Structural and thermosensitive properties of novel octopus shape cyclotriphosphazenes

Three novel compounds (3–5) were synthesized from the reactions of non-geminal cis-2,4,6 diethylene glycol monobutyl ether substituted cyclotriphosphazene (2a) with ethylamine, hexylamine and dodecylamine. Compounds 3–5 were characterized by 31P NMR, MS and elemental analysis. The thermosensitive properties of compounds 3–5 were investigated. Compound 3 showed thermosensitive properties which might enable it to be used as a biomedical material.

Three novel cyclotriphosphazene derivatives were synthesized and characterized. One of them is an amphiphilic molecule, being soluble in water as well as in organic solvents.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
