The objective of this research is to prepare and thoroughly                     characterize series of polymers and copolymers of the unusually                 highly strained monomer, ı1.1.1! propellane, which has only                     recently become available in substantial amounts.  These polymers               will have unprecedented structures.  Due to the presence of                     bicyclo ı1.1.1! pentane rings, they will contain up to 14                       kcal/mol strain energy per carbon atom.  This high energy                       content, combined with the instability of cations derived from                  the bicyclic ring system, suggests them as candidates for e-beam                and X-ray resists and, with suitable doping, optical storage                    materials.  Moreover, the rigid-rod nature of poly ı1.1.1!                      propellane segments and their tendency to crystallize, discovered               in preliminary experiments, promise other interesting properties.               A major goal is to modify the polymerization process and the                    structure of the products so as to produce tractable polymers.
