starting point for now developments in twospecific areas - in chemotherapy and polymer-bound catalyst york.

Bioactive Polyphosphazenes

Specific inorganic macromolecules are unusual because theycan be hydrolyzed to relatively innocuous products or to smallmolecules that can be metabolized. Most conventional organicpolymers do not have this attribute. Thus. these inorganicsystems are of special interest as carrier molecules in chemo-therapy.

Recent work in our laboratory has shown that certain sidegroups attached to a polyphosphazene chain impart a sensitivityto hydrolytic chain cleavage; ocher side groups generate water-solubility. Both of these characteristics are important inchemotherapy. Polyphosphazenes are also valuable in biologybecause two or more substituted groups can be readily attachedto the same chain. Thus. individual side groups that possesschemotherapeutic, vater-solubilization, hydrolytic-destabilization,or 'homing" characteristics can be combined in one molecule toform a drug vith a set of synergistic properties.

Polymers containing the repeating units shown in VIII-XIhave been shown to be hydrolytically degradable and/or water-soluble (9-13). Amino acid ester derivatives (VIII) degrade toethanol, amino acid, phosphate, and amonia, vhich can either bemetabolized or excreted. Thus, such side units used togethervith chemotherapeutic cosubstituent groups, provide a facile drugdelivery system. Imidazolyl side groups (IX) also conferhydrolytic sensitivity, but the biochemical response to thehydrolysis products has not vet been established. aethylaminoside groups X) provide vater-solubility, as do glucose residues(XI).

Steroid-bound polyphosphazenes (XII) can be prepared by thereaction of II vith metal steroidoxide salts folloved by treatmentwith amino acid esters (14.15). The sulfadiazine-bound polymer(.aII) was synthesized by Schiff's base coupling of a polvphos-phazene bearing a pendent aldshydic group with the antiobiocicasine (16). The local anesthetic, procaine, was linked to thepolymer backbone by direct aminolysis of TI to yield polymersbased on the repeating unit XIV (17). Peptide-couplingtechniques have been used for the linkage of polyphosphazenesbearing pendent amino residues to bioactive carboxylic acids (XV)(I.).

Linkage of Transition Metals to Phosphazene Pings and HiPolvymrs

This book comprises a survey of recent advances inchemistry of the representative (Main Group) elements.the long-range resurgence of Main Group chemistry as an exi-ndingresearch area depends to some extent on the strength of its inter-face with organic chemistry, transition metal chemistry, andapplied science. Some organic-related aspects of phosphazenechemistry were discussed in the previous section. Here theinterface with transition metal chemistry is reviewed.

Polyphosphazenes and cyclophosphazenes are almost unique ascarrier molecules for transition metals because of the wide rangeof binding sites that can be incorporated into the phosphazenestructure. The substitutive mode of synthesis described earlierallows a structural diversity that is not found, for example, inpolystyrene, polyphenylene oxide, or other organic carrierpolymers.

he emphasis in the following sections will be on exploratorymodel reactions carried out with phosphazene cyclic trimers ortetramers, although the analogous macromolecules systems have alsobeen studied in several cases. First, I will summarize thevarious types of metal binding sites that are accessible at thepresent time. Synthetic procedures leading to the incorporationof several of those sites and their role in metal binding willthen be discussed.

Options for Metal-Binding Sites. Seven approaches formetal-binding to cyclic or polymeric phosphazenes have beenexplored in our laboratory. These are sumarized in structuresXVI!I (21). M (22-25), . (26). I (27), II (28,9), III(30). and MXV (31.32.33).

• etallohophazenes with Phosphorus-.Metal Bonds. Untilrecently, the chemistry of cyclic and high polymeric phosphazeneswas essentially the chemistry of their organic derivatives (Scheme1). However, a discovery reported in 1979 (31) opened up a newfield of metallophoephazene chemistry in which transition metalsform the nucleus of the side group structure and are linked tothe skeleton through phosphorus-metal bonds. These species areof theoretical and potentially practical importance, and I Villsummarize briefly some of the main features known at this time.

Organometallic anions react with halophosphazenes to replacehalogen atoms by organometallic units. The first reactions ofthis type discovered are illustrated in Scheme 5. The metallo-phosphazenes are surprisingly stable. Moreover, as shown below,hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene reacts with an organometallic di-anicn to yield both a dimetallo derivative (=CI) and a tri-metallic cluster derivative (MXMII).

stabilized by both P-metal and N-metal coordinative bonds. Otherme|allophosphazones containing Pt and Au have been reportedrecently by Schaidpeter and coworkers (35). X-ray structuredata have been obtained for several of these compounds and, asmight be expected, a strong interaction between the metallicunits and the phoephazene ring system is evident (31,32,.33,36).

Conclusions

The reactions discussed in this chapter are illustrative ofthe chemical diversity that follows from the substitutiveapproach to polymer synthesis. Rings and polymers based on theMain Group inorganic elements are especially appropriate for thisapproach because of the generally high reactivity of, forexample, the element-halogen bonds. Thus, a key problem facingthe inorganic research community is to devise and developmethods for the synthesis of high polymers, comparable to poly-(halophosphazenes), that contain elements such as silicon,aluminum, boron, or sulfur in the skeleton, with reactive sidegroups attached to these atoms. Once these polymers have beensynthesised, a diverse arsenal of side group substitutionprocesses can then be mobilized to prepare a broad range ofdifferent mcromolecules. If this can be accomplished, itshould have an almost unprecedented impact on inorganicchemistry, polymer chemistry, and high technology.

Figure 1. Traditional and exploratory uses for high polymers. (a) Polymers

have been used traditionally for their solid state, chain entanglemenc

behavior vhich gives rise to strength or elasticity. (b) Polymers used as

carrier molecules for bioactive agents are under investigation in controlled-

release drug therapy either as targeted macroolecular drugs or as immobilized,

biodegradable system. (c) Transition metal catalysts linked to polymers

can be immobilized for ease of manipulation or recovery, or the polymer may

modify the catalytic activity. (d) Electrical conduction in polymers may

occur along =saturiced chain sequences or betveen chains in crystalline

domains. (e) Sequential arrangement of side groups along a linear polymer

chain offers the prospect of control of polymer conformation, or the use of

such polymers as templates for the controlled construction of complementary

polymer molecules. Such polymers amy also prove useful in the future for

infor mtion storage at the molecular level.
