    Abstract
    The experimental results of the current work have two parts. First the synthesis, characterization, and spontaneous copolymerization of two highly electrophilic imines, tricyanomethanimine and methyl 3-aza-α, β-dicyanoacrylate. 1,1-Dichloro-2,2-dicyanoethylene or methyl 3,3-dichloro-2-cyanoacrylate reacted with excess sodium azide to give the corresponding diazides, which smoothly underwent thermolysis in solution to give a solution of the novel tricyanomethanimine or methyl 3-aza-α, β-dicyano-acrylate. Attempted isolation gave only oligomers, but reactions using solution of these imines succeeded. Cyclopentadiene and 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene afforded hetero Diels-Alder reactions. N,N-Dimethylaniline with tricyanomethanimine gave a p-substituted derivative, but with methyl 3-aza-α, β-dicyanoacrylate only a charge transfer complex was formed. Imines - p-methoxystyrene copolymers were obtained. These imines are as reactive as TCNE, but in contrast can also polymerize. Second, a new unsymmetrically substituted quinodimethane was synthesized, characterized, and copolymerized with electron donating monomers. Oxidation of the 1-cyano-1-phenylmethylene-4-cyano-4-ethoxycarbonylmethylene with MnO₂ gave mostly poly-7,8-dicyano-7-ethoxycarbonyl-8-phenylquinodimethane (DCEPQ), but depolymerization by sublimation yielded 45% of DCEPQ. This compound was a mixture of cis and trans isomers. It was homopolymerized by anionic initiation. High molecular weight copolymers of DCEPQ-styrene, DCEPQ-p-methylstyrene and DCEPQ-p-methoxystyrene(p-MeOSt) were formed spontaneously in 1,2-dichloroethane. All polymerizations occurred by a radical mechanism. High molecular weight polymers formed at low conversion. DCEPQ - p-MeOSt copolymerizations yielded alternating copolymers. From spontaneous polymerization of DCEPQ with NVC no copolymer was obtained. All of these polymerizations begin with a bond forming mechanism and propagate by polyaddition.
