Abstract
Covalent linkages: Zwitterion-based covalent linkages were observed in cyclic oligomers and in dispersed polymers based on monomers. Addition of acids and bases promoted transitions between monomeric species and the oligomeric and/or polymeric states. Exchange of constituent monomer units in the cyclic oligomers was observed in the solution state, whereas the polymers obtained as precipitates from CH3CN were not converted to the cyclic oligomers (see scheme).
