Imonomeerit

Imonomeerit is a term used to describe a class of synthetic polymers derived from monomers that contain imine functional groups. These imine groups, characterized by the C=N double bond, are formed through the condensation reaction between an amine and a carbonyl compound. The resulting polymers possess unique properties owing to the presence of these nitrogen-containing linkages within their backbone.

The synthesis of imonomeerit typically involves step-growth polymerization, where small monomer units react to form larger polymer chains. The specific properties of imonomeerit, such as their thermal stability, solubility, and potential for further chemical modification, are highly dependent on the nature of the amine and carbonyl precursors used in their formation. Research into imonomeerit explores their applications in areas like catalysis, sensing, and as precursors for other advanced materials due to the reactivity of the imine bond, which can undergo hydrolysis or reduction.
