Notes:
The functionalized polyethylene acrylic acid copolymers Primacor 1430 (P1430, containing 9.5% acrylic acid) and Primacor 5980 (P5980, containing 20% acrylic acid) have been used to synthesize gold/polymer dispersions and gold/polymer ionomers, respectively. When [Ph3PAu]+ is bonded directly to the carboxylate, work-up of the polymer leads to decarboxyation and metallic gold formation. However, ionic bonding of [(Ph3P)2Au]+, and related bis phosphine cations produce workable, foamable polymers. Analysis shows samples from these reactions to contain between 4-15 wt % of Au depending on the type of gold complex used and the reaction conditions. The gold/polymer (ionomer) sample with about 12% Au has been worked to mold sheets of foam. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
