a new homologous series of linear aliphatic polyesters, such as poly (cis-2- butenylene carboxylate)s, pbms (m is the number of methylene groups in the acid component, m=2-8 have been synthesized by direct polyesterification reactions in anisole, as solvent. ft-ir, 400 mhz h- nmr, c-nmr and elemental analysis were used to establish the structure of polyesters. molecular weight distributions wer...
